That's cool Johnny. Love the copper.
How old is it? Looks circa 1990s.

Re: Non CW of the Day
Thanks Guy, bought around 2001 I think at their discount store in Orlando.
I have another in a slightly different style in blue. The bracelet is high shine and very heavy, some of their watches are weird and not to
everyone's taste. They stopped making watches a couple of years ago.
Batteries can be a problem, not because they don't last long but no high street jeweller will touch them, thankfully I am lucky there is a chap at a nearby market who Is just brilliant and never has a problem with them, he only charges a couple of quid - always give him a tip as he has been so helpful to me over the years, keep telling him not to retire if he wasn't there I don't know what I would do!
He is really good.

It developed a minor fault back in March and I decided to wait for my independent watchmaker to get his full accreditation for Omega coaxial movements before giving it to him to repair and service. However, Omega messed him around for so long that by mid July I decided to send it off to Omega themselves. I did this via a local AD who then sat on it (not literally!) unnecessarily for a couple of weeks, hence I only got it back yesterday. But at least it's back now, working perfectly and looking like new, so I'm happy! It's good to have it back.

Nothing as cool as an Aqua Terra in my eyes.

I've been hot on vintage inspired drivers chronographs lately, this is my first Hamilton, I think it's a keeper.

Re: Non CW of the Day
I agree that does look great and the Aqua Terra is a model I'm taking more of an interest in recently as a potential next steel sports watch (that is not a diver/bezel-less)MiniMpi wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 4:29 pmJust Fabulous Stevewelshlad wrote: ↑Tue Oct 02, 2018 10:18 pm I have been wearing this beauty for the first time in over 6 months today.

Thanks Paul. Very understated, quite casual, but a peach.
