Guidance sought - Oris Aquis Upcycle.
So, I am thinking of buying an Oris Upcycle Aquis 41.5mm and am looking for thoughts & experience of the forum collective. I have been following eBay and complete sets in good condition seem to be selling for about £1,500. There are cheaper ones available but they are either in poor condition or do not have the full compliment of links. I am fortunate enough to be able to get a minimum of 20% off in Goldsmiths (possibly a little more) so, for an extra £100 or so, I can get a brand new watch.
The questions then are, does anybody on the forum have/ or has had one of these. This is followed by what were the thoughts around ownership.
I know these watches are a little Marmite but I like them and think that the dial is fabulous.
Thanks in advance.
James
Guidance sought - Oris Aquis Upcycle.
I bought my Mrs one, new, about 2 yrs ago from AMJ in Newark.
It was the 36mm but same principle.
The bracelet and case finish are excellent. Hefty but really well put together.
A few months ago the second hand fell off.
Repaired under warranty in about 3 weeks.
The crown constantly unwinds itself.
If she wears it for a few weeks without me checking, it is totally undone and “popped” out.
Make of that what you will, but I will be replacing it soon, as expect it will get flooded when she next jumps in the sea, or a hand falls off outside of warranty.
