Thanks, Daan! A valiant effort was made in favor of the OP (otherwise known as the unoriginal rich man’s entry-level choice). About as enticing as an oyster (salty specimens of sea sputum that I despise) and perpetually absent from Rolex boutiques, it’s a watch that does what it does exceptionally well. I’m just not entirely sure what exactly it is that it does… But before I get too mean, let’s first take a look at my contender this week. As you know, I’ll be rooting for the perfect replica Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades. This is the latest addition to the AT range, and it comes in at 38mm with plenty of changes from its predecessors. It’s what I would consider 1:1 fake Omega’s take on creating a perfect GADA watch. If you want a full, detailed dive into the Aqua Terra Shades, you can find Thomas’s article here.
Now, there are several reasons why I’d take the luxury fake Omega Aqua Terra over the Oyster Perpetual any day of the week. One of the key aspects has to do with its dimensions. Though 36mm is a classic size for bezel-less Rolex watches, I feel that the 38mm size of the ATs is a bit more contemporary and will suit more wrists overall. It also gives the watch a relatively slimmer profile. This latest take on the cheap replica Omega watches also complements the more elegant side of the watch with a re-engineered bracelet. It’s thinner and as comfortable as you might like. And though not my cup of tea, the polished and brushed finishes make it a far more versatile watch. I find that on the OP, the Oyster bracelet is just a tad too chunky, detracting from the watch’s “dressier” side and firmly cementing it as a sports watch. But then it butts heads with the Rolex Explorer, and we all know who wins that duel.
It’s what’s inside that counts
In this section, I want to touch upon two things. One is my biggest criticism of the OP, and the other is one of the biggest pros of the Aqua Terra. Let’s start with the impressive Co-Axial caliber 8800. Compared to the basic (yet admittedly robust) movement used by Rolex, the Swiss made replica Omega caliber is clearly superior in both aesthetics and specs.
As with most modern Omega calibers, the 8800 is put through the stringent METAS certification. This means that the aaa quality fake Omega Seamaster is regulated and controlled not to drop a single second of timekeeping. This narrow margin might seem, well, marginal, but timekeeping performance matters, especially when we’re talking about luxury mechanical watches.
My second point focuses on the Rolex OP’s dial. I find that, whereas the Aqua Terra’s dial and its markers are beautifully designed to have a uniquely appealing look, the Oyster Perpetual falls a bit flat. The markers are blocky and unrefined, and the matte dials are just a bit bland. Sure, there are plenty of colorful choices. There are even black, blue, and silver sunburst options. But for most of the current OP dials, I find that their execution is a bit lackluster. It looks a bit like Lego blocks on an equally plasticky and colorful backdrop. Swiss movement replica Omega employs a bit more subtlety. The colors are more unique and have a slightly more toned-down maturity to them. And the dial furniture is far more impressive. The faceted shark-tooth markers are hard to beat in their interaction with light and shade. They also pair harmoniously with the fantastic AT handset.
The last thing to consider is that you have a reasonable chance of actually buying a high quality fake Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra at your local AD. With the OP, depending on where you live, you might be waiting several months before you get the call. What good is it for the price to be less if you can’t buy the watch? I guess you could always check Chrono24.
One final thing to note is that the Omega Aqua Terra replica for sale is also a choice that would pair well with many aftermarket straps. You could even go with one of the many OEM options, whereas with the Oyster Perpetual, you’re not likely to find a better pairing than the steel bracelet. So, there you have it, folks; for all these reasons, my preference for the top quality replica Omega Aqua Terra remains. Make sure to vote for your favorite below, and as always, may the best watch win!
