Glad to hear you like it too.

I agree! The bracelet and the clasp are not that great. I have seen a few heavier solid link bracelets on ebay, but they don't have solid end links either.

Hiro,
I have had that same Orient (my first Orient also) for a few months now and love it. The second hand sweeps much smoother than my Invicta 9094 (which I also love) with a Miyuto (spell?) movement. The only thing I dont like about the Orient is the band. I want to replace it with the william Jean super oyster II but haven't been succesful in locating one. Both keep great time but the Orient is "quiet", the Invicta has kind of a funny rattle when I move around vigorously but it doesnt bother me. I am looking for another "blue dial" watch and probaly will go with the blue Mako pretty soon. Not to hijack the thread but do any of our sponsors have quality solid end link bracelets?

It's a very nice watch and accurate too.

Thanks very much Daron!

My brother just picked up a WZ0091ER for me in Japan. It's almost $200 cheaper than some of the ebay sellers in Japan.

Congrats Hiro San,

You did good then by catching this out of production model.

Thanks Jimmy!

You mean the WZ0091ER, right? My dress watches are all vintage Swiss, so I wanted to get a brand new Japanese one for a long time. I thought about the Seiko mechanical line (6R15). They look great and I'm sure the fit and finish are excellent. But, I kind of wanted get a slightly unique one. So, this Orient got my vote lol.

Best,

My brother checked out four different Orient Star models in person at a store and told me how they looked. Well, I decided to go with a different OS model.

it is beautiful.

I'd love to see your vintage swiss dress watches some day, even any swiss divers you may have. You sure do have good taste in watches Hiro.

Thanks,
Jim

Congrats on the great addition. I personally like Orients to seiko or citizen's. Its generally cheaper so I can buy more watches
