Thanks for the comments. The Orient is a neat watch, but as a wearer, it's tough for those with smaller (6.8 inches) wrists. With the bracelet, it's EXTREMELY heavy and on strap, it's a bit top heavy....significantly more so than a Marinemaster 300M Auto. It's fun to look at the dial though! Hi Heat.

The B&M was a great choice for a comparison with the Orient. I just saw the Orient in a local shop the other day but never thought to check the price. If I had to choose one, not as a winner but as a wearer, I think it might be the Orient. Thanks for the unexpected comparison Pete. Great review. Funky yet traditional vs innovative and avante garde.
