Hi folks, yet another Orient. I know nothing about this watch other than I love the shape and the bracelet.It isn't pristine by any means and I did toy with the idea of polishing it back to new condition, but I have changed my mind. It is obviously quite an old Orient with a lot of history so I think it will stay as is. The watch has a fantastic dark blue face and although you can't see it in the picture, the crystal is faceted and in very good condition. Do you think I have made the correct decision by not polishing it. Cheers Brian

I would say you made the right choice! The way it is adds character. How old is it do you know?

Hi Jack4, I would have thought this watch would be from the early 70s I love the shape of the case but to be truthful I bought it for the unusual bracelet which is original never ever seen one like it before. Brian
