'Watch worthy to own' Review by A Williams

Rating

The stock picture really doesn't justify. The watch is WAY better than it looks. Seeing it real would no doubt compel one to buy, specially if the "3D"ness is observed.

Also the model is far better and cheaper than most watch I saw in this price range.

'Nice Watch' Review by Kevin

Rating

I bought this watch a little over a year ago, and I wear it most days of the week. I'm not a high end watch buyer, but this feels and looks like I am which is nice. My only complaint is that the see through portion of the face on the right side looks like there should be a date window there. Other than that, can't beat it for the money, especially when you find a good coupon code.

'Attractive open heart automatic' Review by Rich K.

Rating

The good:
great design with a solid link bracelet, sapphire crystal, and a number of high end cues. The watch feels substantial on the wrist, but not overly heavy. The skeleton caseback is a nice addition. The dial is really nice with well crafted markers and is far nicer looking than the stock photos lead you to believe. (watch the videos, they offer a much better look at most of the watches offered here.) The size of the watch was well represented, and wears nicely on my wrist despite my worry of purchasing with no opportunity to try it on.

Value for the money! I am thrilled with the watches value/dollar ratio. Considering what I received for the money spent it rates 10 stars. Nice job OrientUSA!

Overall a really nice watch, and I already find myself browsing the catalog for my next addition.

The bad:
Not a lot, especially factoring value. Against many lesser watches in my collection, everything is top notch. Compared to my Omega (that cost 10X this watch), there are some nits to pick:
The clasp and/or end links have a bit of a rattle to them. Not a crisis, but it's there. The crystal, while sapphire, is flat rather than domed as seen on higher end watches. (though Orient does offer domed crystals in some of their mineral crystal equipped watches). Finally the movement as seen from the caseback side is all but completely unadorned. The parts visible through the front were plated and shine like gems, but the movement as seen from the back is plain. Interesting to be sure, but not tooled or polished other than the rotor which received some machine tooling.

Overall, a happy owner, and yes I would place my order again if I were to have the opportunity with no hesitation.
