First, if this is the wrong place to ask this you can remove or delete.
I have an opportunity to pick-up an Oris Aquis in blue and was wondering about the overall quality. I understand it's not a Rolex but I do kind of like the look for a casual watch. I did google it and it got decent reviews.

Thanks

I like Oris very much.

FLA996TT · 15 July 2016, 10:53 PM

Thanks.

They're not for me but as far as I know they have a pretty good price/quality ratio...

Oris hit it out of the park this year at Basel and the Great Barrier Reef edition Aquis with blue dial on rubber is one of my favorites - the yellow accents really look great with that blue.

FLA996TT · 16 July 2016, 04:27 AM

OMG, I just looked at it and it is very nice. I was looking at the Aquis blue dial and bezel on black strap but maybe not after seeing this one.

Oris is one of the best pieces you can get for the money. They are great looking and solid divers.

MATCH1969 · 18 July 2016, 04:14 PM

Oris is a very Nice Brand. Big value for the money You spend

FLA996TT · 20 July 2016, 04:46 AM

Well,
Now I'm confused on which way to go, Diver 65 or the Aquis.....

A friend over on wristwatchforums has a Diver 65 black dial and has the tan strap and rubber strap - looks great on both but amazing on the tan. It's be a hard call for me between the 65 on tan vs the Great Barrier Reef edition Aquis. I'd be leaning towards the latter since it's a limited edition.

Oris makes a good watch. The only advise I have is try it on before you buy and purchase with a significant discount as second hand values are limited.

mikea · 21 July 2016, 10:24 PM

They are great. I've had multiple Oris watches but I am particular fond of their divers.

Cru Jones · 22 July 2016, 01:13 AM

price to quality ratio is strong with oris. i really like the diver 65.

X2

I've owned a few, and may get another, I really like their designs and again, their prices are really good for a Swiss made timepiece.

FLA996TT · 22 July 2016, 03:19 AM

Well,
I just ordered a Oris 65 on a brown fabric strap! Now I can't wait to get it

And just for fun I ordered an Air Blue Pilot watch....

Deep Blue/Air Blue represent good value for sure, but they aren't high-end COSC chronometers so as long as you know that going in, enjoy, they're fun!

FLA996TT · 22 July 2016, 03:38 AM

Oh sure, I know. For It's just a fun watch to wear. And for $149.00 can't go wrong as a beater.

Owned one Oris (not the Aquis). Like it. Wish I hadn't sold it.
