Here my collection as it sits today.

Who needs a date function...right? Not sure if I have too much black. All iconic pieces that I love, but wondering if my collection is too homogeneous. What do you think?
Replace that Sub with an SD and that's my end game. Love those 3.

That to me is the perfect collection. One no bezel, one bad ass diver and a chrono. You can add color if you want, but that's pretty close to perfect in my book.

Looks great Greg. I also think about that sometimes, if I add a Sub, then what to do with the Speedy as both look similar. However, fuck that, as long as you're happy :thumbsup:

You could add a Polar Explorer II or a Doxa for some color :dance:

Been super busy in the last two weeks, finally got some time to post a bad photo of an awesome watch :grin:

Image

Question, anyone that have tried the Oris 65 on a nato and have also tried a Sub (non-C) on a nato, how to they compare on the wrist? Both watches are 40mm, but I guess the Sub is a little thicker.

All black is fine unless you add a straight dress watch. A meek suggestion would be to replace the Explorer with an IWC Pilot.
only accurate watches are interesting

I briefly tried on Ralph's Oris, and it was on a non-nato leather strap. It's light and thin compared to a No Date 14060M on a nato. A No Date Sub has decent heft even without the bracelet. A Sub Date would be slightly wider, taller, and heavier, I assume.

Pretty accurate. The Oris is flatter on the wrist with the NATO. I have a flat wrist so maybe that helps. I have pretty much been leaving my SubC on the bracelet, and other watches on straps and NATO's.

That's nice. I think I'll have to try one of these, it's a good size for me.

For as many posts as I read regarding people saying it is too small (not so much on DWC), it was a very pleasant surprise, for reference my wrist is just under 7", Go Cubs!!

I've admired the Pro One for a loooonnnngggg time. It was one of the first high-end watches I lusted after, but I never did pull the trigger on one.

Really, really nice watch. :love:
