This is just my second Orient watch but it won't be my last! It arrived in perfect condition is just two days from OrientWatchUSA. Sweet!

Orient makes some great pieces. They seem to get overlooked by many. I don't know why. they make great watches at reasonable prices. This one is no exception. Congrats and enjoy.

i'm going to be brutally honest here- that watch did nothing for me when i saw it on the website.

your photos have greatly changed my perception of it. excellent photos of a really cool watch :c

enjoy it :)

Thanks for the nice words about the pics. They're fun to make.

Also, the power reserve really helps me since I don't have a winder for the autos...

For the record, I gotta dig your avatar pic! The Sopranos is my favorite HBO series of all time. Fav TV show, period.

I remember Tony once gave his cousin a $15,000 Patek Philippe (fell off a truck I think...fuhgeddaboutit) :o

+1.  Sometimes seeing some "real" pictures of a watch sells it much better than the generic, straight-on, run-of-the-mill catalog photo.  Very nice watch!  I like the Orient brand.  I have only one, but am pretty sure I'll have another eventually, especially considering their affordable prices.
