Orange One Looks Better to Me
In Response To: I like it? *PIC* ()


I really like the first re-issue done by Oris, with the orange accents. I thought that if this one had an hour recorder, then I might be a buyer (or at least much more interested).

Now, they add the hour recorder that I had wanted and a GMT hand (which is always useful), but they switch to a green color scheme and make it busy with a 10-minute countdown timer. So I am still disappointed / waiting for the one I want -- orange color scheme, with 12 hour recorder. Maybe next year!!

: As for Heuer I have to say that so far I'm disappointed from the

: tried hard to like the Guinard Buren 12, but I can't. Who knows
: maybe I'm too obsessed with vintage watches.)
