Well if they're good enough for the RAF......

I'm really looking forward to my birthday in March as my wife has bought me a second hand Oris wrist alarm that I've been after for ages. This is it:

Are these watches issued to the RAF? They aren't cheap.


EDIT: really, someone down voted me for asking a question?

This is the only nice watch I've ever owned and bought for myself. :] When not in use, I place it back into the box.

The only watch pic I had handy. Never loses a second, and just the right heft. Actually the pic was of this tiny hermit crab I saw in Taiwan, with the watch in there for size reference.

So yes, I picked up crabs in Taiwan. Well, one crab anyway.

I brought you back to zero because I wanted to know the same thing.

All nice watches here. I just can't bring myself to spend over $100 on one, no matter how nice they are. I've seen a few in the $200 range I really love.....mental block I guess...

Cool, no worries. Some people just go around down voting random people because they have nothing better to do. I did find that one interesting though.
