Oris Aquis Regulateur Der Meistertaucher Review
It has already been a very interesting year for Oris. In their 110th year as an active watch brand they released an in-house caliber with an incredible 10-day power reserve coupled with a non-linear power reserve, a first in the industry, which you can read about here. While this is a massive achievement for the brand, it's also a sign of the mechanical watch industry getting back to a point of popularity where brands can get back to their roots. Oris is an old brand, one that for many years produced everything including escapements, in-house. The Cal. 110 is cornerstone in their rebuilding of that brand.But, for most of us, Oris is a brand about accessibly priced Swiss-made mechanical watches. They are far from the least expensive watches out there, but more authentic and unique than many other retail brands they compete with.

Another ¡°My Dad¡¯s¡± Rolex and Japan RSC inflexibility..
So below is my Dad’s Date that I bought him for his 80th birthday. Had it engraved on the back from me. He passed away three years later and it was passed along back to me.I had it serviced just under 6 years ago at the RSC here in Japan. Quite expensive, complete overhaul and new clasp.Fast forward to today. I finally decided to change the white Arabic dial to blue Arabic. £¤42,000. Found out the price in a catalogue at an AD. It took me so long to finally decide to change the dial because you know it is my Dad’s watch and I didn’t want the RSC to take the white dial as they often do and not return it. I was assured by my buddy who works at a grey that they won’t take it. So I race down to the RSC today on lunch break with my Dad’s Date.Yes they will replace the white dial for blue and they will return the original white dial. £¤ 42,000.So far so good. Then the counter person and then later one of their watch repair people both INSIST that I must have it se
