man oh man that Glycine is fantastic!

I'd find a picture but I'm lazy but the Oris Mike S bought that I tried to find is hot as well for like $1300.
Oris Artelier Skeleton ($1300)??? What size is this Mike S?
Lum-Tec I believe all are under $1k? Love this blue one. Awesome watch
Glycine.....Gotta look for that as well. This looks like a great piece I wonder what size it is as well?

48mm is big but man that thing is so nice looking.

That Oris I'm still waiting to hear on. Mike told me he'd get me in touch with his guy but his guy is a ways away I'd bet

Love that Oris unless it's under 40mm. I gotta have that.


GREAT THREAD

Rep to you GrayTT!!

The Fortis B42 has been on my radar for quite some time.

Guys on a budget: Never undersestimate the pre-owned market. there are some outrageous deals to be had.

Wow. That Glycine is stunning. Everything I am reading about it says its 52mm. IMHO, that is way too big. 42 to 44 mm would be perfect for that style of watch.

From google images. It looks like a thin alarm clock on his wrist.

Always been a fan of Fortis. Very clean and purposeful.
