      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 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.
