THIS ARRIVED THE OTHER DAY FROM JAPAN .......as that was the only place I could find it .....Marc could apparently get the black version, but I wanted yellow, so after finding a link on a 3T thread I saw that there were 2 dealers in Japan that could get me one ....after converting yen to dollars and trying to install a Japanese word converter on the computor..... all there was is waiting the 2 weeks it takes for process , customs , shipping , etc ...................You can buy one of these for around 1K shipped ........I wanted to compare this Orient to my "hacking" Seiko and German or Swiss Divers .... At first glance the bracelet was what I thought it would be ....Nice .... but nowhere near a Stowa or Marathon or Omega or Doxa, etc, etc ............The fact it didnt wind or hack bothers me ..if your gonna spend a grand I thought it should "hack" !!!!! But it has kept good time so far (+ 6 sec in 24).... I know you may be asking why I didnt do my research if Im gonna spend a grand ..... but I was sure there had to be a reason it was listed at 1500 bucks ......I like the power reserve a cool feature & the fit and finish is excellent ....I repeat excellent .....the bezel is fitted and slides to perfection and the face and numbers is all done with fine detail .......The lume is tremendous ....Like a Doxa or Omega seamaster !!!!!! The crown will find its spot eazily and screws perfectly down .....It is well built and kinda heavy .....I have taken a few bad pics for you to see ,as I will find time to do better later
