Looking for first luxury watch: Aqua Terra, Santos, or Snowflake?
So I've been into watches for about 2 years now and currently my collection consists of pieces on the more affordable end e.g. Tissot, Citizen, Orient...

It's funny you mention the railmaster, I actually really like that model and thought it looked great in photos online, but I tried one on at the Omega AD and just didn't really connect with it. I think the all brushed everything on the watch just made it feel flat compared to the aqua terra. I still have a lot of respect for it and may pick one up at some point (especially with the discounts you can get on them)

Thanks so much for your input! Glad to hear the AT is running a little better for you now. Do you ever feel like the grey/chrome dial on the AT is too flashy, or does it affect legibility in bright light? That's my main concern with it. I love the dial and case shape of the AT but the only color way that really speaks to me is the grey/blue.

That was my concern with the Santos large as well, the proportions just look off compared to the medium size. How's the bracelet comfort on your wrist?

Appreciate the input! The snowflake and AT were both pretty comfortable, especially the rubber strap on the AT. Honestly I was a little underwhelmed with the Snowflake when I saw it in person after seeing so many pics and videos online, it was almost too subtle. So I'm leaning towards the AT at the moment. I do love the style of the Santos though and would love to see one in person just to know what I'm missing. I wish Cartier had more ADs close to me!

Appreciate the input! What makes you lean that way just out of curiosity?
