Oris BIG CROWN BC3 DAY/DATE

Mid 90s Swiss Army Mecha-Quartz Chronograph?
A few weeks ago my Dad, an avid watch-nerd, brought to my attention a peculiar watch from his collection. The watch is a Swiss Army chronograph from the mid to late 90's that he believes was the first chronograph they produced, and one that was only available for a short amount of time. As far as looks go it's not particularly strange. It has the classic Swiss Army case design with a white face, and a fairly normal dial layout. What's weird about it is how it works. First, there is no moving seconds hand. The third sub-dial, which is located at 6, is a date index with a hand that points to the day, which is set by pushing a recessed button on the side of the case. This detail unto itself is fairly uncommon for a quartz chronograph, but what is really weird is how the chronograph works.When you start the chrono, you might find its behavior slightly strange. First, the 60-second register is ticking at half-second intervals. While this is less than a typical mechanical chronograph, which

Sea-Dweller dial size
I've recently read a couple of threads comparing the Sea-Dweller with the Submariners and was suprised to find that the dial on the Sea-Dweller either is smaller or appears smaller than the dial on the Submariner. Is this true, is this a measured difference?? I assume the outside case diameters are similar, I know the height of the case is higher with the SD so why the smaller dial, if that is the case? Thanks.

? Big pilot
Hi guys, my first post. I am thinking of buying a pilot chronograph so went to check it on my wrist this morning. There wasn't a black faced one available and the light face is not what I am looking for.Anyway....you know how it is whilst I was there thought I would see what all the fuss was about with the big pilot.Unfortunately and I'm sure you've all been here I really liked it. My wrist is 7 and1/4" so I thought it looked ok,( I'm sure my wife would tell me it looks stupid.)A new one is rather more money than I was intending to spend, I am happy to buy used and am not fussed about having the latest movement. Any views on the going used price I should be paying?I don't tend to churn my collection so will probably keep it but do they tend to retain value ?Is this a stupid idea and should I just go back to the pilot chronograph?Thanks in advance
