'Great value! ' Review by Jason Fitzgerald

Rating

Hi, I received my new orient blue ray dive watch on Wednesday of this week and I must say that the photos do not do this watch any justice what so ever. Absolutely gorgeous watch with an amazing stunning blue dial! Good build quality at a great price so far watch is keeping good time and I feel it's worth every penny! Thanks orient!

'STUNNING WATCH!' Review by Patrick

Just received the Blue Ray yesterday, and as soon as I open the box, I was like .. O_O WOW..it's such a beautiful watch for little money! The quality is top notch! The blue dial is so amazing and pretty to look at from different angles. The watch size 41mm fits perfectly for my wrist, and the band is also a good quality one. The watch definitely looks and feels much more than its worth. I also love the day/date feature, so convenience and easy to read. The bezel is kinda hard to turn, but then I don't think I need to turn that often, so no big deal at all. This is my first Orient watch, and definitely won't be the last one!

'Exquisite' Review by James

I purchased Orient Ray for my father, and it has been perfect in every way. He loves the attention to detail in appearance and the smooth movement. He brags to his buddies his watch " just won't break" - because of their (unreliable) Rolex fetish! So, Orient may have some new customers soon!

'Cool dial' Review by Dave

For some reason, most of orients blue dials have that shimmer if you hold it in certain angles. I gotta admit it's pretty cool

'Accurate!' Review by Kash

Rating

Pictures do not do it justice. It looks and feels much more expensive than what it is but what I have been most impressed with is its accuracy.
Over the last two weeks, it has gained only 6 seconds over a 7 day week which is roughly a second a day.

First impression:
I got this watch yesterday and the first impression was WOW this is a good quality timepiece. After ordering it I was bit doubtful about the quality after reading some of the snob on watch forums. Let me tell you this watch is so much more than what you pay for. I got the royal blue color which is stunning.

Positive:
Nice heft to the watch
Good presence

Negative:
The stem seems little bit flimsy
The rotating bezel is very difficult to grip

Other thoughts:
Would have paid extra for anti reflective sapphire crystal and solid bracelet (not that the current bracelet is bad)

Note for Orient: Focus more on clean looking watches rather than open heart and crazy dials.

'Big Bang for the Buck!' Review by Scott

It's nice to know in this day and age that you can still buy a good looking quality timepiece without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars. I purchased the Blue Ray a few months back and I absolutely love it. The fit and finish of the watch and the band are high quality. When I wear it and wind it regularly, it keeps excellent time.If you want a classy looking watch and not a big hunk of bling that looks like a time travel machine, do yourself a favor and buy this watch.

'AWSOME' Review by jeffrey filiault

I cannot say enough about this watch. I was looking to add to my collection when I remembered this brand from my time over seas in the early 80s. After a short search I ended up here. I saw the ray and had to have it .The pictures here do not due this watch justice. Absolutly stunning. Looks better than some of my swiss time pieces . How can you beat the price for a hand built custom in house movement . Well you cant at least you cant beat ORIENT. Don't hesitate to buy this one . It will spend more time on your wrist than in the collection .Heck I liked it so much I ordered 2 different watches and would have ordered 5 total if they went out of the other three I wanted .TOP KNOTCH JEFFREY
