Close but I don't like the numbered minutes track...
What about a Hamilton Jazzmaster Day Date auto? 40mm size, 80hr power reserve auto movement. Day Date features like above and no annoying numbered minutes track.
Also cheap enough to damage it in a bicycle crash or careless beach sunbathing.....
What I would love is for Oris to drop from 44 to 42mm, and put in a day-date version of their calibre 400 (10 year service cycle etc etc) and that I’d be happy wearing day in day out
+1!! Fantastic watches.
<when you realise your in a conversation above your station and exit left quietly…>
Noo! This is an inclusive discussion about watches of all types, we don't discriminate here, especially not on cost.
Well I'm about to spend £120 an a brightly coloured chunky ass Festina. It looks ace and bugger what anyone else thinks.
@SSS, thanks and a good call but both the Hamilton Jazzmaster and the Tudor 'Glamour' Date-Day have weird, slightly funky, case shapes. I trieds dem all I did!
Don't think that I could bring myself to spend more than £2.30 on something called a "Hamilton Jizzmaster".
😂
😄
I just bought an Apple Watch Ultra*. Will you discriminate against me?

*To wear on my right wrist - it’s a phone and payment system. The left wrist is for a proper watch. Now you’ll discriminate against me.
In order to make sure your Hamilton Jizzmaster is fully wound, place on your preferred wrist and move vigorously in a to and fro motion…
Cost is not an issue here. I also sport the trusty Vostok Zissou! And SSS can beat us all hands down on value. It's all good!
I wear proper watch left hand and a Garmin bracelet thingy on the right. I disabled the watch function, so the screen is all black unless I tap it. When it breaks, I won't be replacing it: watching the slow but inevitable decline of my fitness is not something I wish to document forever.
@IGM, RE: hand shandy watch charging, be wary of the material. A steel watch with full bracelet adds a lot of momentum to the stroke. If I got the Rolex DD full platinum I'd risk crushing my pelvis on the ins and emasculation on the outs :O
</p>Mmmm yummy
@wait4me, yes I've seen one in a boutique (aka 'shop') but didn't try it on. It has the 400 calibre, which is a very good thing. Go and try it on!
A recent purchase (long-time lurker in this thread)
Nice chipps!
Welcome Stuartie! Please tell us about it, it's not a watch I know anything of.
That Tudor is lovely.
Nice Chipps!
I like the Coulson Oris too, saw one in the flesh recently but didn't try it on, it's lovely though
Marloe Coniston Auto "Trackday"
Design cues from Gulf racing livery.
Marloe are a small brand with their HQ in Kinross (a short bike ride from where I live).
Basic movement calibre (Miyota/Citizen 8N24) but lovely to look at.
Sorry to go against the thread, but where’s the best place to go for n-1?
Have a Tag Carrera (not sure exact model, but it’ll be on the paperwork) from 2007ish that I haven’t worn in years. A bit too common for the local-ish places I’ve approached. Where would be the best place for a safe sale? Seen the adverts at the back of car magazine I occasionally get, but not sure of their reliability or is it like We Buy Any Car and every tiny little thing is used to knock down initial offer.
Any advice or experiences appreciated.
Treated myself to this Chunky Monkey.
It's bloody huge and weighs a ton. I like it!
I took a Carrera to a a pawn brokers called Ramsdens in Altrincham. They gave me what I considered a reasonable price for it, especially as I bought it second hand so it had already done a lot of depreciation. Cash in hand, job done.
I just found it on their website though, frankly they're raking the piss with the selling price!
Did they give you £1k?
I bet no, £700.
Looking at ebay sold prices they have sold for £800-£1200 so I think you are right £700 (or less.)
What do you lot think of this 1972 reissue?
Late to the party, but I like it 🙂
Goldsmiths have some decently discounted watches in their sale at the moment, including Oris, Longines, Tag Panerai and Glashutte.
Enjoy 😀
No, they gave me £850, which I thought was decent for a dealer. I paid £900ish, (can’t remember exactly) for it on eBay in 2019.
Looking at ebay prices i think you've done well.
On a flight to Greece now. Four days. Four watches. Oris Day-date, Rolex Exp1, Tudor Pelagos and VC Patriomony. All bases covered, and even some Hellenic flag Speedos as crowd pleasers for the beach. Tally ho!!!
Just wear them all together, youve got 2 wrists and 2 ankles dont you? Sorted..... 😀 Start a new fashion trend or confirm youre an enigma.
Just rotate them every day.....
Is there another way?!
Well I pushed the button on the Oris Coulson. Bought blind online from C.W Sellors for under £1700 which seems a crazy bargain on the face of it, considering it's still up for £3750 from plenty of shops. Free winder too.
Wish me luck. Will put some pics up when it arrives.
Just had a read up on the Oris Coulson and they look great in more detail. It's low weight should make it very comfy for a 41mm watch.
Nice work - looking forward to pics and your thoughts! The Propilot (at least in steel) wears surprisingly comfortably for its size, I think partly because the strap and clasp are excellent
Yes, Propilot, especially Day-date, on a bracelet would be pretty daunting.

I really like that!
I took advantage of the sale to buy something Oris I’d been looking at for a while as well 40% off and another 10% discount on checkout. Photos when it lands!
Day 3: Pelagos on Sifnos. Almost time for lunch!
