What watch do you wear?

Nicest bronze watch I have ever seen and what an amazing story behind it. I think if I ever get a bronze it will be the Oris Big Crown which looks equally immense.

I preferred that Christopher ward bronze pro 600 ombre that was posted a few pages ago, i actually went to the local Cward store at Westfield here in NZ to have a look at it, only to find it had closed down

That is nice still but it's no touch on the Oris I'm afraid to my eyes! And bears no story of a remarkable man either.

Plus it has date window, eugh

Not a fan of Bronze, but if that Oris came in other colour options I'd definitely get one (or add it to my ever growing wishlist)

My favourite right now...

Excuse the awful photo...

Keep an eye on that bezel pip. My friend's one popped out somewhere and had to be send into an AD last month.

Hyburnate · 12 Sep 2020 at 17:17

I'll keep an eye on it! 5 Year warranty on it due to when I bought it so I'd hope that's covered!

It's barely been leaving my wrist recently to be fair.

It does

There's a BUCHERER BLUE version, all steel, blue dial and a leather strap (£2950) and there's the non 'special' edition with just a bronze bezel with leather or metal bracelet

If so that's my old watch. I didn't even wear it.

Nope. Another auction.

They're ever so slightly different, I do however love the Carysfort & Staghound so on my wishlist those 2 go

New strap came for my Seiko, much better than the patent leather one before. I definitely still need to buy a watch that isn't as dressy though. As I'm now working from home and all my meetings are via Teams I'm hardly wearing this.

I also got a metal bracelet which I think works but going to keep the brown leather on for now.

This is why I probably should not have a snooze during the afternoon as I am then up most of the night looking at things to buy

Hopefully it's here Saturday.

I’ve been WFH since March and no end in sight yet. I’ve finally succumbed and bought a winder this morning for my Sub. Managed to get a discount on a Wolf single winder. If it works well, I might get another for my Omega.

Did anyone pick up a CW C60 Sapphire? If so, did you like it?

Orifice · 19 Sep 2020 at 15:05

Bit of an impulse buy in town today, slight unsure about the thickness still but I'm sure it'll grow on me.

I was really taken by this watch. I went to my local AD but couldn’t get past the thickness when I tried it on.Nothing wrong with it, just my expectation was off. Lovely watch, enjoy.

That's still in the works!

I'm tempted to buy one just to show you it can be done without anything else in between

Was Apple Watch S5, now Apple Watch S6

Oxygen readings are handy but looking back probably not worth the upgrade.
