Insomnia - it's my excuse and I am sticking to it!

Bid on a watch on eBay. It was 3am. 'Nough said.

at least it wasn't a shop-at-home story ...which Seiko did you end up getting? My guess is a 6105-8000...

I was thinking a Rolex.

Tim is closer. Bid on it, not won it. But I'm still #1 on it......

Tried on a MM300. Sniped.

Tudor?

Shocked... focking shocked, Robert. I've been staring at the platinum YM for a while.

Tim,

Seriously, I'm kidding. I loathe Rolex and everything about the company. No offense to those who own them, I try to say "Congratulations" when folks buy one.

It's an Oris. I've been wanting the Anniversary Chronoris in Green since it came out but havne't found one gently used. This is NOT a Chronoris but as I said - it was 3am.

OK, I fell for it. I thought maybe... I said I'd never buy a PVD case, and I did.
I've been looking at Oris for a long time, too. Just hasn't ever been the right one and/or the right time. Some day, maybe. That green Chronoris would be a cool find, if you could.

Tim,

Thought it was obvious I was joking given my....well....rather well known opinions on the subject. That said, Oris is one of those companies that I either LOVE their work or LOATHE it. They do WAY too many integrated bracelets IMHO but the watches themselves are terrific. I just can't get past that with many of the models that our members have that are killer in many respects. The Chronoris, both standard in Orange and the Ann. Ed. in Green, is a terrific watch IMHO. We shall see what the future brings but the Green Chronoris is on the same list as the MM300. One day....

" Oris is one of those companies that I either

Yep, me too. We were at our AD, they had a pre-owned black dialed Diver Date, that they had just serviced, and one (maybe two) year warranty. My wife me back to reality with "Do you really need another black dial?"

That would be cool if you could get that Chronoris Doc ! It's got alot
of character, and the limited edition thing takes it up a notch as well. Like
you said it's a terrific watch, and many of the other models are excellent
also ! IMHO, any of their watches are worth staying up to 3am for !



..Tim, those Diver dates look fantastic as well. Black dial or not, they
are REAL nice imho ! Then later on after you get one of those you
can move to the motor sports watches, and then aviation collections !

No, I've looked through all of the Oris collections for years, and a very few do anything for me.
