Tough choice!!!

My AD who I have a good relationship is offering me these 2 at pretty much the same price!

It’s a tough choice because I like them both and can see myself having them.

I can’t get both!🤪

Also thinking about my collection and how it would sit with the rest of my collection.

They just got the AT in and apparently it’s a new release. It’s a 38mm green teak dial on green rubber.

The PO is the summer blue edition.

Any thoughts?

AT is very versitle!

These are quite different watches. The PO is more of a sports/diver/tool watch. The AT is more versatile overall. I’m not sure I would call it dressy, but it’s more professional and refined looking. I think it depends on what you are going for.

My thoughts exactly. My collection don’t really have a high end sports/diver.

I have a few versatile ones already but the AT is “more versatile”

I am a big dive watch fan, and I even wear them in dressier occasions. I have an Omega Seamaster 300m and a Tudor Pelagos, as well as a couple cheaper ones. The Omega is a much shinier/flashier watch, and looks more professional. It can be worn with almost anything. Not sure if the PO is like that or not. The Tudor is full on tool watch. It’s dull titanium finish, chunkier, and has a matte dial and bezel. Not flashy at all. That one is more for sport/casual use.

Both are great watches. Bear in mind, if you are being offered either at the same price, the PO line tends to be significantly more expensive than the AT line. If you truly want both eventually I’d take the PO because of the steep discount, and save up for the AT.

According to my ad the Summer blue PO is not easily available here in Canada not rare but not common, in fact he was reserving the one model for a very wealthy customer who spends fantastic amounts whenever he visits the boutique. I own several Omega watches already but never picked the PO during my past several buys, did not like the feel and look of the 39mm Summer iteration will focus on the regular 43.5 PO if and when i add one to my rotation. As one member has already commented the PO might be the astute choice if you like both watches equally and do not intend to buy both at the same time. I believe the PO retails higher than the AT.

Either is a fantastic choice.

I've got an old Aqua Terra and the SM300 heritage & the AT was my most worn watch last year, tho my Seamaster is my Grail. Had them both for 3 years.

I'd go PO, because it's more unique and at the same price is better value. The AT is an incredible watch tho.

Tough choice, good luck - you can't go wrong 💪🏻😍

Aqua Terra 38mm with green dial is darn near the perfect Omega watch IMO.

Looking at your (very nice) collection, it is a very difficult decision.. both would make sense. So the question is really more about you and your lifestyle.

The AT would make sense if it's likely to be a frequently worn as a daily workhorse. I don't think it stacks up to your JLC or GS as a dress watch. But if you like it for it's certified GADA skills, I could see it spending a lot of time on your wrist.

The PO is a serious dive watch. But they can be a bit ungainly for just regular wear (though your wrist can pull it off for sure). I think it's a great watch, especially for the price... but it's definitely going to be less wearable than the AT. I'd only get the PO if you are a salty sea dog, diving, swimming, fishing..

If I had to make the call, based on your collection: Since you've got dressier watches, I imagine you're less of a salty sea dog, and more of a gent needing a GADA. So I'd go for the AT. And maybe switch out the seikos for a Tudor diver if you really wanted something higher end to swim in.
