I wasn't really looking specifically for particular models or features... I was more focused on price, condition, and the general vibe of the watch. This one's been polished but the dial/hands/markers are all pristine, the bracelet stretch is negligible, and the polishing doesn't seem too over-the-top. Honestly it feels almost like I'm wearing a new watch.
That is one of the things about Rolex being so slow-moving and conservative in terms of their designs... this watch is close to 30 years old and in some ways would be indistinguishable from a watch fresh out of the display case.Ben

Another day, another watch. This one is a vintage Seiko 5 eBay find.
eBay is littered with vintage seiko 5s and random vintage Oris watches, all for around $20. I think this one was $17, including shipping. I always look for pics of the movements, and I notice that Oris must have used much better gaskets than Seiko, because often you'll find a nice looking vintage Seiko 5 that looks like garbage inside, but the Orises are almost always pristine inside.
