That old B1 is my favorite in my collection!
Thank you sir. I sometimes dream of a Breitling Chronomat. But I wake up to a Timex budget, so you learn to compromise.
OOH! USPS FINALLY updated the tracking on my Citizen Blue Angel! It showed the departure scan from LA for 60 hours before showing the arrival in Atlanta. Should reach me tomorrow, hopefully.
I love that Oris Auto and the Tag AquaracerThank you sir. I sometimes dream of a Breitling Chronomat. But I wake up to a Timex budget, so you learn to compromise.
Danke Mein Herr.
If a Breitling owner likes what I have it makes my day. I think most folks will consider Rolex as king of the realm(Who counts Patek that isn't rubbing elbows with The Donald?),but, for me, Breitling is the real goal.
I had kept the Tag in the safe for over a year, only wearing it four or five times. Until my heart attack. I realized I wasn't enjoying the things I was leaving for my widow to sell. LOL. I think the only drawback of the Tag(and it's really not it, it's me) is that it is a conservative piece. It seems small compared to most of my other watches. Really, though I think it's just trying it's best to class me up a little.
The Oris took me by surprise. I got it for such a great price I keep looking over my shoulder for the law. LOL. And , MAN is it smooth! It has such a cool tint to the lumen that I forget that I was looking at it for the time when I check my wrist in the dark. And after wearing it in the day or a lit room, the lumen glows longer on it than any of my other watches. As with most, if not all, automatics you can of course hand wind it. I have automatics from Jeanrichard, Aragon, Invicta and had a Bulova open heart Automatic. This Oris is actually fun to wind. It has a subtle, fine ratchet to the back roll of the crown and a firmer slightly deeper tone to the wind stroke. When I wind it, I hold it to my ear and listen. It's reminds me of the inhale/exhale of a cat purring.
The back of the Oris:
I used to have that Aquaracer. One of my first TAGs. I've always liked Oris, just never seen one in person. As far as Rolex, I am not a fan. Great quality and resale, but most look like old 1980s watches. They are just not good looking. Way overpriced. For me Tag Heuer and Breitling hands down.
Well, I'll be drooling on Breitling pictures for a long time before anyone ever lets me actually hold one. But I'm very glad to own a Tag. I like my Jeanrichard as well but I feel a bit dumb for selling my Maurice Lacroix. Of the two the Lacroix was more fun.
As for handling an Oris, well I looked at your location. Whut ya doin WAAAY down there? I'll be driving by you on the way to Miami in APRIL. LOL. Maybe I'll remember to wear it and can stop off.
I actually LIKE the old diver style watch design. I have these four(all automatics):
Android
Aragon Virtuoso Titanium 8040N I love this Swiss Ronda 8040N movement.
Aragon(Wing Liang changed the Android brand name to Aragon) 9100 Diver in 50MM
and Aragon Divemaster also 50 MM.
