Quick question for Rotty and our resident Omega experts.
I've been pondering a new quality watch for some time and was leaning towards IWC. I typically prefer a watch to have quality and workmanship but also be a little understated and I'd not considered Omega until stumbling across the Seamaster Aqua Terra - Model 231.10.42.21.06.001

I must admit, I'm sore tempted, to the point of having tried it on, but before investing an awful lot of money I stepped away from the till and here I am looking for a little advice.
Is there anything I should look for, any thoughts or comments on the watch (lets just assume I like the look, weight and size of it etc
). Apparently service is every 8 - 10 years and it comes with a 2 year world wide warranty.
I just don't know enough about Omega watches to know how this model stacks up. I'm not buying it as an investment, I'd buy it because I like it. On the other hand I'd hate to buy it only to find out later it's one of their most unpopular models because the movement is comparatively poor and it's value is closer to £1000 (for example).
I guess I just don't know what I don't know.
Help!?!?!![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/smile.gif)
