Turtle # 6 incoming.

What are your criteria for counting turtles? SRPXXX models only, or inclusive of originals? I've got a herd, and this one is tempting me too.

Are there any modern super compressor watches? This thread has me scouring google for a proper compressor cased watch but all I can find is vintage Dan at OWC makes a supercompressor case. He was posting here a while back. He describes his models as "in spirit of" classic designs. Decide for yourse...

Even though I browse exclusively with Tapatalk, I'm pretty close to just saying we should pull the plug.

Thanks for sharing, Tom.

Why are you picking on Tom?

i like Oris overall but ALWAYS hate the lugs they so often use......it is whats kept me from owning one all these years. I was in the same camp. Then I tried one. It's a really great piece of kit, as long as you view it as a bracelet-only watch. How about rubber-strap only, too? I don't know about ...

That hour hand really looks well proportioned in this setting. Genuine Seiko? Where did you source it?

Still surprised how much I enjoy this watch, and even more so since I got the bracelet.

Thanks!! Yep it’s back. Really pretty watch.

Does anyone know what the 50/50 part means?
