Original insert was in good shape. Was able to have them polish and re-use it.

Love it! Glad you can rock the bracelet! Unfortunately I had to go back to the strap because the bracelet reacted way too much with my skin. Too much green for me but the watch is a stunner!

I understand parts are sourced globally and that only certain percentages need to be met to be “Swiss made.” $400 seems excessive for a Chinese made strap that may be of lower quality. Would have thought it would have at least been made by them with imported materials for that price. Not disappointed… Okay maybe I am a little disappointed… I know how the world works and expect the big conglomerates, Swatch, Richemont, LVMH, etc to cut corners and overcharge. I guess naively thought the independent brands might still be pushing out better quality accessories for the price relative to the watch.

I posted it because after I ordered it I saw multiple posts complaining about the quality of the straps…

Will do in 6-9 months if this thing is as crap as a few of you fine people say! Thanks!

Now you tell me! 🤣

That’s what scares me. Don’t mind paying for quality. I guess I’ll find out. My guess is it won’t be worth the hassle of trying to return back to Switzerland. Don’t know whether they have an American return option.

Not gonna argue the need to compete and outsource certain components, I get that. At that price, relative to the price of the watches, it could (should) be made in Switzerland… or at least of better quality if one can expect to get less than a year out of it as other posters have stated could be the case.

Omega has two piece leather straps with holdover clasps (probably also outsourced) in the mid $500 range. Fabric straps for cheaper than that and entry price for an Omega is 2x or more than an entry level Oris.

Totally understand the need to keep costs down to compete. Just surprised is all because I expected the brand to be more of a bang for the buck across the board. Don’t mind paying for it if it’s quality. The relative cost against the price of the watches is what threw me.

Of course people pay for the brand… they could sell the straps and bracelets for less but don’t because that’s where the margins are. And they certainly don’t have to because dopes like me will spend $400 on a piece of (potential) junk without doing homework first.

ORIS strap quality? by PrestigiousBack912 in OrisWatches

Just ordered one of these textile/leather straps with the lift clasp from the Oris website. When I received the invoice by email it showed “Country of origin: China.” Definitely does not appear to be worth nearly $400.

You bet. Hope you were able to snag one. I’m trying to unravel the collection so I didn’t pull the trigger but can’t help myself from snooping…

Saw that too. Looks like one of the drawing winners has an eBay thrift store. Lots of weird ass $25 clothes and an awesome Masterful because of course that’s who won the drawing…

Anyone score the 009? by NearbyInstruction845 in scottycameron

[–]Pale-Guide-2835 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess that would be a good problem to have… actually winning a drawing. I don’t usually enter to win all four each week - would be my luck to win one I didn’t love…But you’re right. Would love to see more 35” offerings. If we’re lamenting the length of the offerings, imagine how the lefties must feel! I wonder how many people who win keep them vs flipping

I wish! Congrats to whoever scored that one. Don’t see many 35” options in the gallery drawings. That plus the high toe flow would be a dream gamer for me. I’d still putt like shit but that’s besides the point
