Oris BC3 - Genuine or fake

[jmar2971]

Just a bit of help needed from anyone who knows Oris watches. I just recently bought the watch below for a cheaper price than most that are currently for sale. As the watch has never been worn I just wanted to check it wasn't a copy.

Sorry I have shared the images through dropbox.

Difficult one. I'd shove it on Friends of Oris.

I've got a BC3 and it's a black face one with a red rotor, but I bought it in 2010. The pre-red rotor ones are from early 2000 apparently. The rear of my watch also has different lugs to engage a tool to remove it.

I've never seen a white one - there's a thread discussing one here though http://www.friendsoforis.com/forum/index.php?/topi...

Thanks for the tip. I will have a look over there.

First hit on a google search for Oris BC3 replica:

As you can see the copies aren't just restricted to the big brands....

That was the site that I looked at hence the question. I was surprised of the price as I didn't pay a great amount more for the one that I bought.
