My first Orient Star

Post by chriscentro » 08 Dec 2012 23:15

Hi

I've bought my first Orient watch today. I went to the Big Time to check out the Bambino and Seiko SARB series watches but ended up buying this beautiful cream dial watch. It's love at first sight!
Here are some quick and dirty pics.

Orient is well known for their mechanical watches. Accuracy is very good, sometime better than the SARB series.

I bought mine about a year ago. Like the classic look.

Totally agree with bro tankbustaz.
As long as you are happy with it, don't worry about the price.
Mine was around $650. Got it from Higuchi.
Wear it in good health.

Very nice indeed bro. Is the model DX0002W?

New OS skeleton model. If I am not wrong, the PR is 50 hours. Only the Royal Orient has 50 hr PR.
