LOVE IT! I was looking at a LNIB Sixty Five yesterday. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

Thanks guys, I'm very happy with it. Last Christmas I tried the new omega 300 on and thought that would be my next purchase, but not till next year. Not really took a lot of notice of this till I saw this years version with the blue on it. So started to look into it a bit more, it ticked all the boxes I had for my next watch. Vintage looks, but a modern watch & a diver. Size wise this feels better on, it's not very heavy and it's nice and thin for a modern diver, ok only 100mtr rated but will be fine in the swimming pool. When you put this next to the omega for me when you consider the price difference this is a better buy. I looked around the used market and notice the amount the omegas have lost in 12 months. This isn't something I normally look at but I'm trying to be a bit more sensible. You can buy 3 of these for 1 used Omega. Don't get me wrong the movement in the omega is a lot more fancy than what's in the Oris, but they both tell the same time

You made the right choice, Marcus. Given the option of this or that Seamaster 300 reissue I would have certainly taken this Oris. Not only is the Oris a well designed piece but for some reason the Seamaster 300 never really did it for me, even in person.

Congratulations, Marcus! ENABLER !!! Actually, I have had my eyes on this model for a few months. I just didn't want to get one or order one without seeing it first. Then I saw your thread, and was downtown today. Recalling that my favourite AD now carries Oris, I popped in to see if they had one of these. For some reason, I did not think they would. As you say, the watch is a perfect size. Very comfortable. I love the unique font. And they didn't widen the bezel either, so it looks even more like the original than the Omega Seamaster 300 IMO. I also love the distortion given by the sapphire crystal because of the domed shape. At first, I really thought that it is hesalite. And I mentioned the date before, so well done. Hope you enjoy your's every bit as I do mine! Carl
