Re: My first Orient Star

Did consider this Orient Star GMT initially, but did not quite like the internal GMT bezel. So got the Seiko Sportura Kinetic GMT model instead.

Re: Grand Seiko 1963 (2nd Generation) Review

This is what I call a "GENERATION TIMEPIECE".

Re: GS vs ROLEX

I think if SEIKO could put the word "CHRONOMETER" onto the faces of their GS maybe it would help to market the range better.

GS vs ROLEX

I do not understand why are Rollies owners so bias against the GS when it comes to comparing both? Like an article I read in their forum, this guy said that he is getting sick of Rolex watches and asked what is the next brand to get. I recommend GS, his immediate reply is NO. NO SEIKO !!! Is it beco...

ROYAL ORIENT WE0021EG

I happen to see the above model in the Orient catalog.
I checked this website on the ROYAL ORIENT but not much write-up on this subject.
Anybody knows whether BIGTIME carries it.
Can this be compared to the Seiko GS range?
Need some advice from you brothers out there. Worth getting it?
Thanks.
