 After opening up the rather unimpressive package that this watch comes in, I was equally as impressed by this watch ....It is well built , almost as well built as its bigger and twice as expensive brother .... It has a strange bezel that is a little bit sloppier than I would like ... at 60 clicks it sets properly at 12 , but it gets moved out of place way too easily and thats bad if your a diver ....It has what seems to be the same movement as its brother but I cannot confirm as it seems like some strange secret kept by Orient ?!? It is information thats impossible to find !!!! I owned and really liked the 300 meter diver in yellow ( like SHR's ) but what I liked best was the stark black bezel and the build quality of the 300 ..... The bezel is obviously different , but the quality is about the same on the 200 hand6.gif
It is 42mm t big screw in crown and guard = 47mm .... saph crystal and solid engraved caseback are good ...serious lume and everybody likes that .... the power reserve is a nice feature also .....In yellow it only seems to come with a rubber strap, ... but its the same ol same ol ribbed big plasticky band ala monster  SO what I did is get a Global real thick vanilly smelling 22 mm rubber deploy to put it with .... good match :dude:
Here are a few pics

 Looks like a great way to experience the quality of its big brother at a lower price and more ...conventional...size.

Wasn't a big fan of the bezel design at first, but I gotta admit that it's starting to grow on me.  Nice pickup!

 That looks remarkably like the 300m you had before, cuz! I just am not certain I could like with that bezel. No worries... I'll see it soon enough in the flesh. That is if you don't flip it before the next Packer game!face4.gif
