Oris Big Crown Pointer Date - Full Review -

Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
I try very hard to diversify my content. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also feature them on this channel.
Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress and Ashford.com.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
www.ashford.com
If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:
vario.sg/
and
artemstraps.com/collections/s...
As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
Below are affiliate links for my absolute favourite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

I love how the pointer date eliminates the unbalanced dial of having a date at 3. It's basically like a no date.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@tedblack2415]

The one model from Oris that does it for me , love these watches. .

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@adk7962]

The specs on this watch is literally perfect. Well for me anyway. Thanks for showing us the watch!

[@WATCHingJames]

And it really translates in real life too

[@noturkey3510]

I was lucky enough to pick up a brand new bronze case and bracelet with a burgundy dial for $2800 AUD due to a pricing error which Oris honored. I'm one lucky man!

[@WATCHingJames]

I saw that they were partially cheap for a while on Starbuy. I almost bought one.

[@tonyvera-cruz6422]

That's a nice review of my entry-level drug.
And it's permanent in the collection.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@snowye79]

I own a bcpd as well. It is one of my earliest watch and still remain my favourite to this day. Still wear it regularly in my 20 watches collection. 😂 Agree it wears very well and the dial still attracts me to stare and admire it. One thing I don't agree with is the bezel. The coin edge bezel is one of my favourite part of the watch and goes very well with the whole watch design. Definitely won't want it to be changed. Nice review.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@johnswatchjoint]

Some watches are just meant to be. This is beautiful. Excellent James 😊

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks mate

[@dunderhay9169]

Beautiful watch, I'm not so keen on the bracelet, it's a bit blingy, but the watch would look amazing on a nice leather strap.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@davidcooper8621]

Excellent review of my grail watch James. However, the problem isn't just the price, but if I bought one I would have to wear it most of the time and ignore the rest of my collection.

[@WATCHingJames]

I know how that feels. I’ve done it before. But I find it eventually settles into the collection and might just be one of the more go to pieces.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

A flawed beauty but a stunning one at that! Man oh man I love these! Take care James!

[@WATCHingJames]

They are a lovely watch

[@chad.haggerty]

What a beauty! Thanks for showing us this one.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@sutejbhujbal]

Congratulations for completing 10 k subscribers .

[@WATCHingJames]

Thank you so much

[@danielcooke9974]

To similar to what I have ,
Too easy to get another black dial field/aviator style watch , but I do like the pro pilot x in either lazer or grey , top of my list from my next watch is power reserve.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@ApolloSpice]

Congrats on 10k!

[@WATCHingJames]

Thank you

[@nooreddenalshuqran3824]

To be honest, the oris big crown pointer date is my dream watch, such a versatile watch and has a lot of history

[@WATCHingJames]

They are really nice

[@andrewd7586]

I’ve got a vintage Oris Pointer Date, 32mm James. Purely bought as a special occasion watch it’s stunning! I’ve eyed this model off now FOREVER, but still haven’t bought one. Having said that I did buy the Oris ProPilot GMT about 2 months ago.👍🏼😎

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@cedarcanoe]

I have had this exact same watch and sold it after a while. Sits and wears very well. Beautiful (my favorite) color of dial. But somehow I got tired of it.

[@WATCHingJames]

That happens sometimes. Thanks for WATCHing

[@jim3922]

From certain angles off the side, that Oris looks like a UFO. I like it!

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@moneymikz]

There’s a Big Crown skeleton on Joma that’s almost $3000 off retail. I think it might be my new attainable grail.

[@WATCHingJames]

They have a few of those. Such a great brand

[@Andrew-yy2ye]

Never really been a Oris fan, can't quite put my finger on it , but everyone I can't stress this enough,buy what you enjoy and you won't go far wrong

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@vonkruel]

That's one heck of a nice watch, and thanks for reminding me about it. I like the Sellita base movement, and the whole design just works for me. I think a pointer date is a nice _consistent_ date indicator, and it's easier for me to read (in low light especially) than a date printed on a date wheel. The big crown looks right on the watch, just don't let that encourage you to manually wind the watch beyond what it takes to get it running.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@thegorn]

It's probably the only Oris I would buy. I love me some cathedral hands.

[@WATCHingJames]

They really add to the overall look

[@bestboy897]

excellent review

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@LTBallurio]

That’s beautiful!

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@jamesblonde2271]

Well fellow Aussie Jody sez the Divers 65 is the best, perhaps a grudge match, stripped tothe waist in a billabong? Each man armed with a deadly platypus, Im only worried that Jodys Scottish heritage might give him a bladed weopon advantage but I understand native aAussies can draw on a rich genetic criminal history.......😂

[@WATCHingJames]

Hahahahahaha. I like the 65 too. But not as much as this one.

[@cowinwatts9025]

Crickey, Look at that 😲😳

[@cowinwatts9025]

👍👍👍

[@WATCHingJames]

Hahahahaha. Yep

[@scatterbrain9490]

Nice

[@WATCHingJames]

Very nice

[@mlzs_]

Imo too much gloss, flat dial, 50m water resistance are not ideal

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing
