ORIS Watches - Opinions?

Light too. Incredibly light when you consider how chunky the things are. Mine has a titanium bracelet too.

Just to finish this thread off (also largely as I forgot I had started it!), I eventually took the plunge and bought a Prodiver for my thirtieth last year. It's my everyday watch hence I wear it with the rubber strap rather than the bracelet as I find it more comfortable. It also means it has numerous scuffs and scratches on it, but I bought it to wear rather than sit in it's case. Once I've figured out how the hell to upload an image off my phone I'll stick some pictures up

I'd like to see that, great watch. Where did you purchase?

Seeing this thread has been bumped, I just got a pristine 2011 Tt1 diver, complete with papers, boxes etc. This is my first "expensive" watch and I'm well impressed with it.

This is mine:



Titanium case and bracelet and lots of dust.

That's a lovely watch but it's not the Oris Pro diver I was expecting.

Sorry: posted in response to the post above mine mentioning a Titanium diver.

Good stuff. I also bought myself an Oris for my 30th last year - a BC3 Advanced and I'm really pleased with it after wearing it as my daily for a year. I'm now looking at getting a dressier watch and an Oris is on the short list for that too.

Wearing my Big Crown Day-Date today - the rubber strap's long-since died, and on a plain black leather strap it certainly doesn't call attention to itself. Lovely watch, which I've had since 2001.

Had my Oris for 7 years and its taken some significant wear and tear - still going strong and wearing today

If you can, try on an Oris Aquis Small Seconds.

46mm so the size should suit you well, it's a diver style watch, no chrono with a really nice look to it (IMO).

I haven't owned one myself by a very good friend has one and rates the quality and feel of it highly, and one is on my shopping list.

I have had this almost 7 years

I have the same watch as above and it's my go to auto. Still love wearing it and for the money the quality is very hard to beat. It's only Longines that have a similar heritage and price point.

Picked this up today, had my eye on it for quite a while to be honest!

Think this could be the start of an expensive hobby!
