baxter 6 Posted September 14, 2013 I must admit that this Obris Morgan looks too good, almost too good to be true we'll soon find out gran ...... seems their previous releases had pretty good feedback re quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gran 198 Posted September 14, 2013 Yes they seem truly great! Extremely well made and relatively slim. Looks like a winner to me. Did they send QC pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markeym3 2 Posted September 14, 2013 I like these companies that bring out a small limited run of a watch , and you know the quality is there too such good value for a nicely made automatic watch.. it looks a bit like my Korsbeck , the case is made by Fricker with a swiss ETA movement ,, But yeah gonna looki into this Obris .. Thanks for bringing to the forum ... Ok just placed my order ,, black dial , black bezel ,,, looks nice cannee wait ,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mellons 881 Posted September 14, 2013 Hopefully i will get mine next week- brushed with black dial If reality is half as good as photos it will be a keeper Reat design- echoes of rolex big crown mixed in with ploprof bzel and that lug-strap junction is elegant and vrutal at the same time. I hope it wont wear too small... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gran 198 Posted September 14, 2013 not sure if they're sending QC pics gran ..... famous last words but i've got a good feeling about this one You have every reason to feel good about it. Looks a helluva lot better than many a SEIKO too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope it wont wear too small... I see what you mean about the wear too small ,, I feel happier with 45mm and above ,, but then i got myself a Seiko 6309 , I think 42mm and it is really nice , doesnt feel small ,, so I think it will be ok , the bezel looks thinnish so may appear larger ,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baxter 6 Posted September 14, 2013 That seiko is nice but i find some of them really gaudy around the bezel and dial area .... look like they were produced by no fear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was on Ebay of all places ,, I was just searching divers watches and there it was never heard of them before so did a quick search ,,, it was at £100 so I asked the guy do you have a BIN and he said because of the damage (crown stem) he would take £250 ... I have been using it no problem ,, but will still sort it out ... I work at times near the factory in Germany so may take it in myself.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baxter 6 Posted September 14, 2013 Nice one ... i'm going to start searching and researching ... i can see a new strain to my obsession developing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSav 2 Posted September 15, 2013 That Pradata looks like it could be interesting too. Wish they'd hurry up and post some details of the watch face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted September 15, 2013 As good as reps now are, they've nothing on a well made boutique, given the price a lot of the new "super reps" are, $400-600 you can get some really good boutique stuff for the same outlay with warranty, water resistance and without the worry of customs. Shit, I sound like Balad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSav 2 Posted September 15, 2013 You are 100% correct James. After the next Obris Morgan arrives I'll be getting another Steinhart or 2. It would be interesting for members to post up other boutique manufacturers. Just to help my obsession a long a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
