Oris Divers Date Watch - Solid Choice
You know what Oris makes a lot of? Diver's watches. The brand just makes a ton of these things. So many models, lots of weird iterations on the theme, after a while I just sort of stopped paying attention to their new models. I mean they came out with a regulator style diving watch. Why? I mean you really need to like regulator watches to be into one of those. There are small seconds, GMTs, all sorts of chronographs, and just a number of other interesting models. In my mind, no one else has as big a variety of mechanical diving watches as Oris. So sifting through all of them I wanted to look for the basic diver that they made that was good ol' dive watch goodness. I came up with the simply named Oris Divers Date watch.Oris watches are sometimes hit and miss for me. This one I really like though. It is really a tool that is OK to wear for any occasion. The Divers Date (I am not sure why there is no apostrophe in "divers") has a great looking curvy case that is 44mm wide in steel. Actual

Found a PO Liquidmetal for sale, one issue is stopping me from pulling the trigger...
Had a opportunity to purchase a brand new PO Liquidmetal. I was ready to pull the trigger until something caught my eye..A lint or speck of dust caught my eye on on of the markers, on a closer examination with a help of loupe (Yes, I brought one along). It is a tiny dent on the edge of the 10'o clock marker. My heart just sank...I asked the sales person to inspect my findings, he agreed with me on the imperfection. At this point, he was trying to use the sale tactics on rarity of the PO LM and assured me it can be rectified with the service centre. NO DISCOUNT even with me pointing out the QC problem.He also mentioned that ceramic dial must need to be replaced or it could be just the marker. He cannot be 100% sure.Should I pull the trigger (purchase and get it fixed) or pass on this?

Trade 116680 & BP/FF For PP 5711/1a
I'm at a crossroad fellas...I have an opportunity to receive my holy grail watch of all times but just don't know if I can take the plunge! My 116680 is absolutely mint and the same for my S/S Blancpain Fifty Fathoms but so is the blue face Patek. I have been collecting Swiss timepieces for almost 25 years and after all this time I still have not had the chance to acquire a PP until now. Any thoughts would surly be grateful on my behalf

Patek Nautilus choices - 5726a or 5980?
Currently being offered a great trade in price for a used 5980 blue dial for my 5726. I really like the bracelet on the 5980 but feel that the AC complication is more useful on the 5726. That said, you can't really find 5980s out there anymore so want to throw this up to see what the forum thinks?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417409267.709259.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1417409303.811754.jpg
