Id probably go Oris out of those 3. Totally different angle but you might check the green series from Unimatic. I liked them when they were released a few years ago.

I don't like the lugs on the Oris. They are narrow and don't fit normal aftermarket straps

The Longines has a 21mm lug width, so that severely limits aftermarket options as well.

I had the Hydroconquest (in black) and loved it, but I would 100% take the Aquis over it. In my opinion the Aquis is the best modern aesthetic diver (so not counting vintage inspired Black Bay) until you get up to Omega pricing.

And their green dial Aquis is my favorite green dial watch.

But I'm a bracelet guy, so the strap change thing isn't an issue for me. They do make a great rubber strap, but as others have mentioned you are essentially limiting yourself to their in house options.

what are you asking for the GTS?

I'm looking for that or Pappy 20 to celebrate a very special occasion, but I'm afraid to ask about the 20.

---

$2500 for the GTS
Probably $7k for the 20 year…

---

$7k for a bottle of bourbon!? Lol. That is dumb.

How much does OF Birthday Bourbon run?

I like the Oris best of those green divers above.

Depending on the year,~ $800-1100

I agree with your assessment on the Oris. It may be my favorite diver in any price range.

Just fyi I think you're off on the 20 year. By about $3,500.

Not based on the year and where it came from. The subject was covered.

I would like to see the source as I'd bet money a 2011 20 year has never sold for $7,000.

You should bet $7k.

I just pulled 6 listing within about the last 12 months for a 2011 PVW20 that show its valued at about $3,750.

I'm with DFB on this one. Maybe he has been visiting Sunny's a wee bit too much.

My buddy just told me the bourbon bubble just busted and is essentially worthless now.

Hopefully people end up with some ROI at this point.

Not to sure on that. Bottles are still increasing in value but not at the same clip as they were in 2020/2021.

Can i get a handle of buffalo for $35 again? Havent had it years.

It hadn't busted one bit. Softened some maybe, but prices are still high. Stagg is around 1k, and Pappy prices keep going up. WLW is 1500+.

Yeah, I guess I need to insert the sarcasm emoji

Was just pulling that guy's chain. Unfortunately, I'm quite aware of how bad the bourbon secondary market has gotten. A $34 Weller 12 going for 200. To think those use to just sit on the shelves a few years ago

A few as in 10+?

Looked into a formex reef gmt with green dial and bezel? Gives you more options in the future if you happen to like the look.

Yeah you did!

Was just coming to post about that (as one of the resident CW pushers, lol). I'm really tempted, but I do already have a black diver (a Seiko Prospex Gen 4 Monster).

But as much as I love my C60 Trident 300, this one is very appealing, even though it's a little larger.

That's cool

Damn that's nice

It gone.

Did anyone see the price? It was SOLD OUT before I could see it.

IIRC $505 or $595. Can't recall which.

$595

Yeah, $595 with the NATO strap, it was like $795 or so with a gunmetal steel bracelet.

Heck of a deal for that.

Similar look to the Seiko I have on, but it's not ceramic and that's better styling and movement within $100 of the same price.

They'd make a killing if it wasn't limited.
