So I ended up selling my Artego and a couple other mediocre pieces...and with the funds I was able to pick up this new Orient Star Air Diver aka Revolver, in yellow...It was actually between this, the new Steinhart gmt, and the Seiko Sumo.

I decided on this one because I wanted a sportier more unique look than the Sumo and Steinhart.  I also bought a Seiko a couple weeks or so ago, and since I never had an Orient, I decided to try it out.  The posts of this watch on the forum also gave me inspiration. 

The fit and finish are fantastic, very comfortable on the wrist, and the lume is great too.  This one is a keeper...on to the pics...the dial also has a slight metallic hint to it that you can't see in the pictures

Thanks everyone.

I tried it on a couple different straps, it looked good on a rally style, but had to put it back on the bracelet. 

I wanted to try out a rubber strap, but every time I get one it is too long, and the tip of the strap end up sticking too high up on the other side of my wrist, it doesn't look right.  Anyone know where to get a rubber strap that is shorter than the standard?  Thanks in advance...

Got that nice timepiece a few weeks.

The only thing that bothers me is the non-hacking movement.

But all-over - nice Orient.
