Just an fyi the reason why the bracelet may feel flimsy is because of the gaps between links to let the wrist breath more and prevent hair pulling. This will make the bracelet feel a little bit more jangly than if it was constructed with minimal gaps between links.

Actually the bracelet feels quite solid to me. The watch itself with the bracelet is actually quite solid and hefty so I don’t quite know what this flimsiness is about. There will definitely be some gap between the links no matter what.

Great review! I have the Aqua Terra Master 220.10.41.21.02.001 also. I love the dial and orange second hand. I agree that the bracelet is a disappointment. I think the build is solid.. but the links are thin and finished with sharp edges. I bought mine with the bracelet and also wear it with some nice nato straps and leather. I bought mine used for $3500 which was mint!

I agree with you on the bracelet. It looks a little unsubstantial comapred to the rest of the watch. Nice watch otherwise though. No offense intended here but the 38mm might have been a better match for you as watches are trending to the smaller these days. I have a 19.5cm wrist and my sweet spot is 38-40 for non diver watches. Congrats on the acquisition.

I'm somewhat annoyed that we almost expect a discount from Omega who have better movements than Rolex and don't value them for what they are. And yet people stupidly pay more for the "crown" even aftermarket, but does anybody ask ...Why ? Personally I didn't and got my Rolex from an AD. I did pay full asking price for my Omega Aqua Terra without even asking for a discount. Maybe I'm stupid or maybe I thought, it was worth it ! Time will tell......
@TheBoldHairspring
@TheBoldHairspring 3 года назад
Hi there, thanks for your comment! I think the reason why people expect a discount for the majority of Omega models is because Omega allows ADs to offer discounts. I think it also has to do with the fact that Omega is constantly releasing new models, new colorways of existing models and limited edition models too. I wouldn't say anyone is stupid for paying full retail for anything. You could, you did it! I wish I could also do so without asking questions but my funds were and are still limited 😅 As for Rolex, I totally agree with you. I'm on the waiting list for a gmt master II if the AD call me fine, I'll get but I'm definitely not paying they grey market premium.

Great review, thank you. I know you ended up selling it due to the bracelet, but I actually like the bracelet a lot on the ATs. Just bought a 3rd "half" link for a different color dial I have and it fits great. Aside from the bracelet, you were happy with it? The orange wasn't too much for you? Seems to go well with the bracelet. I'm so close to pulling the trigger on this but haven't been able to see it in the flesh yet. I love the orange on like a Rolex Explorer II, so maybe it'd be fine for me? Thanks!

why do you want a heavier bracelet while people pay more for lighter titanium watch? this is actually a positive than negative point, rolex also made a lighter jubilee and charge higher price than heavier oyster. I think this bracelet is more comfortable than previous version, but at some extent I do agree that the bracelet could have been better.
@TheBoldHairspring
@TheBoldHairspring 3 года назад
Hi, Alan! Just a matter of personal preference. It's not only the weight though. The bracelet simply doesn't feel good enough. That's just my opinion of course. In fact, I know many people who have this watch and they're perfectly fine with the quality and feel of the bracelet.

Hi, there! All I'm saying is that the bracelet could be better. Yes, it's well built and nicely finished but for my taste it's a bit thin and light. It's just a personal preference I guess. I eventually sold the AT and bought a Planet Ocean.
@gfrank9772
@gfrank9772 Год назад
@@TheBoldHairspring I agree when it comes to PCLs but I think part of your issue is the ratio of your wrist size vs size of the watch case because if you got the 38mm I bet the top heavy feel would be less pronounced. I have like a 7.25-7.5 in wrist and when I tried the 41mm AT it did not feel too light cause it molded to my larger wrist with its proportions.

It's a beautiful watch, and I can even live with the polished centre links but it's a shame that Omega was lazy with the bracelet. No tapering, no micro-adjustments, an absolute nightmare to remove links. It is the weak 'link' in an otherwise perfect watch.

@@TheBoldHairspring i have the same victorinox officer watch as you except the face dial is different (blue second hand and number are smaller). I really love the bracelet it comes with the victorinox. I was looking into getting aqua terra as my next purchase but the bracelet doesn’t look all that good. Ur video confirmed that. The rubber strap looks amazing with this watch, but im looking for bracelet watch. Im thinking of getting either grand seiko SBGH279 or tudor north flag. As fellow bracelet nerd, which one would you recommend? Do u have any other recommendations for watch with a solid bracelet.
@TheBoldHairspring
@TheBoldHairspring 3 года назад
@@lifematch yes, the omega's bracelet is probably the reason I'll sell it soon. I love the bracelets on my tudor black bay and my oris aquis but they are dive watches. The tudor pelagos has probably the best bracelet/clasp I've seen so far although I'm not a big fan of titanium. The gs you are mentioning I've never seen one in the flesh but it looks to be decent, well executed and it looks solid. No microadjustment points though. If I were you I'd try to see it in person if possible. The bracelet on the north flag is very comfortable, feels solid and it has the same clasp as my black bay which has great action due to the ceramic ball bearings. However, it's still a tough choice, the hi beat movement on the gs is better decorated, the finishing is superior. It's overall a more elegant better looking piece in my opinion. The north flag has it's charm too but it's been discontinued.

@@TheBoldHairspring thank you for taking the time to respond. I would try with the rubber strap before selling it. I tried your exact watch in a rubber strap at an AD and it look amazing, probably the best rubber strap i have ever seen in a watch. It seem like the metal bracelet was an afterthought. Tudor pelagos is bit too thick and bb 58 doesn’t have a see through case back (im a sucker for seeing the movement). I know grand seiko is the better quality overall (some say better than rolex) but im also a sucker for bracelet and i m not sure if it holds up as well as the tudor does. North flag seems to tick all the box and its much cheaper too. Tudor still advertise the north flag in their website so im guessing it can still be bought. However i never seen a grand seiko in person nor a north flag, and where i live, its hard to get those two to see in person. :S. Im planning to drive to another city just to see those two watches in person lol.

But the simple fact is, you are not going to walk into a Rolex AD (or anywhere) and buy a Rolex for MSRP. You will be on a waitlist, and it's doubtful you will ever get a call. On the open (secondary) market the OP goes for three to four times the retail price. Regarding the Grand Seiko, talk about a lousy bracelet. Cheap, flimsy, pinches, and at a higher price than the Omega. I am also not a fan of the Omega Aqua Terra bracelet and would only consider this watch on a leather strap or a NATO.
