Oris Divers 65 Forstner Bracelet

Hi folks! Recently got this Oris Divers 65 40mm on a canvas strap, so no OEM bracelet. I think this watch shines on a metal bracelet and I was contemplating getting the OEM separately. However, it’s 300€ from an AD and can’t find any deals online. Reading some posts on watch users I’ve seen people fitting omega seamaster 300m bracelets into it so it got me wondering if the Forstner Bracelets for the Seamaster would fit this guy. Namely this: https://forstnerbands.com/products/forstner-model-o-for-omega-seamaster

Does anyone have any idea if this is possible?

Thanks

Can’t tell you if that works or not, but honestly 300€ isn’t too bad for a reputable oem bracelet from a good brand. Not when you consider that some brands want close to 1000 for theirs. I would say that if you can swing it it or save for it, get the oem that you know will match up perfectly with the watch.

Great looking Oris 👍

I recently got the same watch, though lucky enough to get a bracelet. Still curious if the Forstner stuff will fit this one. Have you reached out to Forstner for a comment?

Don’t know about the options but I got this on leather and tried a few to no avail. Ended up stumping up for the OEM and very happy. Would have saved money if I had just gone straight for it.

Can I sell you a couple of alternatives that will work great though? 😉

No! Not yet! But I’ve seen people putting omega OEM bracelets and even Rolex oysters on it. The lugs seem to be versatile enough to be compatible with those. Maybe I’ll drop them an email! Thanks

@that.watchguy I think there's some useful advice here about saving money by going with the OEM option, unless you particularly love the Forstner options more. This is a variation of the advice you hear from season watch enthusiasts that learn the hard way that buying less expensive watches when they really desire something higher end almost always ends up in them spending and getting to the same place.

That said, would be curious to hear what Forstner has to say if you do reach out to them. 🙂 (I don't have a D65, just a fan for now.)
