I think i will be LV and AW for the next week or so.
Heading out and that’s what I’m taking with me.
Unless I’ll take the YM and the AW

One of my all time favourites! Marvelous piece. What stands out to you about it? Firstly, as soon as I saw the unique font on the dial, it stood out for me. One of the very few vintage reissues that I feel is actually improved over the original. 40mm instead of the original 36, they moved the date to 6 o’clock and unobtrusive as possible. I believe it’s the only Diver 65 with the sides of the bezel coated in black over the stainless steel. And that is true to the original. I also like that it has a solid case back. The crown is large to easily operate, and screw down well without a lot of force, and stays in position throughout the day. Beautiful hand, lollipop seconds hand and bright, glossy dial. And it looks good on a variety of straps, and I especially love the tapered stainless steel rivet bracelet. Of particular note is also the fact that this year, after years of debate about getting a Rolex Sub, I got the Sub and basically just lost interest in it after a few short weeks. I sold it to a good friend, and the very next day picked up this Oris. It is the second time I have had this model, and determined not to make the same mistake of flipping it!  Sorry to ramble on, but you asked!  |
