Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Watch
Oris is pretty well known to me as a maker of workhorse watches with all sorts of sporty themes. Maybe it is racing, or diving, or aviation - Oris has a handsome watch for the job. Less people know their retro styled watches. One such example is the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date watch. It has a terrible name (no effort there!), but totally falls into the category of what I call "the dad watch." Yea, that looks like something everyone's "dad" used to wear. It has that sense of classic no-nonsense functionality that seems to remind you of steady good taste for uncontroversial times in the past. This is for people whose father were not sports or action heroes but regular guys who wanted something nice, but "reasonable."The Big Crown Pointer Date watches come in a few styles and even in a smaller version for the ladies ("mom watch" anyone?).

It's Been A Long Weekend......
Have a cool watch incoming which was to be on my wrist on Friday but didn't end leaving till Sat...very frustrating but it's on it's way now, so exciting times are ahead. On another note are any of you guys going to the watch & jewelry show in downtown Brooklyn on Monday/Tuesday. Let me know if you'd like to meet up at the great smorgasbord of watches. 🍻

Dilemma. Help!
Hello guys,I am looking to make a purchase but couldn't actually decide which way to go for. I got my 5550p as my first Patek a few months ago and now looking to add a second one.So my question is ;5960p + Richard Mille RM 30 Black Out vs 5270GThe cost of both scenarios will be really close to me. I really thought about 5270G before purchasing my 5550p but went with 5550p since it was a 300 limited version. But I still have my mind at 5270G. But I also want a blue dial watch (not necessarily a Patek) and a Richard Mille in my collection.And one more question, I was wondering if 5270G will be replaced any time soon or is expected to lose any value? I'd not want the value to decrease sharply after 1-2 years of my purchase.What do you guys say?Thank you!Salih

Next on the list - demand is being met.
Since November I've went from 9th to next which surely indicates demand is being met for SS sports models.Hopefully next month I'll have my very first Incoming Thread!Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Chromalight on T 25 Dial
Has anyone serviced their tritium dial Rolex and come back with new Chromalight lume?I know many are opposed to this as they prefer the patina look. Just curious to see if it's been done. I for one wouldn't mind picking up an older 16570 polar ( either Swiss Made or Swiss T<25) but would like to at least see it in the dark if it was a tritium dial.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
