The Timepiece Thread vol: READ THE 1st POST!!!

Just wanted to share, I'm not sure if anyone here is with me but I love old, vintage style divers.

Just a few examples are the JLC Deep Sea

IWC Aquatimer 2000
View media item 1596098


And even the Longines Legend Diver (which is already a decent price at $2300 but just too big for my wrist)

But not I think I found what I might actually cop just because it retails for $1850, the Oris Divers Sixty Five
(left is the new iteration while the one on the right is the original)

One of the few times the new version is better just because the date has been moved to the 6 o'clock and it balances out the dial, it's symmetric now and at 40mm, it is can be accommodated by my wrist.
Plus it's an Oris so I'll be keeping an eye out for it to go on a deep discount.

Some very nice pieces in this thread.

Was (and still) hoping to get my first "luxury" (entry level) watch, hopefully sometime later in the year.

Seiko Spork on a brown leather strap. Had it for a few years now and still love it.

I have very small wrists, so it's a little big on my wrists.

Spoiler: Pics

^nice! probably gonna get a skx007 for a project watch soon.

 

[illphillip]

I thought "Spork" was a typo

 

[grandtheftbike]

I have a few pics on my phone that I can post, but currently everything is in the safe in my office. I don't mind one bit, i'm actually glad there's other people on NT who share the same passion.

Can anyone recommend anything I the $500-$1000 range that is 44mm or bigger? I have fat wrist and anything smaller looks like a woman's watch.

Tissot makes some real nice stuff in that size or right around it.

Im sure Breitling makes some big pieces as well.
