I decided to purchase a green Oris Aquis with a grey dial when I was in the Philippines, I had seen something similar on the wrist of a local guy and thought it would work for me too.

He was a Filipino guy, so his wrists were relatively small and whilst the watch was a little large for his wrist, the dial and bracelet really looked chunky. I thought I could have a solid dive watch to wear when I wanted something a little less discrete. This will not fir under a shirt sleeve, this for me is a summer watch to be worn with short sleeves.

So after some looking around at Shangrila Plaza in Mandaluyong, we decided to head up to Quezon City for a deal. After some internet research and an email and phone call, it appeared they were willing to deal on price. I had the price reduced over the phone based on prices I received at Shangrila Plaza.

I was informed by the shop to register the watch online at MyOris, you open an account and the type in the serial number of the watch and the details of the watch are displayed. This is a pretty good service, they also have personal details that I have cropped from the graphic and serial numbers. The watch is registered with Oris, should it be stolen then one assumes it will flag on the computer when brought in for service at an authorised service centre. This is a pretty decent service if this actually works, well done to Oris.
