TmeShare Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 In researching the Oris Carlos Coste Chronograph Limited Edition, It appears that it actually only is sold on a bracelet not a rubber strap. I have found web posts with the entire package that the watch is sold with and there is no rubber strap option. In other words, any one with the rep, which only comes on a rubber strap, is clearly identifying that it is not OEM. TimeShare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Silix and PC have it only on a rubber strap which is incorrect. If you have a bracelet source, maybe there's hope for this rep. I have avoided buying it because the non bracelet edition is fantasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I should actually read your post!!!! NEVER MIND!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidestro Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I thought the gen was titanium, is it not? Why worry about a bracelet if there is a bigger tell in the material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidestro Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Yep, I was right. Ti only. hxxp://www.watchtraderz.com/2007/08/oris_carlos_coste_limited_edit.html "The new Limited Edition Carlos Coste Chrono is probably the nicest watch Oris introduced at Baselworld. This beast has a massive 47 mm titanium case with a a 4.8 mm sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 1000 m. The limited edition version is named after Oris brand ambassador Carlos Coste who is the free-diving world record holder. The dial is very cool with orange accents, orange luminous paint and a black dial with a printed wave design. There are 2000 editions available worldwide for $3195.

Dario33 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Rep bracelet version will be released eventually. Still no word on a Ti version though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 The other divers from Oris have this rubber strap actually. So the lack of bracelet is half a tell, as this rubber combo is something that can happen in real life... I mean with a gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Rep bracelet version will be released eventually. Still no word on a Ti version though. I think an all titanium Coste on bracelet version could command a hefty dollar as an Uber Rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Isn't that rep colour imitating Ti ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Isn't that rep colour imitating Ti ? Yeah...I thought it was sandblasted to mimic titanium. Previous reviews have noted only the weight was a material giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 So I personally don't need real Ti, as it's surely more expensive, and besides Ti rep are usually a step under the gen thing as far as fit and finish is concerned. At least I think so while looking at the pictures (Ingenieur AMG or some Breitlings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
