My just bought Orient Ray Raven from http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230836905499#ht_1922wt_1173.

It arrives by the 16th but for obvious reasons I hope earlier. :b

Thanks all. I'm glad I got it before it went out of stock again, since every time they have it outside of the Orient website they only have 1 or 2 in stock. Sadly it won't come with the extra goodies like if it came from Orient but saving ~$50 is worth it to me. I will be sure to post pics and my thoughts ASAP! :)

It's here! :) Literally arrived about 10 minutes ago, I took some quick shots and edited the pics for clarity/size reasons.

Due to the slightly larger size of the photos, I am linking the photo album to imgur...http://imgur.com/a/qu7WN#5

The watch is thicker (watch face glass to back cover) than I thought/looked like but not too bad. Has a nice heft to it but not too heavy. The band is quite solid and looks good.

You may notice that it has two crowns, one is a rotating one (main middle one) and the other a push button (above the middle crown). The top one is a little silly, imho, as it only changes the day of the week but I guess it is better than having one crown control day, day of the week and time.

The uni directional rotating bezel is quite stiff to move and at first I thought it was broken or the watch I got was not the one I ordered. Turns out I had to use two fingers to make it rotate (counter clockwise).
