Oris is a great brand, but the key is to buy them grey market or used. You can find them brand new on r/watchexchange for like 35% off retail
The same goes for many brands honestly because they’re a little overpriced by a bit or a lot for some, first hand from boutiques.
ADs give discounts in general but is a 25% discount on a brand new say, Blancpain Villaret complete calendar better than 40% off on chrono24 etc instead, for very good/nearly unworn/slightly used and from reputable sellers/verified servicing etc?
Up to the individual but that’s what you can find basically and stretch your budget a lot more.
Your 20k watch now can cost 12k when your initial budget of 12k brand new would’ve gotten you a lot less basically.
Same goes for brands ranging from Longines, Mido, Fredrique Constant all the way to Breguet etc.
