Suzie got me a factory strap even though the watch is 20 - plus years old!
My wife decided she wanted an automatic watch. While browsing, we came across a vintage-ish Oris Titan lady’s 29mm with a gorgeous blue dial and a blue rubber strap. She absolutely loved it. Upon close inspection though, you could see cracks in the strap from, well, 20 some years of age. So, we didn’t get that one. The blue dial was a hard find. But it happened, with a factory stainless band though. After more searching I found Watch Specialists Ltd., and I spoke with Suzie. She contacted Oris directly, and found that the blue strap had actually been discontinued,…but black was still available. Now I’m not going to give the name, but I had this watch refinished here (U.S.) at a fairly reputable establishment, and I asked them to locate the blue strap also. Apparently they had contacted Oris as well, and they too said it had been discontinued, only they didn’t go to the extra step to see what was available, but Suzie did. She found that even though this model is over a couple decades old, she could still get the black strap, which I think will look just as well, possibly better. She just sent me notification that she had received it, and it will be sent out to me soon and provided the tracking info. Thank you for helping me get what we were looking for.
