Hello All, I have recently picked up a nice Diver 65 42MM. Black dial,
I like it but what i was really looking for was the blue dial with numerals and not circular plots.

Im wondering, in general, which diver65 is most sought after?
Hers my 65.

 

I like them on their steel bracelets

 

I too like them on the steel bracelets. I am currently looking at a blue dial 40 mm on bracelet. Ill post a picture.

 

Currently contemplating this model.

 

Why did you buy this one if you wanted the blue? They're readily available all over the place...

 

Because as it turns out i wanted both. So i got the one that was readily in front of me anyway.

 

Images from net. My favorite is the Jonathan version:

 

It sure is lovely in black as well. I like the blue, but the pale colour is a little odd.

 

Been there too many times to count

 

If you about it. Its a very fortunate situation to be in.

 

This is the one I’ve always coveted. I didn’t know it was called a Jonathan version.

 

Actually, I’ve just googled Oris Jonathan without any success?

 

He may just be referring to the way the number is on his jersey.
Very similar.

 

Hey it's as good a name as any

 

Oh thanks, I hadn’t noticed the skater’s jersey - is he also called Jonathan?

 

I kind of like the retro look of the black one that you bought.

 

Yep, I’m happy with that - although I hope I won’t have to explain it to the Oris shop staff.
Or is it a nickname like ‘Speedy’, ‘Ed White’, ‘Evil Nina’ and various Seikos?

 

I love these watches. I wanted the Oris Aquis Date for the longest time. I'm so indecisive that I had more than Oris money saved up by the time I was ready to plunge for a watch. Gonna grab something on a rubber strap from Oris though - maybe next year or 2022.

 

I hate all watch nicknames and especially "speedy". Reminds me of back in high school when some wanna-be would call a sportster a "sporty".

 

Yes, that's James Caan's character in the original 'Rollerball'
