Marc I am so sorry, I got up and kicked you in the teeth first thing this morning before I had my coffee.
I don’t think anybody here will dispute the Quality of Orient watches or the Character of either Marc or Mark being discussed here.
This really never was about whom I bought it from, who sells what or who services what, It was just (supposed to be) a “bitch session” about going without a watch for two months only to get it back just as broken and then find out even Little IW could have fixed it just by banging it on the kitchen table a couple times.
I should have worded my first post better to begin with and we probably could have avoided all the "hemming and hawing".

@Ken
Ken I vaguely remember you had a bad experience talking to the other MarK.
whatever bad vibe you got from him aside our Marc eluded to the very nasty politics involved when it comes to doing business with Orient Japan.
I would encourage you to consider that I know most of the problem with Orient distribution is Orient Japan not our Distributor.
The bottom line is Orient Japan is in control of what they send to the US market.
So far they have been unwilling to send us anything but the cheap stuff. They almost mustered the courage to roll out the Orient Star line a couple years ago and at the last minute chicken s*&ted out. (thats right and the US distributor is still sitting on a couple boxes of Orient stars too)
There may have been some pressure from Seiko to back off so they could roll out some of their high end stuff instead or somebody may have just had bad gas and decided it was a bad omen.
This speculation is worthy of it's own topic entirely though so I will stop now..
