Fantastic collection Patrick
Great to read the stories/comments relating to each watch

Thanks to you both for your advice. I’ve been having a hunt around online and I’ve come across the following: https://www.watch-band-center.com/shop2/index.php?user=watchstrap&proid=37476&hkat=829&skat=832&cwaehr=GBP Would this be suitable for the watch? And what spring bars would I need? Thanks Th...

Just caught up with the thread and....
that's not what I was expecting at all!
Infact, that's quite left of centre in looks to the other offerings with the dial and raised numerals plus colour combo.

Stunning watch mind - congratulations and above all enjoy

Looks like the Militex is not happening. Email from campaign stating it will be pulled if no big take up over the weekend. A couple have already cancelled pledges, so that’s not helping. Yeah got the same message.... I did a bit of a check and this failed the first time round as well (back in Decem...

Nice one Paul
...looking forward to seeing what you've bought and the pictures.

The young French ladies who measured me for my strap were very helpful.

Ou la la!
...be worth a trip just for that

I agree that the fit leaves a lot to be desired, however, I do like the look :thumbup: ...and it's a lovely watch. Personally, I would consider a couple of options from WatchGecko: 1. The Classic Warrington ( https://www.watchgecko.com/classic-warrington-push-button-stainless-steel-watch-strap ) wit...

^^^^ I like that Breitling :thumbup: ...and I don't have a Breitling in the collection mainly because I find them too busy but that's nice. I also prefer just the date version of the Oris. It's the standard Canvas/leather backed Oris strap with clasp - very comfortable. It's a lovely grey dial albei...

Thanks for all the well wishes :thumbup: Thread resurrection/rolling thread :D I guess I've been around long enough to do that - is it really over 3 years already albeit still feel like a newbie here at times and certainly compared to a few other forumites! I didn't have a grey dial watch in the col...

A present to myself:

to a watch that I have owned before, sold and regretted.
Missed it!...so got another one and very pleased I am too ORIS Big Crown Pro Pilot Date (Grey dial) on the grey canvas/leather strap.

The Lorier and Maen are lovely. If either were larger, I’d have plumped for either. If I had to pick one, it would be the Maen. ^^^^ Totally agree...which is why I like the MTX Duxford Also for what you're getting for the price none of the others, imo, come close. EDIT: I was down for the Maen in t...

Still think I am heading down the rolex op 36 route as it stands

FWIW...
Go for the OP 36 Paul
I'm sure you'll be very happy with it and, dare I say it, a keeper.

I like that (but I do like a panda dial scheme).. It almost has elements of damasko, sinn and even a bit of speedy. Or is that just me..? 🙄🙂 No - not just you...I'd say very Speedy-like but at a fraction of the cost. The spec of the watch does look good, VK67, 316L, Ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal,...

..and I think I may have found one:
