1.0 out of 5 stars
Bad Quality, January 5, 2011
This review is from: Oris Divers Automatic Mens Watch 733-7562-7159RS (Watch)
I am a dive watch collector (11 and counting). I have a Oris Meistertraucher Regulator that I got from my local watch maker/Oris dealer and just love it.
Then I made a mistake. Instead of having my local dealer order this TT1, I ordered it from Amazon/ Perfect Timing. Out of the box the watch was gaining 16 seconds a day. So, off to my watchmaker to get it timed. His opinion is that the watch has been dropped rather forcefully as the main roter balance was well out of adjustment and had to be reset before it could be fine tuned. Having a spare titanium bracelet in my box I asked that he change out the rubber strap at the same time. That's when we found out that the band retaining screw that holds one end of the titanium pin was stripped.
That problem has to go to the factory because Oris won't provide parts direct and we cannot cut or drill out the titanium locally without damaging the watch. So, you ask why not send it back to Perfect Timing for repair? The answer to that should be obvious.
Conclusion, NEVER,NEVER again will I buy a good automatic watch through Amazon or one of their outlet houses. Better to pay more and have it right from the start.
