Oris Begins In-House Watch Movement Production With The Calibre 110
Oris is one our of favorite Swiss watch brands when it comes to offering a durable, useful design in a relatively affordable package. We especially like their sport watches including racing chronographs and of course divers. Until now most people know Oris as a company that sources movements from other Swiss companies to put into their watches. There is nothing wrong with that, but for 2014 Oris�Clike many others these days�Cis beginning to produce watches with their own movements, starting with the Calibre 110.To be fair, this isn't the first movement Oris has produced, though it is the first under the current ownership and modern era of the brand. Oris as a brand was formed in 1904 and from then until 1981 is said to have produced a total of 229 in-house made movement types. In 1982, Oris stopped making full movements but kept on making modules that would got over other movements. In recent years all base movements have been Swiss ETA or Sellita. For 2014 Oris returns to a fully in-ho

visited NY boutique today
have been eyeing the 15450 in YG for some time now.thought it'd be too small at 37mm, relative to the jumbo.but dammit if it doesn't wear oh so nicely.have a day-date president in YG (36mm), and the 15450 feels so much more substantial on wrist. having the DD has gotten me accustomed to enjoying sub-39mm sizes.but the heft and case lugs make the 15450 wear larger than 37.unsure if having 2 YG full bracelet watches is just too much.the DD is a perennial classic, understated and gentlemanly.whilst the 15450 is pure stunning... but the size allows it to be such without having to scream outloud for attention... which, IMO, might be the case if 40mm (given my wrist isn't particularly large at 7).as nice as the OR with grey dial is, the YG with blue is the clear winner for me.

Pawn Stars AP
I was watching Pawn Stars last night and Corey was wearing the new 44mm ROO chrono in SS with the ceramic bezel white dial. Man I love that watch. I put a down payment on one a week ago. This next month or two is going to be a killer waiting to get it. Did anyone else see it?

Made a mistake...
I have been looking for a co-axial SMP bond for a while now, and yesterday I came across one for sale here in the classified. Looked great, and the seller had plenty of rep, so I impulsively bought it. Once paid for and shipped, I was doing a little surfing, trying to source a speedmaster style bracelet for it (which i prefer to the bond bracelet), when realized that I just bought a mid-sized watch, which I imagine will look silly on my ape-like 7 3/4 wrists. So now I'm stuck with a useless watch. I don't really have much else to say, other then i want to smash my head against a wall for being an impulsive idiot, and not checking the model number before I paid for something. Sigh.And I'm sure I won't learn from this...

Datejust indecision...
I have owned several, perhaps should have held onto one of 'em, but thinking about getting a new, 36mm. Not sure though how I feel about the new bling they have. Is it an everyday watch? Or is it now kind of dressy with all that polish? I had some nice two tones but felt they were kind of dressy. So I think stainless is best for me. I saw this one on a post out here and it gassed me! And I know where to get one. These pictures are so much better than what I have seen in ads and catalogs. Curious as to what this dial is called. And I dig the plain bezel, never owned one. The fluted just seems too shiny to me these days. And please, don't get me wrong or take offense, I know they are all cool, great watches. And my taste changes all the time! Feel free to chime in!
