Saw an Oris in the wild today

[DSJ]

On one of the attorneys I work with. Looked good. I realized it was a nice watch, but from a distance, couldn't tell what it was exactly. Later in the elevator I got a close look. I didn't say anything, but really liked it.

Nice watches for the price.

David, any idea of the model? I agree, Oris is a good value. Lots of different styles with many like the TT1 references very iconic to the brand.
I've got the TT1 WorldTimer. It's a heafty chunk of SS.

Just surfing the Oris website. Assuming it was a current model, I think it might have been the Williams F1 Nico Rosberg. Definitely had the lined rubber strap, and I don't think it was big enough to be a TT1. I'm going to have to ask next time I see him.

The Williams Racing editions are unique but slightly more traditional compared to the TT1 or TT2. The carbon fiber dials are stunning. Nice examples. The vanilla scented rubber straps are a nice touch as well.

Nice TT1 Worldtimer you've got there, Dan! I much prefer the TT1s and TT2s over the new TT3s.

DSJ, hope you can ask what model it is next time you see the guy. You said he's an attorney -- does the rubber strap go well with a suit?

I had a Big Crown before and still have a Tonneau Classic but rarely use it now as I find it too small for my wrist. Anyways, I agree that Oris are good, reasonably priced watches -- High Mech!!!

With Oris you sure do get one hefty watch for a decent price. Like the packaging with the Williams F1 watch to me is perfect, i'm one of those people who loves all the little accessories!

Dan, sorry but I don't have any pictures of the TT3 that I can post right now. The picture posted by RW16610 looks like it's a TT3 -- oval case and flexible lugs integrated in the rubber strap.
