Dive,Dive,Dive!

Post by village »

As some of you may have gathered i recently turned 40 :( ...i decided to get a watch (of course).
I did think about a classic dress type watch but i hardly ever wear them so it seemed a bit pointless. In the end i decided to get the sort of watch i tend to wear most...and i've been thinking about this particular one for a while.
So..here we have an Oris small seconds diver.

47mm (although it doesn't wear that big) and 250g (yes,it's heavy)
A sapphire domed crystal with anti-reflective coating inside and helium valve.
Powered by Oris 243 calibre based on ETA 2836-2 mvt
Have to say it wears really nicely...very pleased with it indeed. I have tried (poorly) to show some of the lume but i've seen better pictures.

Really nice looking watch. The colour combo looks really smart. Starting to regret not ordering Orange Trident now. Oh well, maybe the Forum LE will show the futures bright!

Really nice! I definitely have an Oris itch (ooh err!) that will have to be scratched one of these days.

Congrats Andy, and well done on the 40 milestone. :)

It's sad to think that your lovely new watch is now likely to last longer than you !

welcome to the "40 up" club

I like the "wave effect" on the dial

you will have to show it off when we next have a beer......along with your "I'm 40 badge" :lol:

SNAP!!

Andy, I have exactly this watch, oh, hang on, didn't you see it at the GTG?

So, can I paint a watch on the side of the old crate ? :D

Cracking watch village

I wouldn't mind one of those myself.

Congrats on hitting the big Four O. Let me see that takes me back to 1993. Guess I must be getting really old.

Best wishes
