Nice! Is that the SBGA109?

I'm thinking of getting the SBGA111. You probably already know that it's the cheaper version of SBGA109, in SS with a closed case back. It seems to be great value for its price which is at the top end of my budget. Is the closed case back a reason to avoid this otherwise exquisite watch? I like staring at my mechanical watch movement when I am bored or thinking, but I can probably stare at the smooth sweeping second hand instead. :s13:

I'm also looking at alternatives in the price range such as a (maybe pre-owned) Omega Aqua Terra 8500. Besides the style and size, the main draw is the co-axial 8500 that's said to be more accurate and less prone to magnetism. Is this watch a good buy? I get very annoyed when my ETA 2824-2 (and derivatives) powered watches get magnetized and run fast, while my el-cheapo quartz watch are unaffected. I'm in the engineering line so it's hard to avoid magnetism. :s22:
