I just picked this up off eBay for $32.00 shipped. So far it keeps great time. I have never really been into the gold trim on divers but on this one the contrast is kinda good looking.

I read about those not too long ago. I actually kinda liked some of the styles. How I understand them is that they are orient movements and dials but with aftermarket cases. Does that sound right?

I think your right..

Orient movement and a Seiko Tuna like stainless case. I like the way it looks Franken or not. If I see another one in a different color I will probably pick it up as well. Can't go wrong for $32.00.

I like it...particularly the countdown rendition from 12 to 3 and the bronze inlay inside the shroud canal. This looks really mean and a steal at 32 bucksThumbsUp02.gif. Wear it in good health.

As far as the case goes Orient makes cases exactly like that but w/o the brass/gold trimmings. The Orient Beast  is one watch that had the same type case. can show a pick if you like.

Oh yeah love the orient beast. I'm looking for one myself.

Yes this franken orient is knockoff.Its nice though.
Purists would cringe at this one. LOL.

But can't go wrong for the price of a beater.
