checked out the oris williams team f1 day date today at tourneau. I was very impressed by the watch as it looked way better in person that it did in the pictures. the dealer quoted me a price of $1000. what do you guys think of this watch? also, what do you think of the price. i am strongly considering buying it.
thanks

cody10911 · 21 June 2009, 09:57 AM

anybody? please help me out guys, I would much rather take advice from people who post on this site than the person at the store trying to sell me the watch.
thanks!

it helps if you post a picture of the watch in question:) as for price, i'm pretty sure you can do better than what you were offered at a tourneau. they are notorious for not giving reasonable discounts.

Is this the same watch?

diablojota · 21 June 2009, 10:41 AM

Or is it this one? http://www.messinajewelers.com/oris-...5mb-p-532.html

Basically, just doing a basic search you can do better than the prices at Tourneau.

$1000 is too much. There are many sources for deeply discounted Orises (or, would it be 'Ori'?

), especially the F1 editions.

djhiram · 21 June 2009, 12:44 PM

Seems a bit high IMO

heresiarh · 21 June 2009, 01:01 PM

You can get that piece for $600-$700. Look around and you'll find something. It is a good looking watch.

Oris make a very nice watch. My local Oris AD will go at least 35% off on them. PM me if you need contact info.

cody10911 · 21 June 2009, 02:14 PM

thank you all for the advice. I was looking and found a good price for the model I want on amazon.com. Has anyone else had experience buying their watch from amazon?

No but they have good buyer protection for anything you buy on their site.

kelly56 · 22 June 2009, 03:47 AM

I've seen Oris in Macy's. They usually have good sales.

Gaijin · 22 June 2009, 10:33 PM

You always get raped price wise at the big T.

chris_1001 · 23 June 2009, 01:01 AM

I had one a few years back, an F1, ran fast and I ended up selling it... I wore my sub all the time and having a brand new watch running 35-40 sec fast per day was a bit of a turn off...

Watchdog · 24 June 2009, 06:58 PM

The price is high. You can do better.

I am a fan of Oris aesthetically; however, if pinpoint accuracy is an issue, I would move on to another brand.

But, overall IMHO, Oris is a solid value for the buck.

I'd stay away from Tourneau--they don't use lube, so it really hurts.
