Watches - another OCD problem

[Chris]

Styling on the Rolex doesn't really do anything for me, but that's just individual preference; the company makes excellent watches.  The Oris is nice.  The company always seems to slide along without much attention, but they do make a really solid timepiece for a nice price.

EDIT: In the interests of keeping this thread interesting, here's what I'm wearing today:

Chris, wow what is that?

[Chris]

Sturmanskie Yuri Gagarin commemorative edition.  The minute hand in the picture obscures the "1961-2001", indicating the 40th anniversary of Gagarin's being the first human in space.  I like this one a lot; the manual wind chronograph is really cool.  The biggest issue I have with it is that the date doesn't have a quick set capability, which means setting it after I haven't worn it for a while is a major hassle.

Nice clean and legible dial, shame they did not make a bit more effort with the movement.

This one is pretty nice, especially on the bracelet (I own one myself, by the way):

Hamilton also makes a good one:

Those are the only ones I can think of right off the top of my head.  With a bit more time, I may remember a few more.  I've never been a big fan of square/rectangular watches, so I haven't spent as much time researching them.

Hamilton do this one too:

@orlylow:

does this sound too good to be true?

if something does sound too good, hands off! no matter what the seller say, still can be faked, not his picture, stolen, etc, these are easy to resell so why should someone let it go for cheap, if there isn't something wrong about it?

[hectic]

Fuck that, that is sketchy.
