  • I'd say the 40mm Oris diver wears smaller than 40mm. The 36mm feels positively tiny and- and I much prefer a smaller watch. The lugs are really short and they curve down nicely. Its a good size for a lot of people IMO.

    I don't like the height of the numerals in the data window though - they look too stretched out - and the fact that the type on the bezel/date are different. I also think this needs a dive bezel rather than this 12 hour thing.

    Movement looks nice, though.

    Close to being really good, but just missed.

  • Thanks for the feedback. That's interesting as I have skinny wrists, so sounds promising size wise. Like the specs of the movement, not really a fan of seeing it though, especially on a diver, a high-end dress watch is different. Quite a price increase because of the movement upgrade which is to be expected but then it pushes them close to Tudor prices and I think they may struggle in that sense. As I said, never tried one to be fair but I find that the difference in bracelet quality can easily sway buyers if not bang on with brands that would only charge a few hundred more for a well manufactured one.

  • Rule number one, you never buy an Oris at MSRP. Ever. BB58 is $3900 on bracelet over here and the Oris is $3700. I expect that Oris to go for $2775.
