I have incoming!

Post by missF »

Just recently i’ve been thinking about how my watch collection could have taken a different direction if, instead of the LLD, I had bought another watch I greatly admire. But I couldn’t afford both, so that’s where I left it.
Then, today, up popped said watch in sales corner, and it took me about a second and a half to decide to buy!
The photos of this stunning watch are stunning, and to say that i’m over the moon is an understatement.
I look forward to posting a wrist shot in a few days

Am I thinking Cathedral hands? Gold bezel? Date Pointer?

My immediate thought too.

Couldn't go to a finer and more deserving buyer.

Top notch, Lindsey.

Fantastic pick up Lindsey. They are just gorgeous looking watches and that is a steal of a price. I keep feeling I should have bought that myself.
That version with the rose gold bezel is a stunner as well.
Enjoy it (I know you will :thumbup: )
Cheers now, Paul

Any chance we could dispense with the crypticness on this so others might benefit from this apparent bargain? :)

Gannet's right - I bought Ryan (StrappedUp)'s Oris Big Crown Pointer Date from Sales Corner, so it's a one-time deal :thumbup:

Yes, it sounded like one of those but it's nice to know for sure.

Wow just taken a look. What a bargain! I've got an all silver one.
Why Oris stopped manufacturing these unique, intricate and beautiful watches is beyond me.Where are the raised indices and the guilloche dial on the new versions? The printed flat dial makes them cheaper looking and pretty insipid in my view and all the colours they do are a bit gimmicky. Even the 'modern' date pointer design is a bit naff.The originals ooze class and the modern ones are a real disappointment. I really hope they start making them again as I'm after a black one!

congratulations!

I saw that and if I hadn't just bought one of the 'boring' new versions I'd have been interested myself.
