I really like this piece as well. I've discovered something within myself and that's that I don't like arabic numerals at 3 6 9 & 12. If I could get over that I'd buy this one. I can take them or leave them :-)

I have no problem with 3-6-9-12 but I can't do a watch with 12 Arabics. Romans not a problem. I could do 12 arabics. Someone buy me a rose gold aquanaut.

Saw this video today and thought I would attach the link, a 3 piece collection for under $5000, and look what watch is in it

Great choices! Omega, Nomos and Oris - very balanced collection. If he could have replaced the Nomos with a dressy GMT option, It's be even more balanced IMHO with a GMT, diver and Chrono.

Carl, I wore mine for our 2 week holiday. Such a great watch, very comfy on the wrist. Love everything about it Glad you had a good holiday, and great success with the Oris. I must say, there is absolutely nothing about this watch that I don't like, or that I would change. I think you said that you were waiting on a beige textile strap? Well, I have been looking at various straps, and even the steel bracelet, but just can't come up with anything I like better. Until I see something that really strikes my fancy, I don't want to get a strap or bracelet just for the sake of having a change. I see that they now also make the textile strap in black.

Yeah I'm still looking at getting the textile strap, but not had chance to order it yet. Think I'll go for the beige strap, as the rubber is black

Great write up on a beautiful piece Carl. I really like the vintage vibe and that dome is awesome! Congrats!

As you guys can see from my photos, I am really loving this watch more each day. While I am also very fond of the fabric strap that mine came with, I have been looking for a leather strap almost since I got the watch. I finally came across this model in olive green horween leather on Worn & Wound website. I think it will compliment the watch beautifully. I can't really use the Oris buckle, as the holes on this one are larger, but I think the matte finish buckle than comes with the strap is ideal anyway: Looking forward to receiving the strap, and will post pics then. Cheers, Carl

That's a nice combo, olive with brown keeper. I can't wait to see it on the watch.

This is not my watch. Borrowed the pic from a member at WUS. I can see that at some point I will have to get the steel bracelet as well. Oris has done such a beautiful job, especially with the taper, to really make it look vintage. It tapers from 20mm down to 16mm at the clasp.

carl Wow, that riveted bracelet adds even more character to this piece. It'll totally be worth getting at some point down the road!
