Hi there youngster, thank you for your comment. That baby has been my daily watch for sometime. By the way, there's a 34mm and 38.5mm for ladies which were added last year, if I'm not mistaken.

I saw your lovely Oyster Perpetual 31mm in blue dial on the Rolex thread. It's a beautiful watch but is definitely too similar to the Omega Aqua Terra 30mm. I was considering the Oyster Perpetual 31mm but SA told me I would regret getting it, really too similar. 28mm SS/WG would be a nice addition to your collection, if it is offered. [emoji4]

There is a 34mm for sure, black MOP dial, and diamond markers and it's an automatic. I've tried it on and it just felt too big. I don't like to go larger than 33mm.

And, yes, one reason I've held off on the Aqua Terra watch is that my 31mm datejust is quite similar, similar bracelet style and similar smooth bezel and virtually the same size. I am waiting to see if Rolex will make the new 28 mm in SS/WG with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. I expect they will since they have introduced the 18k gold options and the two-tone options for that model so far.

If you are used to the 31mm, do you think 28mm may be small? But definitely better than 26mm. Hopefully that combination will be released in the future.

I think you can forget about the Aqua Terra, definitely too similar, it would be a waste of money.

I have a 28mm Cartier and I love it so I think I would be OK with a 28mm Rolex. I'm going to wait and see if Rolex starts making the 28mm in SS/WG and then see how i feel about it. It probably will be several more months at least so that gives me plenty of time to kick it around mentally. Overall though, I've been drifting back to smaller watches. I just like how they look on my frame and with my jewelry.

Regarding the Aqua Terra that you have, it has a black/dark gray face and diamond markers which is why I have been looking at it. My 31mm Rolex with the oyster bracelet and smooth bezel has a dark blue dial and I tend to wear it with denim and colors that blend with navy. . Sometimes, I need a watch with a black dial and the diamond markers also make it different from my other watches so that's why its been in consideration.

Hmm, since you are looking for a black dial with diamond markers, perhaps consider the new Omega Deville Dewdrop. Pics in the next post.

I like this, I've seen it at my local Omega boutique. It's on the list of possibilities, though it may be a little dressier than I want. The beauty of the Rolex DJ is that it seems to be able to go casual or dressy.

I was going back and forth between the Omega Deville Dewdrop all diamond bezel, Cartier Tank Anglaise and Rolex Datejust 31mm. I love watches with leather strap but due to our tropical weather, it doesn't make sense. Although I don't sell my watches but I made up my mind with better resale value of the Rolex.

When I have the courage to buy preloved watches, I'll go for JLC, Cartier, Chopard. [emoji4]
