I like these Big Crown Pointer Date models. This is a 36 mm Ø version with a greyish-green dial. Vintage vibe with the color and the Cathedral hands. Photo credits: Les Rhabilleurs. ...  

Oris - DEFINITELY.

Very cool! Looks like a more wearable version of the IWC Deep One

How do you like the fit and finish on their watches? I'm getting the itch for a Big Crown Pointer Date but in 40 mm Ø rather than the 36 mm in the original post.

I don't own any Oris....

ORIS? Yes - maybe one or two models But I can't read the date display!?! Note that the numeral 9 is in Thai script because the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej was also Rama IX of Thailand. The royal crest at 12 o'clock. ORIS King Rama IX 80th Birthday Editio...

I love this watch. Perfect size, absolutely love the dial colour, looks great on a strap etc. Very vintage vibe.

I was unfamiliar with Oris until last night...

I went to an Oris event and was impressed. I saw that green dial calendar watch, which is really nice.

Not for the moment, but used too...

Oris appears to be a very well regarded brand by Purists for both current and past owners. Thanks to all your feedback my remaining doubts about Oris quality have been alleviated. I can safely put this watch on my "list".
