Upgrade my orient for a new look.

Bro. Where did you buy ur orient star and how much ? TIA

 

[pwillie]

that case is nice i hope seiko makes more or them, perhaps larger by 2mm. i have the brightz quartz Ti version of that case.

and this:

Ya, 40mm would be ideal, pity the brightz line is so pedestrian now

[Turbo-lised]

when was your last purchase that took only 5 days to deliver?

my first order way back in Apr/May took about 4/5 days to deliver, tts why was quite worried why my orders took longer n longer to arrive of late

mine also delayed..
waited for 2 days before sent out.

Gorgeous...I much prefer vintage Tudor subs to vintage Rolex subs. They just seem to have that extra "character".

the price, last i checked from official orient dealers was SGD5XX
google urself the dealer's location, got a lot.

I had an order in Aug drag beyond 2 weeks cos it was a preorder. What I didn't get is why there were no updates. In the end I emailed and switched it to something else as they couldn't give me a certain date.

Most of the time within a week la. Not too bad.

My last purchase was around July! They did quote 5-10 days though.

mine also delayed..
waited for 2 days before sent out.

ya lo~ k la maybe amdk, can afford dilly dally a bit before package and send out but ok lo~ wait a bit for straps which is assured of e quality, worth it la

its less common for sure.
in the same token, the 1655 and 6241 have plenty of character too

i think seiko is shifting to 4 main lines globally

• seiko 5
• seiko prospex
• seiko presage
• grand seiko

brightz kept for JDM. this is the latest one i hooted, a current range and its build quality is amazing (and i have a thing for solar watches)

I am planning to get a watch for my gf with a budget of around 4-5K.

Thanks in advance!

GOt a lot of choices with your budget, what style of watch are you looking at? Sporty? Dress?

If you want to get a sporty piece, I highly recommend the Tudor Black Bay 36mm!

And also, is she more into watches or into brands?

Bro working well. 3hrs of turn will make the orient PR almost 85% full.

9 hours of no action drain it back to like 50%
So I generally feel it's abit stronger with the turns than I desired. I order an electronic power plug so I can further calibrate the "on" time and drain time

ayu bro, how's the watch winder? haha!

 

[AyuReady]

Maybe asked if she prefer other stuff first like bags? If she keen for a quality time piece then I guess can go for santos 100 but i think around 6k plus or the female Rolex range.

Need more info on her hehe

Nope. In my opinion it's one of the best looking unisex model out in the market now! I like it very much as well!
