omega aqua terra A8500 (miyota) grey dial review and pics
- Thread starter nutbar
- Start date
I'd love to see some real life qc pics of the blue dial. Of the ones they had to nail perfectly, the blue had to be it. Here's to hoping!
Great review! I got the white one yesterday and agree that it's a great rep. I've been looking for a white face watch for a long time and was very happy when this finally came along. I would put the bracelet a few more steps down the quality ladder though. "Clanky" is the word that came to mind when I first held it.
Hopefully that will be updated soon but it's still a great rep. A keeper for sure. I just gotta find another bracelet for it.

cheers mate! and nice pics of the white dial on the other thread, I was torn between the white and grey, I myself have been after a white dial for the past few months and the only one that really sang to me around the shops I visited was the AT...so maybe i'll add the white soon to go with the grey!
im in agreement with the bracelet, mine felt light also as I stated in the review, but not really "tinny", just light. the part I found sharpest was around the clasp area, but after 3 days of wear I didn't notice it, I also found that after being on the wrist with abit of sweat etc it did start to feel better in the hand, I may lube the links, and run some polishing wadding over it and see what its like then to give it a better finish.
mines now on the leather strap pictured, for some reason this watch suits a leather strap more than any other I own...
a note on the movement decoration, I've looked a little closer and appears the decoration is one complete piece over the actual movement and is secured to the movement holder, it looks like if you remove the rotor and undo the movement holder screws, the whole decoration piece will come out with the holder revealing the actual movement below. i'll confirm when I get chance to take it apart! but if so, it would mean that movement replacing would be cheap and easy and you just place the decoration back on (if ever the watch needed a new movement etc).
and yeah-definite keeper this one!

That's interesting. I wonder if it's possible to put a A2836 in there and keep the decorative plate. Or... Take the decorative plate and put it in a crpo.

interesting idea that...I gotta free day tomorrow so will look into it and confirm, il take some pics too. it may be possible if the movements are roughly the same size, height etc...may need a little modding, i'll let you all know what I find tomorrow!
Nice review. Nice pictures. Applause! Applause!!
I'm still holding out for the promised updated blue dialed version.

Great review! Like some others I am still holding out, in my case to see if they release a 38.5 midsized model.
That being said, great review and it looks good on you. I hop you will like it for a long time.

Thank you for the great photos and review!! I'm still trying to hold out for the elusive accurate blue dial too.

Maybe the factory are working on these updates, who knows?
I keep on checking Puretime asia for this monumental improvement for the CrPO
going to cop the 45mm titanium blue version soon if they update it.
Awesome nice review!!
Thank you for the review. And compliments on the pictures. We all know it takes time and skill to make the watch stand out like that!
Really like this rep, good review mate, the time you've taken in reviewing this is much appreciated.
Thanks for the review!! Can you comment on the water resistance of these replica omega watches? i'm new the forum and would like to know if I could go swimming (few feet deep) in them or even just rinse the watch under water without worry.
