I have been looking at almost the same setup .. But made a bid on this and won so I am on a dial and crystal search at the moment. May keep the dial once I get a look at it without the crystal scratches/ and attempt to clean the rust.
Thanks man
...I'll take that as a huge, non-homo, compliment. I spend my time on firearm, watch, and vintage military jacket forums, so it's something that I appreciate.
That's a great watch. Congrats.
That’s a tough for me due to the age and style. I’d be inclined to replace that crystal and do a resto on the case. Put it on a black or blue nato or other simple strap.
Just spitballing
Thanks a ton Adam. The SW200-1 movement in it is running a little faster than I'd prefer (15 seconds fast after approximately 30 hours). IIRC, Oris supposedly regulates that movement to +/- 10 SPD, so it's a little outside of that spec. We'll see if it settles out a bit after wearing it for a few days straight.
Aside from that, the only other negatives that I've noticed is that there's a little back play on the bezel, and the end links don't fully extend to the end of the lugs. Otherwise, it's a nice wearing, very lightweight watch. The extreme taper on the bracelet from 20mm to 15mm is great. I wasn't sure that I'd like the taper, but it definitely helps with wearability.
As a bonus, I was able to register the watch with a 3 year factory warranty on Oris' website. It shows that it was originally shipped to an AD in Siena, Italy in October of 2022. I'm not sure if I'd still need a stamped warranty card if the watch needs any work during the warranty period though.
Crystal is a must , hoping I can clean the dial . Will definitely resto the case somewhat , do not want polished but more uniform than what it is now. Nato band is on the way.
I’m hoping that discoloration at the 9 can be cleaned up a bit. It’s a cool watch for sure.
Zeno Basel. Not much to say. Simple, clean look.
