Oris 21J around 1970
I just bought an Oris 21J around 1970 model from someone else. It looks to be in very good condition. Does anyone know what I should be looking for to make sure it is mechanically sound? Any other suggestions?Thanks.

Yet another 5711 quandary
So I was offered a 5711 about a year ago from my 'go to' AD. I think I have paid for multiple Ivy League university degrees for his kids. I have worn it less than 20 days. I know how hot they are and I do like it I just never wear it. Not looking to sell it, well not really. I have a 5726 strap and 5712 and a 5711P.
