Actually I have one in stainless on the way from Island Watches... This is the lowest price I found for it.... Orient USA does not have (at least I cannot find on their website).

btw... the SS model was only $300 USD from Island Watches... and they are a AD for Orient, so full warranty.

My first Orient arrived last week.

Two issues were evident.

The dial is clearly a deeper blue than advertised and since I have problems distinguishing dark blue and black, the white dial would've been better for me. The second issue is the near invisibility of the hands in a dark room, even after substantial time outside or under a bright light. I only get a few short minutes visibility of the hands and dial, then poof! It's gone!
Other than those two issues I'm quite happy with the watch!

I have the Orient Sky model. I had been wearing a Seiko "Black Monster" and a Debaufre Airforce Orange ( at the same time ) so I was a bit spoiled by their lumes. Of just those three, I give the Orient the best mark for it's fit on my wrist...perfect ( after a bit of adjustment naturally )

Overall, I'm quite happy with my first Orient and just may do another..

Actually, I have one... purchased from OrientUSA for $187. Nice but big watch... the 469 movement is very accurate.

Hi Bmaben. If you check my post for the Orient SK Crystal world time watch I bought this watch from http://www.retro-watches.co.uk. He has several models on ebay at around £68 sterling which is ridiculously cheep for this watch. Mine is the world time version but there is also a divers version in various face colour's. They are all stainless steel NOS. Hope this helps. Brian
