Omega AT for me

JLC all the way, moon phase is a great plus. Also JLC makes this model in black and in blue dials.

& Alddiedive 🫵🏻🤷🏼🍀

I have a PRX quartz in blue over a year, and im very happy with this watch, i don’t must have an PM or Tsuyosa 👋

It’s true, Aqua Terras are just that good.

Had both, sold both and the OP was the only one I re bought back (and then sold again 😂) you're right with your conclusion, the OP you really do put on and then it slinks onto the background... I find the AT is a bit confusing, as it's too nautical for an all day watch and I felt it was too shiny and nice to go in the sea, so a go nowhere watch! My daily is the TGV x Islander Rangemaster which ticks all boxes for under £500 ❤

I wish more watches had time zone hour adjustment

I’ve been eying this model up for the past 6 months I think it almost perfect! My main issue is a wish it was 39/40mm! I currently have the 39mm OP but this dial is perfect imo, I’ve always loved the explorer but there is something about the blue dial Anyone know if this model wears larger than the 36mm that’s stated? 🤞🏻

I'd say the Rolex barely edges out the Omega AT since the OP case is a tad thinner and that bracelet is near impossible to beat. I'll argue one of the best mixes of these two styles is my daily: DJ 36 blue motif dial on oyster. Sporty side with the bracelet and dial pattern, but also pulls off the conservative/dressy look with the fluted bezel, stick markers, and smaller case. Max-you made the right decision twice, no loser between these two. Blue is a fantastic choice for a daily (a bit of bias but that's what we're here for) Cheers! Next point of order is to join watchcrunch since this is long-winded...

The Happy Hour OP would be the 'grape!' In this comparo, I would go for the OP.

4 me it is the OP. Get going 🚀

Certina and Doxa

Omega for me

Is this the "white" dial Timex demonstrated in the video? Because this doesn't look like it's white (even though video says they come in panda and reverse panda colors). I want this exact watch and bracelet, but having a hard time knowing which exact type this color combo is

Great collection

I love both! I think both would be perfect in my collection for different reasons. I think although similar in being a GADA watch, I find the OP a bit more refined and the AT more fun. They are both on my list for some day!

I have a sbga415 Love it but agree w issues w bracelet - a pin randomly came out. And also it’s very poor legibility in even dim light

I was looking to get the aqua terra for a daily but still felt it was a bit too much money for a daily for my budget. Got the new Longines conquest instead, 72h power reserve, AR coating both sides of the crystal, gorgeous bracelet and an amazing blue dial that comes alive in the sun. Super happy with it especially for sub 2k

Not safe to wear a Rolex every day

Inherited one from my grandpa, the Lume has “expired” I didn’t do anything regarding that, I feel proud of having it- however I’d rather die than selling it.

The Omega, pre-owned, in the smaller size. I like the OP but don't want the bagage.

can someone please tell me where can i buy an after market premium high fkn quality oyster bracelet for Tudor 1926 41 mm????????!!!!!!?!?!!???!!??!?!?

Aquaterra looks better for me. I prefer having a quickset date over a jump hour function but thats also because i dont travel much and since my watches are on rotation, it's easier to change dates when its that watch's turn for the day.

Rollex !

I love my blue Aqua Terra GMT in 43mm. Not a fan of that basket weave strap. I put mine on a matching blue sailcloth strap with deployant from Artem Straps.

When do you think they'll release the BB 31/36/39/41 with a T-fit Oyster ?

Nice intro! and overall video too 👍🏻

I’d go for the Seamaster all the way. You can go into an Omega boutique and buy it over the counter, whereas Rolex will say you are privileged to part with your hard earned and now you will wait for your purchase. Have a nice day.

Great video! Been considering the OP a lot recently to replace my modern explorer. Have you tried putting the OP on a strap? My main bugbear with modern Rolex is that the do not make it easy to put after market straps on as there is not enough space between the spring bar and the case. It’s one of the reasons I’m tempted to part ways with my modern explorer.

Always Rolex over Omega, no ETA zone here 🙌🏻

An actually amazing collection

Having owned a 214270 for two years, I confirm this Explorer dial Oyster Perpetual, remaining true to its OP essence, is a better daily driver. Where as the current Explorer doesn’t have much connection to the 1016, bar for the name. If (as I do now), you no longer fancy forking out thousands and thousands of Euros on any timepiece, consider the Traska Commuter. A proper modern tribute to the Rolex OP.

Rolex. all around perfect.

I have both but my Omega AT is a first generation and I had the baton hands changed for Mercs on the OP. The OP is the best simple watch ever made period. The first generation AT is, for me, just breathtakingly elegant and graceful. It’s very hard to compare them because they were not designed to achieve the same form, yet both are near perfect in their design and function. I think they are equally amazing.

I do wanna size down down the AT a bit, 36 is just right on the spot

I have both watches and they are both great watches. While the bracelet on the Rolex OP is very well made, I never got it to fit my wrist perfectly, but that's just my wrist. The Omega is not as classic looking, but very solidly made and feels tougher. Definitely a hard choice, and you can't go wrong with either one.

Both great choices. I have a white AquaTerra, love it, with a nato strap instead of the bracelet (which shows fingerprints too easily).

Why sinn, it looks ugly

Same? Perfection will also stand out

The AQ puts the GADA in GA DAMN.

The Aqua Terra should be the daily, I honestly don't know what the OP is for if you already have an AT.

I like the Rolex OP more myself. Great choice.

This is the OP to have, no questions asked.

Thanks for the great post on an under-appreciated model. As a fellow 116000 blue owner, I'm with you on the baton hands. I love the Explorer, but have always found the printed Coronet to feel crammed underneath the 12 o'clock triangle. I love how the OP's applied gold Coronet doubles as the marker and, to me, declutters the dial. Also, the case measures at just over 37mm, so it wears a bit larger than the name would suggest.

Personally I’m all about the Aqua terra.

u are using 35mm or 40mm?

I have tried both. The oyster bracelet is so comfortable. I think the OP is,simply perfect. I don't need a date. That is why my Fitbit and phone are for. Rolex for me.

It’s the AT for me, although I agree the steel bracelet is subpar.

im 82, think ill have a go at making an eight foot high grandfather clock and strapping it to my back, with a big mirror to watch it in. Sorry, bad joke, no, ill make a watch and hope to enjoy it.

The Shades Terracotta is my daily driver and is just better than the OP. Brilliant Omega
