Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date Review
2014 was a big year for Oris. First they unveiled their mighty in-house 10-day caliber, showing that they were going to start to focus more on manufacturing movements in the coming years, an exciting development. Then, shortly after, at Basel they revealed a new line, the Big Crown ProPilots. Of what we saw in Basel last year, these watches were amongst our favorites.

116660 vs 16600
I was told by someone that the 16600 is actually more top heavy and floppy on the wrist then the Deep Sea...???Any one who has owned both please enlighten me...

It's arrived! Daytona 116509 black dial!
My grail watch has landed!!! Sorry to be so excited about it but it's my most expensive watch yet and for it is so special!I wanted a chronograph to go into my collection and I got a Tudor Fast rider Blackshield but the moment I got it I regretted it. That started a thought process in my mind, I ended up giving up my 116622 blue along with the fastrider (plus cash) and ended up with imo one of the top if not the top chronograph watch!Sorry about the crap quality photo!
