I love the dial color.. it literally goes with everything I own.. but I would like the half moon rather than arrow pointer. overall I think it was worth the money I paid
It's an in-house movement if it's designed by Oris and made to their specs, and assembled by Oris, and exclusive to them. Anyway props to Oris for coming out with a good in-house movement, but it's just too expensive. Being in-house, servicing will have to be with the Oris AD as well, so maintenance costs will be high. I can't see them selling many of these.
Would consider buying this watch hadn't had already the 403 model. By the way, how long does it take to engage the second barrel while turning the crown ? I never saw it moving on my watch...😮
Very nice in informative review ! In my very subjective opinion : some problems with this watch - They should offer more color variations - this blue is really not my favorite and I guess will not be for many ! The case is on the higher side, even more so in relation to the dial size, the hands are rather uninspired , just quite boring ! And there is only 50meters of WR - not enough for me and again for many to consider it ! This is just not a typical dress watch but could be a good daily wearer - also for vacation. And I do not want to take it of for every little swim !! Considering the money they make us pay there are too many cons in my opinion. It is a shame and a missed chances ! But I like Oris and I think they could bring up a new version maybe next year with all these things I suggested covered - Then the price could be justified for many more people !
Hmm, aesthetically, I find the newer more expensive watch to be a step backwards. The plainer hour/minute and date pointer hands look less elegant, and the plain polished bezel is certainly less unique than the coin edge, which to me at least is one of the most handsome features of the pointer date series. That polished surface is also likely to attract more visible scratches. Honestly if someone offered to give me one of these, I would take the old model, thank you, and would certainly not pay a premium for the new one.

Agree on the pointer
It could be possible to replace the pointer with a half moon from a different pointer date.
I love this watch!!… I own it and it looks good with anything and no issues
Great. Curious, did you get any discount
Excellent video, I really like the pointer date. Yes reminds me of a field watch as well.
I’m glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching
I love the New 473, awesome movement and Power indicator on the back, maybe a Black or White dial would look even nicer
I assume they will come out with several dial colors.
There is actually one in white called the wings of hope. It’s a bit bigger and uses the automatic version of this movement though
Hi, how are you, can you tell me about this Oris Big Crown Caliber 473 watch, who would be your direct competitors?
Thank you Bob. Great review. Beautiful dial , and as you i do not like the arrow to indicate date. Not on my budget though!!
The price will be a problem for many.
Thank you very much for this review, I'm on the verge of buying this watch and this video was helpful. Hoping it wears well on my wrist.
What about this watch interests you?
For an manual wind 8 days with Power reserve, price around 10 000, so this 473 is awesome watch
I’m curious to see how well it will sell at this price.

I think you are correct.

Good question. I don’t know
Great review, Bob. Nice color way, but a bit pricey IMO.
I believe a lot of enthusiasts have the same concern.

I think they will offer different dual colors.
Thank you Bob of a very insiteful evaluation....as Usual
Thank you very much.

Interesting. I find the coin edge bezel as too glitzy. To each their own
you need to unscrew a manual winding watch?
I prefer the older designs and price tags. I wish they hadn't made the change for the in-house movements and more boring/standard designs.
I think they are trying to branch out to different designs and movements to see what takes in the marke
Quite a lot of competition in that price bracket. I’m not sure on this one. “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it”
Well I like the idea of a new movement; especially putting the power reserve on the back. But agree the price is a concern.
Very good review. Very didactic.🎉
Thank you. I try to make all of my videos instructive
Easy choice for me. I prefer the aesthetics of the cheaper one.
A nice watch also
I really like the color and the big crown pointer date in general. But too small & way too much money.
What size watch do you prefer?
Not a fan of 19mm lug. But otherwise a great looking watch.
19mm and 21mm lugs are odd.
Similar watch from IWC price is around 10 000
Which IWC watch are you referencing
@@adventureswithtime portugiser 8 days manuel wind, also Power reserve on the back
That smooth bezel and blue dial has to go. Yuke!
I kind of like smooth over coin edge bezels. Other options?
New Pointare Date looks ugly (
