New member new question: Oris Artelier or Invicta Vintage
First post and hoping to get some quality feedbackI was never really into watches until recently when my Fossil broke down. After 3 weeks of intensive learning, I've finally learned how important a quality watch is. I started looking for 2 watches, one for business/formal wear and one for casual everyday wear. I decided that they need to be automatic and simple, no special features just ability to tell time. I wanted a watch from a known reputable company but not one that costs too much. Omegas, Breitlings, etcwere already too high for me so I looked for the middle ground.I love roman numerals and found the dress watch. I bought a Raymond Weil Tradition watch The casual watch was a tough one, not many come in roman numerals so I left it as an option. I wanted something that would go with almost anything especially a navy blazer. My jeweler friend suggested that I look into Invicta or Oris and sure enough I found two watchesI Love the way the Invicta looks and its a good price, but the

Video: a question on 5270/ 5170 chronograph second hand
Dear All,I have come across a thread and video from a 5170 owner in another forum, who noticed a very small pause of the chronograph hand while passing the 0/60 second markI found the same behaviour in my 5270 (which share the same CH29 based caliber). It does not happen in each and every time, but in around half of the occasions. The pause is very subtle, but if you deliberately look for it at the 0/60 second mark, it can be seen. Hence I did not notice it after wearing my 5270 for few months, until I read that post.Recently I met a staff of the PP service center at a horology event and he told me that it is normal for the CH29 caliber to have this very slight pause of the chronograph second hand while passing the 0/60 second mark in some of the time, which may be related to the power diversion to the instantaneous minute counter.It will be great if other fellow 5270/ 5170 owners can share their experience.I have attached a video of my 5270 showing the subtle pause of chronograph seco

New "limited" mustard alligator strap!
Saw this at the La Jolla boutique and fell in love. Boutique claims it was a special order with limited production to about 50. It's not quite orange but not quite brown.
