So far I've found that most folks don't like these. :? However, I'm trying to decide between these two for my next major purchase. I think they're way cool and totally original. So which do you like better? Orient Star Retro-Future Bike:  Orient Star Retro-Future Bike model WZ0071FH Orient Star Retro-Future Camera:  Orient Star Retro-Future Camera model WZ0031FH |

I like both of them. Which one would I buy the black dial and that is just because of the bezel, and I got real sick on butter scotch one time when I was a kid. I am not saying that makes any sense. |

I like the black - I saw these last year at the JA Show in NY. Orient (Puritime) was there and they were showing these models. . . don't know why, since they weren't up for US export yet. Marc |

I'm usually not a big open heart fan either, but on this watch it works for me. I hate the psuedo-elegant tourbillon-wanna-be of most open hearts, but in these designs they are presented as part of a machine, which is exactly what they are. :) KenC wrote: I'm not an "open heart" or skeleton fan, but that is one awesome case and bracelet.

I vote for the YELLOW dial. The black case is cool, but I think the yellow is nicer all around. You could put a strap on it too. |

I like the yellow. The watch itself has a lot of "pop", and the yellow just highlights it. I like the exposed crown shaft too. A pretty interesting design. Might have to look into these myself!:dude: David |

Like Mark said I've seen these about a year ago and thought they were kool then and they still are and if I were to buy one it would be the one Deid put up (The Black and red PVD) excl. that ugly strap............................... Good luck on either one because you cant loose |

Who's "Mark" (with a 'K') ??? :D:D:D |

Well I'm Mark with a "k" but I haven't chimed in yet... I like the black dialed model here but can see the merits of the butterscotch. Are these things priced reasonably? If so, collect them all, trade with your friends... Pax (Mark) IW wrote: Who's "Mark" (with a 'K') ??? |

They're actually a bit overpriced in my opinion - $500.00 to $600.00. :shock: But that won't stop me from getting one.:D Dan:) |

I think for that price I would hope for deep discounting before snagging one... That's me though and I am fairly dense... They are unique fershur. Pax Zeb wrote: They're actually a bit overpriced in my opinion - $500.00 to $600.00. :shock: But that won't stop me from getting one.:D |

This is just me but at that price I would buy the black. The case, bezel, and braclet are a little more my liking. |
