Watch Talk: getting out of work edition

Helping my sister move from Moorpark to Thousand Oaks right now and decided to sit down and pretend to "need to do something for work".
But really I'll just add some pics of my current everyday wearer that I'm obsessed with, the Oris Divers 65.
Mine is the 42mm version with blue dial. This thing pays tribute to their dive watch from 1965 but with modern flare.
It feels incredibly comfortable on the wrist and absolutely love that I can bang it around without having a heart attack because of it's brushed finish.
The domed Sapphire Crystal really adds a nice touch for me plus depending on the angle will change the dial from blue to black and everywhere in between.
Also not really a religious person, but the clasp sort of looks like a cross, making it hard not to feel blessed and secure when putting it on and taking it off.
I can post more about Oris if anyone cares, but this post kept me from lifting boxes for about 30 minutes and it's time to go.

I love that I am not the only watch nerd here. While you show off your cool watches I will just sit on waiting lists at the local Rolex AD. FML. I must say though, I have my eye on a TT Yachtmaster right now that is actually available....
We can't all have lucrative careers with Orkin and baller fighter pilot war stories to buddy up with the Rolex gods and gain access.
For us regular folk, you gotta find something you can be proud of without destroying the budget or waiting for years to maybe get lucky with an AD.
The way Rolex is right now directly led me to Oris. I really wanted a dive watch for the summer and knowing I wasn't getting a retail submariner anytime soon I set my sites a little lower on their sister brand Tudor for the blue Pelagos, even trying it on in Vegas:
Now this is a stunning watch and technically superior to my Oris in pretty much every way: movement, depth rating(500m!), material(titanium bracelet), luminescence(put your Ray bans on); however at 4500 bucks you're only 3k off a no date sub.
I'm not a Warren Buffet every penny counts type, but for my current situation this would feel like a replacement to the sub preventing the addition of a sub.
Still when I returned to Sac I decided to take a second look because the fit didn't really feel tailored enough in Vegas (too loose bracelet with too pushy sales woman).
The shop here didn't have any Tudors to try, however explaining I was looking for a blue/green summer dive he led me in the direction of Oris.
You know how sometimes we're fortunate enough to hook up with a 8-10 it ends up disappointing because of expectations, but when we stumble upon a 5-7 it surprises into being one of the best fun hookups ever?
Yeah, trying the Divers 65 was like that.
At half the cost of a Pelagos @2300 retail (gray market they are down to like 1500, less if you opt for a strap instead of a bracelet) it checked every box I was looking for in a summer dive.
-Independent Swiss company around over 100 years
-100m depth rating is more than enough for someone who will never be deeper than 10ft.
-Duality(feels like I dipped into the vintage game and robust modern tool watch at the same time)
-Weightless feel and comfort that can be worn without fear.
Look, I love my Rolex and my dick feels bigger when I wear it, but I probably out kicked my coverage on that piece and would be lying if I said I wasn't constantly worried about scratching it on the side of my pants, which is no way to live.
The Rolex can feel foreign on my wrist while the Oris just feels great.
Holy Tequila!
Your Milgaus and this Oris watch are both fantastic.
(That includes non row boat people)
I just got my Kermit Flat 4 back from RSC Dallas on Thursday. It is now immaculate. Like showroom floor immaculate (look at the lug chamfers in the photo below). And it was running fine after 16 years of zero service. So, wear it, scratch it, then get it serviced when needed. These watches are meant to be worn, not fretted over.
Lastly, Oris is a great brand with plenty of horological chops. Never feel you need to justify only spending 2 grand on a watch. It is a beautiful watch and I'd be proud to own it. I know collectors who have 75K Pateks in a box alongside 800 dollar Seikos. Wear what you like.
Lastly, Apple Watches are for Crossfit fags and soccer Moms. Never wear one. Mechanical watch or FUCK OFF. (I am sure like 100 people reading this thread are wearing an Apple watch right now, and they all like cock)
