Title: ORIS Williams F1 Team Skeleton.. appreciate your views.
Post by: erman on December 21, 2011, 11:03:05 AM

Hi guys,

Was around in MV last weekend and set my sight on this ORIS Williams F1 Team Skeleton (pict from oris website)..
Prefer the traditional watch with full dial in front, but this piece looked nice and price seems reasonable (means within my price range  :Scolding:).
Noob question, any flaws in skeleton watches compared with watches with full dial?

I've owned the previous version.

No flaws or problem compared with any dialed watch.
Please take note that this is not a true 'skeleton' watch, it's just the normal watch without dial.  ;D

thanks ck77.. having had one b4, intrigues more questions.  :laugh:
Never owned an Oris before.. what's your take comparing the brand with say.. a Ball?
any major diff between the previous version n the new one? looks the same to me

cheers!

The main difference is the added bezel and the price.
Between Oris and Ball, I will choose the latter with better build and H3 lume tubes.

Yup, agreed with CK, I will go with Ball if between Oris and Ball, but then it is still personal preference, it is better you try both on your wrist and let yr heart to decide, and not the wallet ;D

not everyone is as lucky.. for us pokai people, more on let the wallet decide first.. then only the wrist   :Blue:

agree that this watch looks special/unique.. hence the attraction  :thumbsup:

cheers!
