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.

Help in dating a vintage AP royal oak
HelloI have come to acquire an old steel AP royal oak that I have been trying hard to date unsuccessfully. The back of the case simply says No 813 (with no A B or C etc series letter). It has the old vintage full metal folding clasp with the steel inox swiss made embossed on it, and the rare tropical dial that developed over time. However the case is small, around 34 mm with the AP logo at 12 o'clock and not 6, so it is not the first A series jumbo. Any help in dating it and finding out if it is truly a collectible item?I can send pics if it helpsThank you

Hesalite or Sapphire?
HelloI would like to hear some different views on the above please.I'm interested in buying a Speedmaster Professional Moon watch. I know they come in two different versions, one with a Hesalite crystal and one with a Sapphire crystal. I'm told that the Hesalite is easier to scratch, but in the real world, how much is it easier to scratch?I have an older meteorite dial version of the watch and I find it very comfortable and accurate. My wife has a Silver Snoopy version and loves that as well. I think they both have Sapphire crystals.Can I just have some of your views about the two different versions please? Is one recommended over the other etc?Also, what sort of discount could I aim for in the UK?Thanks very much.

nautilus bracelet stretch?
Just got my 5711 a week ago. Just wondering if the bracelet loosens up at all or it is what it is. Wears a smidge tight so planning on ordering a 1.5 link but kind of hesitant since all i really would need is a 1.25 link.

Was thinking about selling, but now....
....I don't know anymore.I haven't worn this one for a month or so now. Been on a Rolex kick again. Popped it back on and I'm like wow again.Crappy phone pic enhanced with online photo editor!.
