Oris has taken a leap into the past and is pleased to present the Oris Divers Sixty-Five, the revival of an iconic diving watch that first appeared in an Oris collection 50 years ago. The new Oris Divers Sixty-Five shares the 1960s retro look with the original, but has been updated using 21st century watch techniques. The case is made of anti-corrosion stainless steel. The vintage-inspired curved domed glass is now made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and has an anti-reflective coating on the inside to reduce glare and increase underwater readability.Looks like it is real.:thumbsu:

No way of telling from poor photos. 

Hi oldhippy, your right about the photo but Oris do make that watch today and the seller is offering extended 2 year warranty. Combined with the seller feedback if it is 100 percent. Then that would tell me the seller can be trusted to be selling you the real deal :angel:

Whatever floats your boat, personally far too much 'bling' for me, $2000, seriously? It might well be 'real' from Oris, but it's a fake representation of mid 1960's watches.....I'll stick with the JD diver chrono, that I've had for the last 50 years.....

Ok. With that said.......I have never seen a high end watch wrapped in all that plastic. Looks like a Chinese rep job.

Oris is by no stretch considered high-horology or high-end compared to brands such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin or Audemars Piguet. They don't even compare to lower market brands such as Rolex or even Omega but they are Swiss made mechanical watches that deliver both high-quality and value.Plastic is for storage and display purposes so no scratch :)

You are correct but the term has become common between enthousiasts, to indicate anything of value. And that before considering that haute horlogerie is actually another segment yet.

Yes it is the enthusiast and collector whom in my view also that is a growing sector keeping the old mechanical watches of yesteryear alive. Thank you for reminding me

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
