Steve...The reason i mention Oris is
1.They do seem a bit cheaper than Omega/Tag.....you can get an auotomatic Oris £400-£700.Omega and Tag are more expensive.£1000 upwards.
2.I quite like the design of the Oris watches i've seen,the Tags i'm not so keen on,and the only Omega's i like are in the £1500 upwards range.
3.As for Rado and Tissot.....i cant say i've seen anything i like.
Anyway,my only worry was the movement.I know Oris may not be "street cred" but personally i dont care.If the movement is OK,as you seem to imply it is,then i may check them out further.
Thanks..Paul
btw...what i REALLY want is a Blancpain fifty-fathoms,but they cost about £5000
......maybe one day
