The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread
-
I saw an Oris Big Crown in bronze yesterday. Didn't try it on, nor did I get a photo (here's one from Monochrome), but it's a really nice looking piece.
The case has more of a red-brown hue than other bronze watches, the photo captures it pretty well, and the green dial is lovely. It's an @Anesthetist (and Hodinkee) friendly 36 mm in diameter, so your other half will probably steal it.
Unfortunately they're around $1800, so not the cheapest option.

The case looks beautiful, but man, I hate cathedral hands. It also bugs me that the font for the dates doesn't match the font for the main numbers, especially since that font is much cooler.

Here's my unintimidating piece in its natural element.

Worth a look at for those folks that like field watches:
I've been saying for years that the SARG009 and SARG011 are great watches, and the prices on the secondary market are still going up. I've had the SARG011 for a couple years and it's more accurate than my COSC certified watches.

I really like this GS/TP “Fried Egg” watch. Carry on

At £155 most would consider this a cheap watch. It is battery ok not mechanical, but for bumming about without caring about damage it's served me well in the 3 years I've owned it.
Don’t know much about the Nixon brand , but I like the look of this one .
Simple lines and classy looking . -
Interesting that the owner got so much green oxidation. Most of the bronze watches I've seen tend to turn black. I'm guessing there was a lot of salt water exposure?
