Which Oris Divers 65 to get?

I know there are so many different dial colors, straps and bracelet types etc. It is becoming very difficult to figure out which combination is by far the best, for example, there is green dial with saddle brown strap, and then there is black color on the same strap or SS bracelet with bronze. Anyone here own one?

I think that they come in 40 mm or 42 mm, so that would be your first decision. I own an Oris Big Crown, Pointer Date and I am happy with it. Admire the diver.

Going with 40, since I already have a Tudor BB 42 ETA Red.

I mean... don't you think you should just go with the size and color that you like?

..but if my personal opinion helps the green dial with brown strap looks good but I wouldn't buy it since I already have a green sub. If I had to buy one I would just buy whatever color I feel like on that day since they all look pretty good. Probably blue then black.

Green Oris Aquis is nice too. Becomes difficult to choose if Oris 65 or Aquis green.

I had the diver 65 retro (12-3-6-9 dial) briefly. I maybe in the minority here but i felt the watch was delicate and not really meant for sporty activities.

The strap on that one looks funky.

Is it denim? I guess it can be swapped out.
