Fun diver choice ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Iโ€™m finally taking a much needed beach holiday ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿน and I feel like making myself a little present. A fun, maybe colourful, diver. Iโ€™m hesitating between the Serica 5303 and the Oris Diver Cotton Candy pink. Thoughts and experiences with either?

Safe travels, brother. ๐Ÿ‘

Which one do you see yourself wearing outside vacationing? But if you're fine with having "a nice weather watch" these are both excellent choices. The pink works with white, linnen and most summer wear and the serica is easier to wear and a bit more save. I say, go with the one you're more drawn to. That will be the one for you. ๐Ÿ’ช

I see pink ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’• (but yes outside of vacation, the Serica, thought most of my watches are โ€œseriousโ€, I think) Iโ€™ll probably wear the Oris in NY summers

ยท

Love the Oris.

The OEM pink strap isnโ€™t that good. Not substantial enough for the weight of the watch. It sort of folds over the weight of the watch.

Get a nato or something else to put it on.

Thanks. I like that nato! Where is it from?

Guess you have your answer ๐Ÿฅณ

That pink Oris is lit ๐Ÿ™Œ, but I'd be mindful of where you'll be traveling to. In the case of Mexico, I would probably go with the Serica. Enjoy your vacations ๐Ÿ‘

Serica.

The serica is so unique looking. I love their design.

I would probably bring a more discreet watch for streetwear ๐Ÿ˜€

Donโ€™t even โ€ฆ the Seamaster white dial is somewhere on a list ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Oris, especially if you could find gently loved at discount. The bronze is fun. Pink will pop and is fun. Too much going on with the Serica and looks a hair cumbersome from pics.

ยท

Interesting choice between near-neutral and anything but. I think we all need a โ€œfunโ€ watch in our collection, and the Oris surely fills the bill.

ยท

Both stunning, very nice and just the right amount of whimsical. Enjoy

Yes I realise itโ€™s a starck choice ๐Ÿ˜€ though the Serica has some quirks (a bit less brazen than cotton candy)

I have my eye on a nicely discounted Oris indeed ๐Ÿ’ธ

I have the new blue Serica cosc, very happy with it. Bracelet and end links are super cool and unique, it also looks great on lighter leathers- I often wear it on a tan ostrich ๐Ÿ‘Œ. Itโ€™s really versatile, feels dressy if your in the mood and also fun and light with that bright bracelet. Iโ€™ve had no issues with the movement or hacking or crown- I would imagine this was resolved with the new cosc spec, and maybe a contributing factor for why they made the change.

Thanks for the details! I think the Serica might be a later summer contender ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I think the Oris is bronze. That being the case, Iโ€™d pick the Sรฉrica. Bronze patina nicely, but it looks awful when used on the beach. If my understanding is correct, patina is superficial, but saltwater patina goes deep and cannot be removed. I think some call it bronze disease.

Iโ€™ve had a bronze watch and itโ€™s done ok. Mind you I rinse it off after each beach swim.

Iโ€™m not sure what other watches you have but, if you feel โ€œin the pink,โ€ pick it up.

Think thatโ€™s the ticket, that pink and bronze is a banger of a piece.

ยท

I'd get the Serica but with the crown at 9pm (you can choose 3 or 9 o'clock crown option).

ยท

Seems the tally is 7๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท vs. 11๐Ÿ’– I think Barbie wins (possibly not a totally fair poll on my part ๐Ÿคญ)

ยท

Serica !! So I can vicariously live through you ๐Ÿ˜‚

ยท

Of the two definitely the Serica. I would have thought the D65 would get much use after the holiday.

ยท

Definitely Serica.

The Oris is fun, no question, but Iโ€˜d reckon it can quickly become too much, or one would get tired of it, after wearing a couple of times.

The Serica, while quirky, in this colour combination itโ€˜s much more restraint and versatile. Yes you can wear it at the beach, maybe pairing it with a fun colorful nato. But throw it on a navy or dark chocolate leather strap and you can easily go into a boardroom with it.

ยท

So the Cotton Candy Oris won ๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŒด
