Orient only has 1 PW. i think i know which one u are refering to.

I was quite interested in it until i saw the size,lol

And tbh, i rather get a russian molnija PW

My jeans pocket usually have lotsa stuffs...so 40mm might be just nice I guess. Anyway, are those russian molnija PW vintage PW?

I saw the orient pw before. It's a little too small for my liking as a pw.

Try hunting a Russian like CEO suggested. They have modern and vintage. Old ones can be as old as 40s but not recommended for daily use.

The slightly modern ones from the 80s or 90s are better with shock proofing.

Try searching for molnija 3603, 3602 are the non shock proof version.

Raketa also have some pw, try zenitar on eBay. He sell brand new Russians.

Cool & thanks! Will be checking ebay for the Molnija 3603. Is there a price range i should look for when bidding? Thanks again

For used, I think safely below USD80 ?

Brand new, you can refer to: http://www.smirs.com/molnija-watches/classic/?filtr=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Alright. USD80 including shipping should be the bench mark. Thanks!!
