I know the Oris is not a respected brand in watch circles, but it felt like a superior product.

I'd say it is.

I'm glad you said that, I have a Divers Date and a BC3 Advanced (in black). I love them both. I also have a Seamaster, which is beautifully made. Comparing it with an £800 oris (the Seamaster retails at £2050 now) you can see the difference in quality, but not to the tune of £1250.

My next watch will be from one of the smaller companies like Sinn, Stowa, Glycine etc that don't spend as much on advertising or promotion.

I have a 44m Titanium diver and it appears to be at least the equal of most Omegas.

I'm really tempted! I've been following the Carrera Cal. 1887 ever since it was first mentioned, but I'm doing my best to save for a JLC, which means I'm doing my best not to be side-tracked by other purchases Unfortunately my car has been running up some high bills recently too

As for the Ball on TZ-UK ... That went fast! Seems to be a popular model! If you don't have much luck obtaining discount from Jura, give Chisholm Hunter (www.chisholmhunter.co.uk) a bell. I bought my Ball through CH and couldn't be happier with the service (and discount!) I received

Mmmm JLC. Yeah, that's one to go on my hit-list at some point as well!
Thanks for the details on Chisholm Hunter, I may drop them an email and see what they say.
