Mary says the factory is out, Silix shows it in stock, someone said another dealer had it, but only on rubber.... I emailed TS, waiting for a reply, will order ASAP if they have it, NEED that watch!

Waipio Jeff 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Why is it so hard to find a fucking 100 dollar quartz watch? This is not V25 of the DSSD or the new Pam 005K! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted March 31, 2011 Okay, just ordered from Silix. I tried to order last night, but the PP adddress on the site is out of date, they sent me an invoice with the new address, paid, went through, no problem. Now I have to wait. I haven't felt like this since I was a virgin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted March 31, 2011 please JohnG, tell us that story :P super ! I hope you will get it soon ! So you went with White or Black dial version ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted March 31, 2011 please JohnG, tell us that story I was twelve, and she was my baby sitter. What memories. super ! I hope you will get it soon ! So you went with White or Black dial version ? White, other than a blue dial Omega homage and a white dial SA, everything I have is black, need more white: Here is TS's pic again - better than Silix's, so behold, again: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted March 31, 2011 I hope that quality of Silix will be the same like TImeshops AWESOME pictures !! I must really give point to TS, his pictures are amazing, and then you want to buy all his watches !! I wonder how the bezel lock mechanism will work on this. JohnG can't wait for your review and wristie shot !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scavolas 0 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Size differences aside from the "real" Carlos Coste Chrono LE (47 vs 44 mm), I truly wonder about the quality of the bracelet, not speaking of its lug size. By 108.00 USD at TS, even for a Japanese quartz, with an appearant build quality like this, it should be a no-brainer. Only complaint of a purist would be whether this white dial model existed in a gen? please JohnG, tell us that story I was twelve, and she was my baby sitter. What memories. super !

KeNnY 29 Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks Balders, so it is like a gen working ! GREAT ! Why don't you please make an video , of your Oris rep, so we can all drown on it ??? Pleeeeeeeeeeease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted March 31, 2011 No need. it works exactly the same as shown in the official Oris video, no difference ! Sorry, let me re-phrase that, the one I have works the same, I can't testify to the accuracy or operation of any other dealers version! The white dial is a fantasy !

By 108.00 USD at TS, even for a Japanese quartz, with an appearant build quality like this, it should be a no-brainer.Only complaint of a purist would be whether this white dial model existed in a gen? Its mislabelled, not a Carlos Coste, its a ProDiver, 51mm. That I am aware of the gen doesn't come with White dial, but I could care less. I have yet to meet anybody who knows the name Oris, never mind whether this particular model comes in white or not. Besides, I never pass them off as gen.... I let people look at them, then tell them they are fake. They are always pretty amazed, because even if they don't know the watch, they all have the feel and weight of expensive watches... Also, anyone notice the dial says "quartz"? Nice detail - since it would be silly to have "automatic" on a quartz watch dial. But the gen says "automatic". Again, if you are worried about being "called out" - how many people on the planet know that this watch was ONLY available in black dial with auto movement?

KeNnY 29 Posted March 31, 2011 Baldrick I know it works like the GEN, but can't you do just the video for us ? Showing the operation of your rep ? Come on , don't be shy ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I like the detail, when the watch is Quartz, there should be quartz written as for the fantasy models, I am wondering to create an Rolex DSSD with white dial.. I will post pictures, and if somebody will like it,maybe I will mod 1/2 DSSD and sell them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG, I feel the same way...I like the way this watch looks...I don't even care if it's not the full 51mm like the gen, it's still obviously a substantial watch.

Goodness, 80% of the people who notice my Breitling or UN reps have never heard of them...if it doesn't say "Rolex", most people are oblivious... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scavolas 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Both dealers being mentioned above specifies it as a 44 (and 44.5) mm. Not that anyone would want to have a 51 mm monster... especially in SS instead of Ti.
