Build quality is great on the bracelet, not as dressy as the 300m but it's sturdy and has a nice heavy scissor clasp too!

I have heard a rumor that a coupon code may be working in the shopping cart for the Air divers, consider this official warning a coupon code discount will not be honored or Joey will be paying the difference out of his pocket.

It's the black dial I like best. I've seen this on another Japanese website and really love it.

The bezel in a way is like the Tudor Hydro 1000.

official comment from Joey this morning about coupon codes working was "oh S@%^!!" so I guess that means he isn't paying the difference if you tried to use a coupon code!

I can't seem to find the above models at the ADs here in Asia (DRAT!!!) and I ended up snapping up the 75001BR instead

. It's a diver very much like a Rollei Sub and Seiko Sumo.

Post and pix to follow after the test drive.

can't wait for the pics!

You can't find any of the Air divers right now cuz Mark bought them all

I heard rumors before their release here that they were discontinued but I suspect it was just a general lack of availability due to Mark buying them all.

Chris, I posted pix and a review on NEW ARRIVALS yesterday. The Orient Star featured in this thread is way better than the Orient I got. The Orient Star is their mid-range line and then higher up is the Orient Star Royale.
