The Watch Thread - Part 16

[dominicwor2]

I really like this design, but feel that Orient dropped the ball a little on the details - dunno if the original King Diver was also like this, but the rotating internal bezel should have been screw down.

I kept bumping it when wearing it, and cos a bit OCD, keep centering it again, then it gets bumped again...

same issue as the polaris.. inner bezel also not screwed down, don't know what they thinking..

It’s my first purchase. Waited 2 months or more. I guess this would be the lesser popular models ? Those popular RO models such as the 15500 and 152020 and all the blue dials I never consider for that.

wooo not a very long wait...
AP will be be my nxt target...
hopefully 3 years later i can post an AP watch hoot...
either 15450 in white or 26315 in white dial & blue counter...

I’m sucker for kanji daywheel, this one 3 characters even better!
Design wise very close to original
I think the non-screwed down crown is as per original design, probably applicable for all vintage super compressor style watches
Same for my Dan Henry one
Only my Zelos one is screwed down crown

Polished so much until the spring bar exposed. Hopefully people will take note on those older models with lug holes.

Not entirely sure this is polishing or just a case of faulty spring bar or spring bar too large though. The lug hole models need a special spring bar, so it's entirely possible that some uncle lost that spring bar, dunno where to buy, and just use a spring bar that is too large to keep the bracelet in.

That's not polishing already, it's more like grinding, so much material gone.
