Ztech Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Congrats! That's a nice watch you got there. I've owned an Orient Star 300M for several years now and it's one of the best bang for the buck watch out there. Enjoy yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjenk Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 The Big Mako or the "Hogrider" as it is known on WUS is a very nice watch and reasonably priced as well. I just sold mine to fund another gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Nice watch. No harm in posting "other" watches. There are numerous Seiko fans here, and Orient is like the step-child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Nice one! Orient make some pretty nice dress watches too. This one looks like it's taken some styling cues from both the PO and the DSSD. Do you mind me asking what it retails for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preach Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Thanks to all, really a nice reliable watch, @mastrmindalliance I paid roughly 120 Euro for this watch, worth the money, Regards, Preach Edited February 22, 2010 by Preach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody99 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 The first "nice" watch I ever bought was an Orient automatic. Both my brother and I bought them and wore them as daily watches for many years. That was 37 years ago! I still have both and they are working just fine. (regular servicing of course) So no matter what you may think, an automatic watch that lasts over 30 years with regular wear is a well made. Can't post an pics as I am in Miami and these watches are back in Alberta. Glad to see yours as it looks great. Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one was for 45% off and the retail price is $250. I purchased mine with a 50% off coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Last time I checked the 50% off coupon it still worked (lastchance50). This was a week or two ago, and it was "supposed" to end in 2009. I prefer the original sized Mako, but that's a nice watch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotch Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Nice watch! I got a blue mako myself from the orientusa website when they have the 50% coupon code (not sure if the code is still working). I love every bit of the blue mako and am considering getting the big brother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Orient watches are great "bang for your buck" timepieces I just might have to pick one up one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther917 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I've always been a big fan of Orient....I dont currently own any b/c of my current interest in the rep world. I once owned an old Orient King Diver that I gave away.....I sure do miss that watch though and after seeing what they are going for on the bay, wish I had it back....ha! If anyone has any used Orients or really any decent Japanese dive watches: Seiko, Citizen, Orient or even Zodiac, please PM, I think I might just like to have one or two in my box again. Needs to be at least 42mm for me and the taller and thicker the better.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
