I am a very very lucky man. Not only to have Mrs JOMW, but to have the beautiful watch she bought me when we got engaged. Perhaps the value of it has been part of the reason it has taken me a while to settle in with it? Or maybe it was those bloody polished mid links...... Cheers, Jody

Scuffs and scratches are just signs you love it enough to wear it. For me, a watch that sits in a box or safe, because I want to keep it perfect is useless. That is a beautiful watch that will be a lasting symbol of your wife’s love. Cherish it forever!❤️

Jody, I bought my husband’s wedding ring and a watch when we got married. I didn’t have a love of money 25 years ago so I was proud that I had saved up and was able to do that for him. Unfortunately I didn’t know back then much about watch brands. Thanks to folks like you, I can buy him a quality watch. Thanks to you, in particular, I now know quality for the money can come at many different price points. Thank you for great content as always.

Possibly my favourite video of yours Jody. The thing I love most about watch collecting is how the watches interact and intersect with everyday life. Most of the time, they are on the wrist to be enjoyed, but sometimes they become part of a bigger event or are a formative element of something special (as this watch clearly was in your engagement). The special watch in my collection is the eminently more humble but no less loved, Seiko SND255P1 'Flightmaster' Blue Dial bought for me by my wife when I got my PhD. As you mentioned in the video, I think I may start the tradition of the 'Diamond Anniversary Black Bay'. Thanks again Jody - and best to Mrs JOMW.

Omega is my favorite brand as well, My Grandfather's Omega Geneve started this whole obsession for me. watching him wind it every morning on visits was hypnotizing. I bought my own Omega Seamaster Professional 22.54.50.00 after saving for it for 7 years in 2007, and when my grandfather passed away my grandmother gave me his Omega Geneve completing the circle for me.

Jody, I pick up the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra for myself a few years ago, in the midnight blue (date at 3 O’clock) with the polish centre links, but knew that I also wanted to wear the watch on occasion on the blue leather strap. I did a bit of negotiating with the Omega boutique (Oxford Street London) and came away with a fantastic Omega and my “free” XL leather strap. The watch looks nice on the bracelet but I agreed it would look even better with brushed links vice the polished (centre links) but when I put it on the beautiful blue Omega leather strap it looks out of this world. A true keeper and one of the most versatile timepieces I have ever seen or owned (from the seaside, to casual, to a suit and tie, as well as a tuxedo) it is truly a one watch for all occasions.

I bought my James Bond LE Aquaterra in 2015 as a bit of an impulse buy, saw it in the Goldsmiths shop window, walked in , was told it was their only piece, took 10 seconds to decide, yes I wanted it and have not looked back once or regretted it. It’s a keeper in the collection and the pleasure I get every time it goes on wrist is simply delightful.

Snap! I also received my Aqua Terra as an engagement present from my then fiancée (now my wife). We went to the Omega boutique in central London together where I chose the 38.5mm blue "Skyfall" 8500 (ref. 231.10.39.21.03.001), and I have been in love with it ever since. I wore it on my wedding day, despite it having been overtaken by a Rolex Sub 16600 that I picked up at a later date (was my grail watch at the time). Despite having strong competition in the collection (the sub has since been sold and various other models purchased) it's this piece that has cemented its place as a keeper. My version was released just before the polished centre links (which I also dislike) so aesthetically it's perfect in every area. I still think the AT is an underrated watch in lots of ways so it's always good to see it getting some profile. Enjoy yours and thanks for sharing the story :)

Having owned this watch (42mm) for almost ten years I can't help but agree with all your comments - the strap has been the most frustrating part of my relationship - I'm a NATO fan and have a drawer full of options, settling this month for a black leather strap which alternates with velcro on green webbing and a heavy recycled fire-hose strap with brass fittings, which has a thin strip behind the watch hence it all sits flush. As a surveyor, keen cyclist and motorcyclist who occasionally takes the kayak down the river I can't bring myself to wear a traditional bracelet or strap in case one of the pins fails or springs, in which instance the watch would be lost forever! Constantly pondering the Speedy, but since they're not waterproof I have reservations! Great review, glad you like the AT - mine is also a daily wear and has never, not ever let me down!! Best wishes, Daniel, York UK

