Currently the TT1 divers are using modifed SW200 movements while older models had a modified ETA. So, in a manner of speaking it is a tweaked ETA... at least CJ's is. I can also tell you it is probably his most accurate watch and he can attest to that. And we are dorks who measure these things with our dorky atomic clocks!! I can't comment on the watch with the tweaked SW200 as I haven't seen or worn one.
The case work is phenomenal. The fit and finish is above reproach and is perfect in every way. Very cury and kinda sexy with sweet lugs and the case sort of thrusts the dial to the fore. Dial work is also top knotch.
The bezel is silky smooth and each click locks perfectly into place. It really is impressive and it mindless operation is very precise and really great.
I am not banging on the Scooby. I have one and I wear it quite often and do enjoy it. However, I do know the overal build quality of the watch is not as refined and well executed as the Oris. My bezel is a stiff mother. That is not to say I do not appreciate the look of the watch and it heavy duty specs. Having seen pix with the case back off I know we have a plastic movement holder (pet peeve). See more here:http://www.timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=3529&forum_id=1&highlight=invicta+scuba
It is not all smoke and mirrors and there are real resons why the two differ in price. Both are great deals at therir respective "street" prices.
I'm not sure what is wrong with the Oris bezel in your eyes and hope you'll tell us more. We all have our individual tastes.CJ's has taken a pounding and still looks great.
