I’ve had a Swiss Army watch for years, trust piece of gear, then my wife got me an Armani watch for a wedding present, nice bronze colour and good for a dinner out but today I decided to treat myself after a proper life changing / testing seven months.
Walking past my local jewellers I saw this Oris Clipperton sat there yesterday...tried it on...then left. Went home, couldn’t stop thinking about it and that brilliant blue face...so I decided to go back and buy it today. I’m not a watch person but felt being limited to 2000 pieces, automatic and Swiss made, it should still work and look good in 20 years and it’s something to pass on.
Just to clarify, this isn’t a “look at me” post but rather a post for those who like a watch and to break up the 1001 threads about managers

No doubt this was bought with profits from the Uzbekistan Premier League. Enjoy it. |  |

That’s a nice watch. I keep toying with buying an Oris. Don’t want to stretch to a Rolex or Omega and Oris seem well regarded. |  |

That’s a fine looking watch, Oris are a very good brand too. |  | | |

I’m lucky to have Andrew Michaels on my doorstep, biggest Breitling retailer in Europe I believe and a huge selection of watches in general. Rolex a lot of wonga and not me, Omega nice but I wanted something a bit different and Oris ticked the box. Well regarded as you say and I liked the limited edition theme of the Clipperton. | |

It's not a proper watch without mickey mouse on it. |  | | |

With that Bezel matched to that bracelet it strikes me that it’s a watch that doesn’t quite know what it’s trying to be. I’m not a fan at all but nice one! |  | | |

Nice, looks lovely, watch guys love Oris. I've often toyed with getting one but have yet to take the plunge as I'm a little bit obsessed with trying to catch the waves of unloved pre-owned pieces, I've had a couple of relatively good wins over the past year, enough to put half required aside for my 'grail watch'. |  | | |

What’s your grail watch TC? I know the jeweller at shop and he came out and offered me his year old Breitling Superocean for around the £2k mark...was tempting but the Oris was too nice to leave. | |

Nice watch.
Longine do a similar one with a nice blue face. Roughly the same price point as well.
Good choice. |  |

Is that the Hydroconquest? They are a nice range, the blue and gold one I like a lot. I got mine for £1500 down from £1720 but imagine you could get a Hydroconquest for around £700. | |

Patek Nautilus. Such a cliché, I know.
Much as I don't like buying new I think you made the better choice, resale value aside. | | | |
