db1 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 well, i have always been a "chronograph" and "complications" type of guy when it comes to watches, a watch with only a date\day window was never enough for me, i always craved for the chrono hands, and pushers. well- i am not sure why, but the Oris TT1 Diver Meistertaucher made me change my mind about that aspect of watch collecting! does anyone on this board own or had owned one? i would love to hear opinons about the watch, as i plan on selling a big amount (and the good amount) of my reps collection and gen parts to fund one of these (would love to keep my better reps, but dont have extra money so i would have to exchange reps for money so i can fund this action) had seen the rep of this model- but i dont feel like paying $300-350 for the rep while the gen is about $1200, and ive heard the rep is so-so anyway. what kind of movement these oris diver watches carry? are these standard modded ETA ? and what do they mean by saying its a "regulator movement" ? any input would be appreciated. best regards, db1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db1 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 thanks for the info AmStaFF ! good to know that, so they operate same like other big watch companies, taking a standard ETA and modding it into their "own" caliber. did you own this watch ?

db1 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 tgchrono2: this is cool! how does the watch feels on the wrist ? how smooth is the sweep? does the watch has a solid build like the solid look it has ? I like the "older" model better than the new one =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikman Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have one on my wrist as we speak. They wear quite small, like a 42mm because the base is wider than the bezel. It feels great but light because of the Ti. The sweep is on the small dial so it looks very smooth. I have a complete set in around 85% condition. I have been debating selling it as I've bought too many watches lately. PM me if you'd like to buy it at a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
