    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.

    You’re Asian? Or a chick?
    Half Puerto Rican. 23 and me shows a lot of Mediterranean blood. There are the hairy types and the tan types. I'm the latter.
    So you’re gay. Got it.
    I look white but have rhythm, so yes.

    No - Rolex and other nice mechanical watches watches are pretty much the opposite of gay.

    I dunno. I suppose any mechanical watch with Swiss movement is “nice”.

    All of these are mechanical watches but only 3 have a Swiss movements. Of those three, only one is a Swiss brand and the other two are German. So do I have one nice watch or three? Or zero is also an option...FML.

    Regardless, the entire collection retails for less than one Rolex.

    There are several nice watches in there I’d say.

    some nice watches in everyone's collections - but not enough numbers or numbers that just don't make sense if you are trying to tell time. But do remember, I am not good at my o'clocks and should go digital. but I won't

    Thots in no particular order...do not sleep on ze Germans. Glashutte is the second Geneva in Haute Horology circles. Ball has a ton of fans! I like a good deal of your straps. That's the hot thing now is to throw on vintage looking leather straps or NATO. I have not done that, because I think anything that isn't an Explorer on NATO in the Rolex line looks stupid. I did purchase a really nice modern looking leather strap, from of all places Germany, for my Explorer II Polar, but have not put it on yet. I am such a bracelet slut. What's the watch in the upper right hand? I like the dial. Very cool.

    So, you said you were saving for a Rolex one day. Which will it be?

    The watch in the upper right hand is a 40mm Stowa type-B, hand wound, no date; found here: https://www.stowa.de/en/Flieger+Classic+40+Baumuster+B.htm

    The strap is a leather faux-ammo strap I had made by Nero Straps.
