    Dear ΩF

    The spring sale continues. Up for grabs my beautiful Oris Divers Sixty Five with steel bracelet (with reference number
    01 733 7707 4064-07 4 20 18). This is a reluctant sale. It has been lightly worn, and continually loses the competition to my Oris Carl Brashear, and thus it departs.

    I bought this watch new in 2015, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Even as I write, I am hesitant, as it is simply great on the wrist. However, I am being disciplined: it simply does not get the wrist time it deserves. I believe these are discontinued now.

    The case has no scratches or dings, only lint and fingerprints. The crystal is also without scratches. All marks are reflections. I apologize that these pictures are not sharp...they are unintentionally so, and are not meant to deceive.

    There are some light marks on the side of the bezel at 9 o'clock. If I hadn't looked at these photos twice and with scrutiny, I would have missed it. In the hand you would not see them (maybe with reading glasses or a loupe).

    The caseback has no scratches, and I can't see any on the lugs. Maybe there are some micro scratches visible on the back of the lugs when looked at under a loupe. I did alternate between straps/nato/bracelet in my years of ownership.

    The caseback has never been opened. The watch has never been serviced. I think it is still good for a while.

    The bracelet is sized to my wrist (which is large...it should fit 90% of folk, and be too big for about 50% of them). It does come with all extra links. These bracelets are stunning, and I prefer it to my Tudor BB58 bracelet (has a nicer taper, and the link shape is spot-on IMHO).

    The only scratches on the bracelet are on the clasp. These don't come from desk diving, but from river diving. These were made somewhere in the bottom of a river in Switzerland (I think the Aare) one summer several years ago against some rocks (I was holding on due to the current). Some may find this unattractive, I don't. To me it means 'no more stress, wear away'...

    It comes with its original heritage box. UNFORTUNATELY ( ::facepalm1:: ) due to the weight of the generic Oris booklet (its about the same size as the top surface of the box, and about 2.5cm thick) I recycled mine many years ago. Pretty dumb, right? But thats where my mind was in the mid-teens. Also, it was not specific or special to this watch. I have since seen one or two for sale for about 20CHF, but didn't bother to reacquire one.

    I am a private collector and not a dealer. This watch comes from my collection, which like most of you, is a result of a hobby that takes up far more time (and hard earned money!) than I would like to admit.

    Sale terms and conditions. For an international sale : 1100 CHF (USD / EURO / GBP equivalent) wired directly to my bank (Transferwise) account, or the equivalent in ADA/DOGE/BTC/LTC/ETH sent to my wallet. More currencies are available upon request.

    The watch and I are in Switzerland, and so F2F could happen here. Returns are accepted only if grossly misrepresented. You will get what you see in these pictures which are of a decent quality and high resolution, so I don't believe there is any chance of misrepresentation. Feel free to request any further angles etc.

    My price includes shipping and insurance to wherever you are in the world.

    I have 100% positive reviews (upon request) on other platforms too.

    All criticisms of the watch are welcome.

    Thanks ΩF for this space
