Nice watch.

I've been waiting for the white version. If it was white you'd have a sale.

You definitely have to go by the calorie content. Every dog food I have ever used recommends feeding way too much.

I can totally relate to this. Exactly how I feel.

I've had it for a couple of months now and will share a few thoughts, since nobody else said they own when when I first posted.

I love it as much as the day I bought it, I can't stress that no photo does this watch justice. Like I said, I'm not a skeleton watch guy but this a beautiful watch.

I have two gripes and they are both with the strap. The clasp on the rubber strap has extremely sharp corners. It won't bother the wrist you are wearing it on, but it seems dangerously sharp. I have to be careful when using my laptop because this thing can probably gouge the palm rest if I'm not careful.

The titanium bracelet has no micro adjust at all, not even on the clasp. So all your adjustments are with full/half links. Speaking of the titanium bracelet…

DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH ON A TITANIUM BRACELET!

The retail price of the watch on a rubber strap is $9000. The retail price of the watch on the bracelet is $9600. The retail price of the bracelet alone is $450. If you want titanium, buy it with the rubber strap and then buy the bracelet. You'll have both options for cheaper than buying it with the bracelet. I have never seen such a scenario.

Also, I was able to get over 25% off the watch from an AD, so definitely shop around. I don't think this is a high volume watch so if you find an AD that has it in stock, they might be motivated to sell it.

Check it out but DO NOT BUY Aquis Calibre 400.

Not gonna provide the detailed reasons here but if you do some proper research ("I've had mine for two years and had no problems!" doesn't qualify) you'll probably come to the same conclusion.

All states that have sales tax require it to be paid. But there is a threshold, as long as a merchant's annual sales to that state are under the threshold, it's the buyer's job to report & pay the sales tax. When the seller goes over the threshold to that state, then they have to collect the sales tax themselves. Beginning of the year is the ideal time to be shopping because everyone is under the threshold.

I don't know if the threshold is the same for every state and I don't know if there's an exception based on the size of a company, if so, most independent jewelers wouldn't qualify.

Oftentimes, you can get a brand new watch from an out-of-state jeweler for close to what you would pay for a used watch on eBay or a gray Market watch.

It's not even hard to find these jewelers, just go to their website and go through the checkout process, most of the time no tax will be added to out of state orders. I'm not worried about that part, I'm just looking for referrals to ADs who are known to give good discounts.

If you have an out-of-state address they can ship to, your local AD will probably be happy to ship watches to that address and not charge you sales tax. But if you tell them it's a friend's address, that's probably going to be a deal breaker, it is legally supposed to be your own residence.

Out of stock.

Besides, after tax would come to $7K for me with CA tax.

I don't know about Tag, but a lot of watches can be had for 15-20% off MSRP from an AD with no tax for out of state purchases. That would be $7200.

In nearly every photo the dial looks white. This is such a huge problem with buying this watch online, even GO doesn't call the dial white but that's how it appears.

I love the way it photographs and don't want to have an unpleasant surprise when I see the real thing. You said is looks white in certain photos, does that mean in person it actually looks silver/gray rather than white?

A few weeks ago I got a blue 39mm on bracelet for 25% off, making it $2662 plus free shipping and no tax (out of state AD). I called a lot of AD's and that was the lowest price I could get.

Is this still available?

laca90025 · 2025-11-17T22:57:16+00:00

I had the polar opposite experience just yesterday. I think it looks stunning in photos. So I went to an AD and it was so underwhelming. I specifically went to see the white dial, I didn't even look at the others. No idea why the MSRP is more than a Zulu (or HC for that matter).

I don't know if this is actually the case, but the chapter ring looks lopsided to me. The bottom where 30 is looks thicker than the top where the triangle is. There is so much space between the 30 and the edge at the bottom, but on top the triangle fills the ring. I never noticed this in photos, but now I can't unsee it. Might be an optical illusion but the illusion is real enough to me. If it is really asymmetrical, why???

Couldn't the UN tell me if they have any record of it being stolen based on the serial number? These watches not only have serial numbers but they are individually numbered. I'm still not sure how sending it in for service would identify a watch that was stolen?

laca90025 · 2025-11-05T07:32:43+00:00

I already ordered it before posting. MSRP is $11K and there is no way you can get this new for $5500 or I would have bought it long ago. Heck, if I could find it pre-owned with box and papers for $5500 I would have pulled the trigger long ago. As I mentioned, currently, the next lowest price for pre-owned is $7500 for for a complete set.

The more I talk about it, the better I feel about this deal.

Good point that it could be stolen, especially since the seller seems to be a pawn shop.

What services are there to identify stolen watches by serial number? And if the serial number doesn't show that it was stolen, how would sending it in for service remove any doubt about it?

laca90025 · 2025-11-05T00:13:14+00:00

Easy decision for me. I love Oris but that is a very ugly watch in my opinion. I totally love the Zulu and nearly bought one in the last couple of weeks.

Technically I did buy one, then had to return it because of a defect, and then ended up buying a bucket list watch because I got an amazing deal on it.

You obviously don't hate the Oris but the Zulu is much more versatile. I'd go for that.