This was followed by a Speedmaster Moonwatch and finally a 1970's Omega Deville Quartz GP with integral bracelet. Added a Rolex Datejust, Tudor Day-Date and a Corum 'Jolly Roger' Bubble Chronometer 1 of 500 (Birthday present frommy wife). Added a Pagani Design Submariner two tone with blue dial after reading your reviews and finally a Casio Royale. Love the videos, keep up the good work, all the best from the UK

Polished middle links are the reason why I went for the first gen. model. And I did the right thing, the watch is awesome and it serves me as a daily wear/beater, but also for some more formal occasions. And I like the plain black dial, very understated but nevertheless beautiful. So, that's what I suggest to anyone : if you don't like the blingy parts of newer bracelets, just go for the older model, instead of hating or butchering the fine watch.

She had it engraved, and I really don't mind it not working. Its just one of the few watches over the years she bought me. A couple of Fossil watches that still work. I did have to send one in for repairs at the Fossil factory store. Very cool she bought you a great watch. Sounds like a keeper.

They not only changed a bunch of parts (barrels, spring, crown, handset and other things I can't identify) but they also polished out a deep scratch on the lug. Now it runs perfectly and since it was all under warranty, there was no cost to me. I'd advise you get yours back to Omega asap.

This is already a tradition in Turkey. Usually bride's father (or family) buys a good quality watch. It depends on economic power of the family, of course. My father in law bought me Longines Master Collection 44mm;which is heavy but lovely watch

Yes! I got an engagement watch too, 3 and a half years ago. I've been trying to get others on board too.

What a wonderful story, thanks for sharing, it shows how much the hobby gets into our lives it’s not about buying and keeping in a box in the safe. Like you my watches show the use and that shows how much I love them. Thanks again, brilliant piece.

I've just joined the Omega Club after buying the 41mm Aqua Terra for my 50th birthday and I love it! In the AD I had this lined up with the Speedmaster Moon Watch and a Tudor Black Bay Red Bezel. I so made the right decision! 41mm has 20mm lug width so I can easily change straps so you don't scratch up those polished mid-links!! Mine is the 8900 movement and is currently running pretty much at -1 second per day. It's my first serious Swiss watch (I don't really count my Tag F1!) and like yours, it's definitely a keeper!

Great idea to get the bracelet refinished. Going to do the same with my Sinn 104iw...

My wife gave me a Stowa Klassik Flieger watch, with an engraved rotor as a wedding gift. Love it!

The engagement watch might be more common than you think. My father received one from my mother. My 2 uncles received them from their wives. Now this was in Pakistan and here I am in Canada now. I explained the “tradition” to my fiancé at the time and while she was skeptical, on the day a year after the engagement...she did “propose” to me with a watch as well. Now I’ve spread the watch bug to my brothers-in-law and I’m very happy to see the tradition spreading a bit and one of them recently got engaged and has a Seiko cocktail from his fiancé :)

I love your videos and reviews…I appreciate your enthusiasm and I like that you review cheap watches. I like $100 and $200 watches! Keep up the good work!

I actually casually let your video about Aqua Terra run on the lap top, and said, this is nice thing. Jody has very romanthing thing going on. He gave her timeless rock on a ring, and she gave him a piece of time on a braceled for engagement. Just casually, you know. No secret context, or anything. Soone enough, I presented the timeless rock to my gf, and there it was, a nice piece of time for me :)

You and I went on a similar path except I bought her a vintage platinum estate piece engagement ring then, got her wedding set and a Tudor BB41 for my wedding watch. Every scratch is a memory, wear on my friend!

Thank you for sharing mate. Beautiful story, complete with a couple of "chicanes", & a beautiful watch.... However, you've placed me in a dilemma - I inherited some money from my mum and want to treat myself to a nice watch as I'm 50 in September & had it down to to two (like yourself, it had to be Omega) the sm300 (the '57 looking one) or a new blue smp (ceramic wavy dial)... So I've just got back (literally) from a 60 mile round trip to nearest AD- on my bike (Royal Enfield GT cafe racer) to check them out. Was all about the wavy blue dial, nothing came close... Until I spotted the AT.. Trying to put it out of my mind all the ride home, only to find you've posted this 😅👍🏻 Cheers mate.
