What's everyone's opinion, real or not?

Saw this at a local antique store, just wondering what everyone thinks about this, is it a genuine Oris, or a Mumbai special Oris?

Neither. I have my Grail chrono, the Bulova Lunar Pilot. But if forced to choose, probably the islander. Marc needs to fix his lighting

commented on Rolex GMT vs Day Date ·

Generally, I prefer r GMT, but not in gold. I personally don't understand the fascination with gold. I think smaller, understated dress watches are fine with a gold case, but MUST have a leather strap. But big, chunky, clunky sport watches like the GMT Master, to me, just look like one is trying way too hard to show that one is loaded.

As to your dilemma, get the day-date, if you have the budget for it. Wish it wasn't in rose gold, personally think that looks more feminine, but I'd completely prefer it in stainless, but that's me.

commented on To service ($900) or not to service ·

I think they're telling you they don't want to work on it. What kind of terrible corrosion could a 12 year watch have that it needs a freakin' new case? I have a Seiko 7002 diver that's twice as old, has been serviced by the previous owner, and it have no corrosion and the case looks perfectly fine. I think I'd find a different watchmaker to do the service on the movement.
