If you picked up the one for sale on the other forum by Ali G., you might be picking up the one whose actual photos inspired me to pick up my yellow dial Orient Star 300m.  Great watch!

Awesome!  Big congrats Steve!  That one is a grail for me, but I'd have to flip a bunch of watches to get it :shock:

Cheers,

It uses the inhouse ORIENT caliber 46N4A movement.  Guess I will find out if it hacks or not...

It doesn't hack like an ETA 2824-2, but you can pseudo-hack it like any Seiko 7sXX diver.  It doesn't handwind either, but thats not a big deal as it has a power reserve meter, so you always know when its close to running out (it winds very efficiently though on the wrist).

I have the same watch and yes the lume is that good.  Probably the best of any watch I've owned.
