Oris Big Crown X1 Calculator Watch
Usually Oris "Big Crown" watches are rather retro. This one isn't as retro visually and feels like something a helicopter pilot would have worn during the Vietnam era, or even today. Though none of that is what the watch is based on - at least through name. Oris opted to dedicate this new watch to the famous Bell X-1 range of planes that were designed and flown simply to go fast.First flown in what I believe was the late 1940s, the X-1 was basically a flying bullet powered by a rocket engine. It was also the first plane to break the sound barrier and had a top speed of about Mach 1.1. They look a bit ahead of their time, like fighter planes from a 1960s era sci-fi flick. Especially because many of them were painted orange. Aside from feeling like something that would be at home in the cockpit of an X-1 plane, the only real nod to the X-1 are the "X" and "1" character done in relief on the chronograph pushers.Like any aspiring pilot's chronograph watch, the Oris Big Crown X-1 Calculator

This might be my next Patek dream watch. My second Patek watch is incoming next week. But oh boy aren't this watch gorgeous? Some photos from internet.Any TRF members owned this watch yet? Wrist shots please.

Nautilus vs Sub
I just recieved a PM requesting whether the 5711 possibly wore larger than a 116618 considering the fixed lugs on the Nautilus might be longer.They requested some wrist shots to determine the difference.The Nautilus actually wears a lot smaller than your 116618. I have a 16610LV and if anything the lugs are just a bit longer on the Sub than the Nautilus.The big difference however will be in the thickness of the watch. The 5711 is extremely thin when comparted to the 16610, and it will be even more so when compared to your 116618. The movement on the 5711 is only 3.3 mm thick and the case reflects this.So much so, that one should really check it out in person. I would consider the 5711 to be a very elegant sports watch, that may or may not appeal to some people. Most Patek ADs will have some form of Nautilus on hand, unfortunately not all will have a 5711 on hand. The case diameter and lug size will be the same for all versions, however the major diffference between the 5711 and other
