Understood, my Oris has about 4 different options from what I saw when shopping. But based on the model number I can’t find another store that has the leather option (possible the leather has a different model number and that website listed the wrong model number?). I was just going to pick up the metal one and throw a Hamilton leather strap on it, but that strap goes for about $75. I know I am cheap, but it is almost a hobby to buy stuff for as low a price as possible. It is almost more fun to save money then to make it in my world. Boardjnky4 we seem to have similar taste in watches. Edit: Looks like I was right H70615733 is the leather option, where the store I listed above was H70615133 ---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ---------- Anyone dealt with or have any information on: [http://www.countshop.com/](http://www.countshop.com/) They have the lowest price by far. ---

> [@bobbyg1243](#): > > I’m glad you asked me that, i have always wondered how people put up with the dial digging into your hand when you bend it upwards. Does that bother any of you? i have a spot of dry skin on my left wrist where the crown of my Oris dig into my hand. it doesnt really bother me but if i had the option to get the crown and buttons on the left side of the watch i would do it. Are there any objections to moving this thread to network eventually? not immediately… I think we should have a whole other forum for some of this stuff personally 🙂 ---

Looks like good feedback from ebay [http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=count\_shop&&iid=270667387496&sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller](http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=count_shop&&iid=270667387496&sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller) Also found a 5% off coupon for liking them on facebook Also looking like the could be shipping from Hong Kong. Probably going to buy it from them unless I find some red flags during my research since they are a couple hundred cheaper than amazon or the like. ---

hah, yeah…but it’d be more expensive too For someone that wants to look good on a budget, it’s an excellent watch. ---

Agreed. I think it would be a bit more versatile if they had substituted black for the red markings on the dial. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > :tup: ditching a citizen for an auto hamilton I bought the citizen with the idea that it would be my “beater” and I liked the perpetual calendar and solar so I would never have to reset it or put it in a watch winder. It is a nice watch for what it is, but wasn’t something I needed in the fleet. I have a titanium Seiko that I don’t even notice wearing that I have been using for “beater” purposes. I have been seeking a new Hamilton since I have a soft spot for them. My Grandfather gave me a old ship clock that is in a wood box that was made by Hamilton. ---
