Watches - another OCD problem

@Seul:

I would trust that seller: good feedback, good pics, specialises in watches.

his located in thailand, hope that does not mean anything…

are there anything to look out for regarding the mechanics of the watch?

[Seul]

Thailand is safe.

As far as the technical specs and bits, you'd better ask the seller, and inform yourself about this watch if you haven't already so there are no unpleasant surprises afterwards.

Sorry guys forgot to add any narrative to the rather crappy photo.
Out of the two I sort of prefer the Oris BC3, which is my every day watch, it's got a bit of weight and can take a thrashing, but isn't the best timekeeper.
I bought the Rolex a few years ago when everyone was wearing them, with hindsight I should have got something a bit more individual. Having been through this thread there are some great watches  that I've never come across before. So I wish I had been on the Forum before getting the Rolex.

That Rolex is beautiful Alcatraz, one day I hope to pick up one very similar.

GMT is a stone wall classic in my humble!

Styling on the Rolex doesn't really do anything for me, but that's just individual preference; the company makes excellent watches.  The Oris is nice.  The company always seems to slide along without much attention, but they do make a really solid timepiece for a nice price.

EDIT: In the interests of keeping this thread interesting, here's what I'm wearing today:

Chris, wow what is that?

[Chris]

Sturmanskie Yuri Gagarin commemorative edition.  The minute hand in the picture obscures the "1961-2001", indicating the 40th anniversary of Gagarin's being the first human in space.  I like this one a lot; the manual wind chronograph is really cool.  The biggest issue I have with it is that the date doesn't have a quick set capability, which means setting it after I haven't worn it for a while is a major hassle.

Nice clean and legible dial, shame they did not make a bit more effort with the movement.
