Thoughts on ORIS CARL BRASHEAR CHRONOGRAPH ?

Looks like a handsome watch, though the 43mm size is a bit of question mark in my head.

That blue dial in bronze case is a winning combination!

I have no experience with Oris though. Any thoughts on the brand and indeed, on the watch?

Cheers

Think general thought on these is they are over priced for the brand.

Why? It is a single model watch and a quick Google will tell you all you need to know and have pics.

I like Oris watches. They can be heavily discounted. 43mm is on the big side for me.

I prefer the original carl brashear diver. Cheaper, more compact, less complicated

Good value for bronze, with other nice bronze options being Tudor, IWC, and Panerai

I like the looks of the watch but there is a lot out there in this price range.

All watches are over priced. But we buy them anyway.

OP-if you like it, buy it.

That's the point. Kind of a fau paux to make everyone go Google it to see a picture of what you're talking about.

I tried one on and I quite liked it even though I think it’s a tad too big. The domed crystal is killer!

Agree with this, much more attractive dial layout.
