This does not come with the Oris 10 year warranty, as they're not an AD. I've heard horror stories about the 400 movement including Oris outright refusing to service 400 movements NOT purchased from ADs. Used to be a big Oris fan, and their handling of their promising new movement has turned me off to them.

The other comment is not kidding. Oris does not service calibre 400 movements unless they are under official AD warranty. Not even for a paid service out of warranty. Unless you purchase the calibre 400 at an AD (watchmaxx is not), then in the case your watch needs servicing in the US, you are completely out of luck. They require both a warranty card filled out by an AD AND a bill of sale from an AD.
This policy is absolutely ridiculous as it means you cannot even pay for a repair if you buy a calibre 400 grey market, secondhand, were gifted it, or lost the bill of sale. Stay clear of the calibre 400 if you don't buy from an AD. The 10 year warranty means nothing when you buy grey or secondhand. You will end up with a paperweight. I used to love Oris, and owned some of their non in-house movement watches, but this move is absolutely anti-consumer and is a stain on their brand. The Calibre 400 is also prone to issues that they claim were ironed out, but anecdotal evidence says otherwise. It's a shame, when the calibre 400 came out, I was quite excited too.

I almost pulled the trigger on a 400. So glad I did the research before buying. I wouldn't even buy a 400 at this price from an AD. Not even for $800 from an AD. Don't do it.

Thanks for the detailed gouge. I've been looking for a new non-smartwatch for work and this was on the shortlist. I guess all the more reason to just get a dirty dozen clone instead.
