Watches - another OCD problem
-
Sorry guys forgot to add any narrative to the rather crappy photo.
Out of the two I sort of prefer the Oris BC3, which is my every day watch, it's got a bit of weight and can take a thrashing, but isn't the best timekeeper.
I bought the Rolex a few years ago when everyone was wearing them, with hindsight I should have got something a bit more individual. Having been through this thread there are some great watches that I've never come across before. So I wish I had been on the Forum before getting the Rolex. -
That Rolex is beautiful Alcatraz, one day I hope to pick up one very similar.

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:
-
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 is nice IMO Finnn:

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

http://www.jomashop.com/hamilton-jazzmaster-watch-h36415155.htmlThose 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.
