Oris Air Racing Limited Edition III Watch For Reno
If you recognize this new limited edition Oris watch as familiar, that is because it is. The new Air Racing Edition III watch is based on the very popular Oris BC3 watch collection - a handsome tool-style watch with a high level of refinement and under-the-radar-personality. It is an easy favorite of ours when we want something legit, but not complicated to look at or think about when reading the time.

Over the summer, I wrote aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer's?? "300 articles published" announcement. That seemed like a big number at the time. Pretty soon I will lose count, but here is a way for you
