Quartz wise, a $50 watch is no different than one selling for $2K or more sometimes, save for "name" on the dial and design there is nothing to differentiate them to a large degree.

Some Costco stores in Bay Area carry Oris watches, I'd check them out.

Oris does make some really nice watches. There were a few that caught my eye but were out of my price range. I am happy with the Bulova I picked up, granted it doesn't have the mechanics of an Oris or some other top notch brand but I really like the way it looks.
