You can buy a ss bracelet......... but you are correct in assuming that it will cost you if you were to buy a replacement strap in rubber ........mabey I am partial to the Oris but I see tremendous bang for the buck......Oris has been around for a long time and specializes in well made mid price watches KenC wrote: canadajo wrote:Wow...take it easy there Paxman...check your blood pressure and have a sense of humor....mabey it wasnt funny but your quick to drop the gloves eh ?????

CJ, you know I am quick to drop the gloves when you are patronizing and dismissive, especially when pooping on my Mido. Let's examine the specs: Mido: Dimensions: Diameter approximately 40mm across bezel Thickness approximately 12.5mm Case: Stainless steel - brushed/polished finish Uni directional diver bezel with luminous dot at 12 Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Mineral crystal display back Screw down crown Water resist 200m Dial: Matt black with applied silvered Arabic and baton indices Luminous (Superluminova) dots on outer ring and batons Silvered hands with Superluminova fill (luminous triangle at tip of seconds hand) Movement: Modified ETA 2836-2 Quickset day and date Adjusted in three positions Decorated winding rotor Hacking Strap: Soft resin dive strap with double folding safety clasp and diver's extension link More on the movement: Mido utilises ETA calibres (mainly 2824 and 2836) as do many Swiss manufacturers. However, Mido is one of the few mid range watches which use upgraded/adjusted versions, thus: adjusted in three positions for higher precision than 'off the shelf' calibres high quality Nivaflex NE mainsprings Incabloc shock protection on balance decorated winding rotor 44.00mm (gents large) Band : Blue Rubber Strap Description : Oris Red-Rotor High-Mech, Mechanical automatic movement (base ETA 2824-2, 25 jewels, 38hrs power reserve), stainless steel casing, blue dial, display of hours, minutes and seconds from the centre, date at 6 o’clock, hour markings and polished hands with Superluminova inlay, screw down crown, flat sapphire crystal with inside anti-reflex coating, case back with mineral crystal, water resistant to 200m/666ft. Details on the movement: Cal. Oris 633, base ETA 2824-2, Ø 25.60 mm, 11 1/2''', bi-directional automatic winding, ball bearing, 25 jewels, Incabloc, 28¹800 A/h, 4 Hz, power-reserve 38 h, fine timing device and stop-second, centre hands for hours, minutes and seconds, date window instantaneous date, date corrector. Initial production 1982. all info pilfererd from various web sources So, I don't know which is the better. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the Mido as lessor than the Oris without qualifying it as personal preference. Ken I do think you will like the Mido with your fear of integration...of the bracelet that is... Pax Last edited on Sat Sep 23rd, 2006 10:56 pm by Paxman |
