That's the best looking yellow dial diver I have ever seen.....nice pickup.  Bet that one gets noticed for sure.

Great looking watch.

I really like them A lot. Mailed Mark about the USA models

But saving up for some I already ordered.

The yellow is FAB.

 

Wear it in GOOD health !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very sweet...................but at that price, I can get a couple of new ORSA 300M watches and have money left over.  Even the comparable STOWA Seatime comes in at considerably less....but not in yellow, of course!

Understand, I am not dissing the watch...I think Orient is an outstanding watch company.....I just do not understand their pricing on this one!

I agree on the fact its priced a bit high , I do see the value for the most part .....the best way is to explain it is after playing with and wearing many watches you get a feel for the qaulity that is in the watch and the fit and finish is a factor also ....you can just tell it is a quality watch....although it is not my Doxa Seamaster or Stowa for certain

 Congrats CJ on the Orient Star!  I have the same watch and it is every bit as outstanding as your review says it is, and then some!

As for comparison with the Stowa Seatime, I had a Stowa Seatime and its not comparable, yes the Stowa has a nicer bracelet but the overall finish and dial details/lume is superior on the Orient Star.  It might make a better comparison with the Stowa Prodiver, but even that feels a little small on the wrist compared to the hefty Orient (42mm vs 45mm).

I agree. The quality certainly is there. Orient is not a company that gouges, and this one is priced right in there.
