Handwound, no date, and more expensive for basically the same watch?
That's the Porsche model. The more stuff they take away the more the price increases. Seems to work.

well that 40mm is non-starter for me 'cause it's the smallest 40mm watch I've had on my wrist but regardless I'd rather have a blue dial model for 1K from Jomashop

What’s the point of hand wound?

Ya know, if it was me, I think I'd grab a 39.5mm Aquis and call it a day.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

It's cool, but I think ultimately forgettable.

Echo a lot of the stuff here. This isn’t a $2300 watch and I’m wondering why they made it a manual wind. They’ve definitely ridden the diver’s 65 pony as much as they can.

That said I’d still like to pick up the OG with numerals for a much more reasonable price sometime in the near future.

The will sell out, if they haven’t already. This LE looks nice to me. I for one love my RedBar Edition. Yes, I paid retail for mine, but was lucky enough to get one with the help of Chris and Adam.

I think they were trying to reduce the thickness further. Plus i future they had to do “something different” to justify yet another 65 LE and the price.
I love the looks but don’t like handwound mvt in divers personally and can’t justify 2300$ for an oris 65.

The regular 40mm model comes with the same bracelet.

I prefer the regular 40. At any price really, but factor in the price and the LE is a hard pass.

It's good looking watch and I defiantly like that bezel. The price is stupid.

Anyone who pays $3,800 for that watch is out of their mind.
