To me, Oris is like a pug-faced, way too chubby girl who needs to be taken to pricey dinners all the time. Well, maybe she's for someone. But definitely not for me.

$1950? They've got to be fuckin' kidding... At $1600 MSRP, you can get a Longines DolceVita auto, with a far better quality Art-Deco sector or flinque dial. And the same movement, but in a far higher grade than Oris will ever deliver anything.

Like most Oris, it's a 600-dollar watch at best, which means they're at least three times overpriced.

I feel like Oris is the kind of brand that makes any sense only if you really love the looks and don't care about bang for the buck, for the most part.

Frankly, I wouldn't buy this or any Oris even at 50% discount, because I simply don't think it delivers any particular value for the money. It's got Certina-grade finishing on the outside, Glycine-grade in terms of the movement, and costs more than a Longines or Rado - and into TAG Heuer territory - while only ever being able to give Longines, Rado or TAG a shoeshine.

I mean, if one loves a particular Oris, it's what one's going to get, because it's a matter of love, and love is anything but logical. To me, Oris is like a pug-faced, way too chubby girl who needs to be taken to pricey dinners all the time. Well, maybe she's for someone. But definitely not for me.
