I like it. Interesting collaboration. Being a denim snob, Momotaro is good stuff.

Actually didn't even realize what Momotaro was Todd, and was guessing
it was a race team possibly. :) But after checking out your link, get it now,
and see what you are saying. It really is a cool partnership, and helps make
an already eye-catching, and unique watch stand out that much more !
There is something about the green, gold, and stainless with the blue
that really works. It's really is nice ! 8-) ..Liking it too !!!

Thanks a lot for the news about it Todd !

I like it too. Any opinions on the movement?

Isn’t it just the Usual Sellita they stick on all their 65’s?

I like the watch, but hate the strap.

You can buy it directly from Oris and receive a Momotaro denim tote bag as well. I think the Oris website states it will ship in 2-3 days.

I considered this one as I like the dial but am hesitating as I have the Red Bar model which is the same watch with a different dial and strap. The movement is a standard movement. Nothing special but if you register the watch online at Oris they add another year to make it a three year warranty.

Momotaro denim is epic. But this strap doesn't work for me on this watch. Love this dial though. I'd buy it.

I’m tempted if an AD gives a discount. Don’t want to pay that for a 65. They sell low

I agree. It may be worth a call to Topper.

I just saw a green dial, bronze bezel 65 for $1050 on WUS.
The dial is a bit different and it comes on the bracelet.

Same here. When this shit is over we need to hold an old fashioned LI GTG. I like the strap as well.

Blue & green should never be seen but green & blue will always do. That's a saying worth remembering fellas.
Unfortunately, green is a hard colour to get right and on that dial I'd say it's just the wrong green.
Scrap the strap and darken or brighten the green, apart from that, it's not a bad looker.

Like the 65 but wish when they do these they do something to the movement or WR..
Seems standard Sellita with 38 hr power reserve- $2200 MSRP.

I don't love the strap..

I’ve been wanting to try a 65. Really wanting.

But just can’t pull the trigger. At the beginning it was interesting. Now it’s just another variation on a combination on a variation. It’s like garanimals.

I can’t see buying these new. Used is the only way to go.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said

I agree with your comment on the price. I sold mine when I knew I was going to get the BB58. Still would like to add one back to the rotation, but at around $900 in the used market, I can't get myself to do it.

That's a beautiful version.
I also tend to balk at buying a 65 new. I don't know why. They're equal to anything else for the price.
