Blasphemy! I think the Oris and CW 65's can co-exist. I recall Chuck recently acquired a CW 65 Ombre to add to his stable of Oris 65's. I admire the Oris but having bought a 65 Ombre myself about 6 months ago I must say I am happy with it and it fully scratches the 65 itch (if that is even a thing :lol: ).
Hi Patrick, I was sure someone would pull me back in line. 😊
Appreciate the C65 and know it is rightly very popular, I acquired (and quickly sold) a GMT myself.
Its just a personal taste thing, there have been some amazing dials offered on Oris recently and this edges it for me. That said Im still torn on the 65 size, feels a bit small on my wrist but I'm working on resetting my parameters/perception as there are some wonderful vintage style watches I miss out on.

Indeed you did Stephen; to my advantage. :wink:

Strangely enough I have owned, and let go, three of the H/W C65 Trident Diver, all to very grateful new owners but have still got the GMT.

Must be something in that.
