You're not wrong. I have my grandfather's pin pallet movement Oris from the 1950s. It had a nickel plated brass case that has evenly worn apart from the cashback which is heavily pitted. The original dial is in great condition. It stopped a couple of years ago and sent it to Andrew Charles watchmakers. They were the service centre in the UK for a while. I thought they would have replaced the whole movement but said they didn't,  just replaced the worn parts. Now it keeps very good time but I rarely wear it as it has not an ounce of water resistance and has huge sentimental value if no actual value.

When I bought it I only had my Rolex OP and wanted a black faced watch as an alternative to the Rolex's white. Now it is one of a dozen or so but still has a regular place in my rotation.

Is this model going on general sale? Morning Russ.

commented on Speedmaster Professional 3861 Sapphire or Hesalite? ·

I'd go for hesalite version. Cheaper, more faithful to the original with all the good bits inside...

Anybody else set the "wrong" time on their watches?

I usually wear a watch in my rotation for a week or so before changing it. If it gains say 10 seconds a day, I'll set it 30/45 seconds slow so that by...
