I've been pretty quit on this subject about ORSA, because I believe everyone deserves to mess up a bit. But this is it!!! How can these guys call themselves a company? I ship better then that when I sell somthing from e-bay. What the He11 are they thinking, Im sorry but I have no good intentions for these guys. I'm glad things went down the way they did last tuesday!! Otherwise there would be a whole lot of other people that they suckered. Im sorry for you pax. :( That has to be one of the worst presentations I've seen for a watch! Where do they come  from with thier prices? I wouldn't give a wooden nickle for any ORSA now!! I'm sorry for the one's who own them. I hope they go right down the tubes! I just don't want to see any one of them try to get into somthing else that would hurt people after thier buss. crashes.

How is this for a suggestion...............engrave or stamp the case back before you bead blast it.................of course, it to the mind of a great genius to figure that out...so I shouldn't be so hard on them.

I was considering buying the Silver Anglar until e said that his arrived defective!

Personally Ken laser etching it does not matter and if the engraver is commercial duty then the engraving bit should not break.  I am making an assumption on the problem, but what did they do buy it off of TV.  I can see it now get rich by engraving in the mall.  Laser etching is cheep and engraving is the most expensive because of the bits.  Both require labor in setting up the file, but they are not that hard to create if you are experienced.  I have a set of dies that you stamp with that you hit with a hammer, but that would take the skill of how to swing a hammer, and that my be above the people in question.  My watch there is a fit problem with the movement, crown length, and case, the assembler messed up or the watchmaker.

Thanks for the pic, O. impressive... SHEESH!!

The reason they can't stamp/engrave them before finishing is that they haven't bought them until some sucker of suckers plops down the capital they lack but need to be a watch company and buy their components.

Someone should just buy them and/or shut them down...

E, what's the defect? Sounds like you're not returning it as you said your Orients will get a beater break. I would send that crap back!! You don't need a defective Orsa...

Even with all the BS and obvious lack of any CS/CR/or QC by the looks of the packaging and lack of packing skills for someone like Martin who is supposed to be a WIS ....I still like my Anglers hand6.gif I just hope nothing goes wrong with my 4 Anglers as I don't think my Warranty will be honored nowcoyote2.gif

That's what made me shy away from the Silver.  I do like the styling but I am afraid if I sent a payment, I'd never get the watch!

After getting over the urge to beat the watch into 300 pieces and figuring the best way to post the carnage, personally from my experience I do not believe that they pressure test them to 300M.  Something just does not smell right about the piece.

I am not one of those professionals or any thing, but I do believe that that water tester is only rated at 3 atm.
