I’m New to Watches Oris.
I’m new to the watch world. How does Oris stack up. They seem to be reasonably priced. Your thoughts?
Continue readingNew BCPD Strap Suggestions
Just picked up the new BCPD in yellow. I’m generally not a fan of bracelets, and while OK, the OEM bracelet is certainly nothing special IMHO.
Looking for some strap suggestions. Prolly most interested in leather, sailcloth or other fabric. Not so muc…

Hey all. I understand that the Pointer Date has a bracelet option from Oris, but I’m not a huge fan. I was wondering if anyone has ever mated their Pointer Date with another Oris bracelet, another brand’s bracelet, or aftermarket bracelet that has endlinks/is not straight end?
Continue readingI did come across someone fitting the Sinn H-link to their Oris, but I’m curious to know if other Oris 20mm bracelets (most notably ProPilot or Diver 65) end links would match up to the Pointer Date’s case. Thanks…
New BCPD models for 2025 (new sizes, dial colors, and bracelet options)
I thought I’d drop this one in the Oris forum: I got an email from Oris today about a bunch of new BCPD models. I still like my BCPD 403 the best (the dial color and 38mm case are perfect for me), but I’m sure the models will float someone’s boat:

Sometimes Bigger really is better… and sometimes leather is better too.
I’ve been a huge fan of the Anquis line for years. Pretty recently I picked up an Aquis big date (I think that is what is called)- and I love it.

Lastly, I took a flyer on an eBay seller from Poland that was selling custom straps to fit Oris watches. For around $60- I thought, why not give it a try. I was so sure that they’d make the strap short (story…

New D65 60th anniversary
Just got the email. What do you all think of this? I’m a bit bummed as I own the the original re-issue and it became scarce, but I do think it is a great looking watch.
Continue readingOris date pointer misaligned after service
I had my Oris Big Crown Pointer Date serviced for the first time a couple of months ago at my local watchmakers. Before the service, the date pointer was always perfectly framing the number; the number was completely central inside the red cresent. Aft…
