This one is on my short list. On bracelet though. Great looking piece for sure.

However, I always pause at buying an Oris new; they take such a big hit when you go to sell

I have two Oris divers now, and I've had two or three others previously and I've been well pleased with all of them. Solid Swiss build quality.

I love Oris! I've had a lot of Oris I've flipped. Decided to settle with my Gray Dial, Green ceramic bezel aquis. So sturdy, I beat it so much. Most specially I wore it for Navy bootcamp and its still running super strong. I've had the Maldives, titan, and the bc4.

Picking an Aquis is a no brainer, I've handled them many times and owned several Oris' (BC, TT1's, etc). Only hard part is picking the color. I like the black dial with green bezel.

this would be a great way to add some "blue" to a collection.

Love mine! Can reasonably be the one and only watch for a lot of people! As stated before if you're a strap nut you'll probably need a second watch.

His and hers?!?!? I should've thought of that...

(there may be hope that I can get my wife to buy into the hobby...)

Tried that one on at the AD a few days ago. Great looking watch, great dial. Wears perfect on my wrist. Was wearing my Hexa that day and the dials are very similar.

Only thing I'd change is getting all the polished bits brushed instead

I've noticed that the same guys who bitch about Oris lugs are usually the same ones who go crazy if you put a strap on a Rolex.

I have owned 2 Oris Titan 1000's, 1 meistertaucher regulator, 1 Carlos Coste, and currently own a 47mm Titan C and they were/are all great watches. I think I paid $400 for my first used Titan 1000, if you can believe that! I'm somewhat of a purest bracelet guy so I'm fine with the fatty Oris lugs. Go for it! Love that blue sunburst dial!

I like the older TT1 Diver Date versions. I don't have the blue version any longer. Both were great watches, and I believe some of the best value Swiss diving watches.

I like these, too. I used to have a black dialed one on a rubber strap. I preferred the crown without the crown guards on this model.

Did the same. Good luck, even at 30% off I can't pull the trigger. I flip too much to buy an Oris full price :shifty:

Wow, that blue dialed small seconds looks spectacular. I too love Oris. Yes the integrated lugs aren't for everyone, but I love that it makes the bracelet look "integrated" with the case. Like the bracelet and case are one solid piece.
