Introducing the Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition
The Oris Divers Sixty-Five was one of our favorite watches of last year. Many across the watch world fell in love with its unabashed old-school mentality with modern-day quality, myself included. It's a piece that seems to be destined for collectible status in the future. Now, for 2016, Oris appears to have made an instant classic even more impressive with the stunning Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition.This isn't Oris' first foray into releasing special editions based on important historical figures, as we've previously covered their John Coltrane Limited Edition, but continues that piece's trend of relatively simple yet breathtaking design. It's also based on another worthy individual in Carl Brashear, the first African-American Master Diver in the U.S. Navy, as well as its first amputee diver.

Speedmaster Date (3210.50) inbound . . .
Well, I ended up with two Railmasters (36.2mm and 39.2mm). I thought about keeping both, but after trading PMs with another TRF member with a smaller wrist, I decided to sell him my lovely 36.2mm Railmaster. Well, not wanting my little growing collection to shrink, I decided to take a hard look at Speedmasters. After holding both a black and white version in my hand at the local AD, I decided on the Speedmaster Date with black dial (3210.50). So, since I wanted a bigger discount than that offered by my local AD and also wanted to save sales tax, I called my out-of-state AD and one is now on its way. It'll be here tomorrow. I will post photos of it's arrival . . .
