simey83 2,010 Posted June 29, 2017 Hi Guys, Been mulling over getting a new watch, and as usual I keep bouncing from one to another This is where I am at, and it will probably give you an idea of what I am after. Typical dive watch, it seems.... Any other brands I should be looking at? I would like to be somewhere around £5-700, but could push 1K if it was the "right" watch..... Don't mind new, but seconds hand would save a few quid! Love me a GMT hand, and a date also :D So far I like.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, you get the idea :) Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lagger 160 Posted June 29, 2017 Oris, I had the CW and it is beautiful but sits very awkward on the wrist, or it did on me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted June 29, 2017 No,it's actually very well proportioned, due to lack of lugs. Read about it on WUS, plenty of threads there. Works well for chicken wristed individuals too :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted June 29, 2017 From that list I'd choose the CW but on a bracelet not the leather strap.. But I already have the Steinhart OVGMT and was wearing it yesterday actually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSav 2 Posted June 29, 2017 Can't go wrong with Oris but I would suggest choosing a more interesting colour combo than the plain black. Quality wise they are superb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
