TheSav 2 Posted May 31, 2014 Not something I'd wear but I like the design. I especially like the hands. Looks to be good value for the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cogwatch 1 Posted May 31, 2014 Very nice LG. I said I might have gone for the blue, but the white looks awesome. Orient, and especially OrientStar, are great looking and great quality watches for the price. I know what you mean about the "wont-cut-your-hands finish" on so many reps. I own a machine shop and no part leaves without all edges smooth. Can't the Chinese fucking deburr an edge. I love the variety that reps give me. But, with a few exceptions, the reps I have are missing that solid, smooth, quality feel of a good gen. And I mean $150 to $700 gens, they don't have to be higher end gens to have great quality. I think I'm beginning to feel that frustration of the sharp edges, not quite perfectly aligned features, shoddy feel when you pull out the crown to wind or set the date and time, slightly loose bezels, and on and on. Again, there are a few exceptions, but the majority just disappoint in one aspect or another. Enjoy your new GEN baby!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted June 1, 2014 Orient make some wonderful watches across all budget ranges. Yep, I'm about to jump on another one unless I read about another comparable gen brand in this price range (that I like). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted June 11, 2014 This watch has now displaced a bunch in my box (see sale thread). Currently the white Air King is fighting to keep its spot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frogflyer 6 Posted July 3, 2014 That is a beautiful watch. I am sure you are enjoying it! I was very impressed with the build quality of Orient Star. I have been going back and forth on a couple of models as I would like to add another to my collection. This one has now been added to my decision matrix!

LightGeek 25 Posted July 3, 2014 It would be absolutely perfect if the would extend the seconds hand just a tiny bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cufflink 0 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) My Orient says hello!That's the one I'm hovering over! Was looking at getting one of that too but when I saw the watch in person I think the blue hands doesn't look really metallic and that spoilt it for me. The ss case gold hands/index one is nice thou.

Deviantaj 0 Posted June 18, 2015 That's a beautiful watch! I think im adding orient star to my list of affordable gens to own, I really want a grand seiko, but just too expensive for me (worth it but expensive). I just picked up my first 'real' (automatic and gen) watch myself. Laco friedrichshafen, used at $850 Canadian . I think I have the itch now too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted June 29, 2015 Still loving it. Light AR coating is a plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoveAlong 23 Posted July 15, 2015 LG, so you got me with the SARB and I finally broke down and ordered the cream retrograde. Why don't you just post a pic of your entire collection for me, so I'll at least know whats in my future! :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
