I agree. In the past year, Orient has been becoming more "fashion & trend" conscious than Seiko. Their styles are becoming too "out there" for me. I like the older Orients and Orient Stars better myself. Although Orient makes their own watches and in-house movements, "style wise," I fear Orient is starting to remind me of a Japanese Invicta.

Start to worry when Higuchi sends you your next Orient Star in a cheese yellow box!
