Silver dial sport watch dilemma

[ulackfocus]

I temporarily solved my issue picking out a silver dial to wear on days off - I just grabbed an Orient CEM5J006K on a one day clearance. I've been wanting to check out this brand for a while. Pics when it arrives!

I look forward to your opinions - I've been considering either a power reserve or multi-eye.

Dennis I just saw your post over on WUS guiding someone to the Orient sale. You are truly a man of action. When you said you were seriously considering an Orient you really meant it. I believe the two models are 3 star Orients, and from what I have gathered over time these are sort of like the Alba brand relative to Seiko, not quite the same level of fit and finish. That said you are still getting a decent automatic watch with in-house movement for 35 bones. Pretty good in anyone's book.

Exactly - if their lower level 3 stars are nice, I won't hesitate to grab one of their higher tier power reserve models when they come back in stock. Plus, I've noticed their stock photos are mediocre and the watches look way better in person.

Good strategy and you're absolutely correct about the lousy pictures.

I got that e-mail as well. Not sure I'm going to bite though. The last Orient I bought was way too small for me right out of the box. Needless to say I'm alittle gunshy at the moment. Even at $35 I don't want to buy something that's not going to fit. It's a shame really because I really like their watches.
BTW Dennis, that one you got is a real beauty.

Thanks, and I can see where it would be too small for somebody with 8" wrists.
