according to another forumer, it is an 93250 oyster sel bracelet (better check with the seller). If so it should be able to fit your gmt2 16710, since the spring bars are the same.

Original bnib is like that one lah...

Bambino is great affordable dress watch. Two versions iirc... before 2012 & after 2012. Better movement and colours different.

Into sports? Look at m force

Well, I'm actually looking at a simple dress watch that can be worn by a lady. Will go check out bencoolen when I bring my watch go replace battery.

WOLS on my part but the blue dial Orient Star is indeed gorgeous, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Very nice size too

Why are orient watches so much cheaper than other brands is it because of the movement or..?:s11::s11:

Orient is essentially a "mass market" watch like Seiko. That doesn't mean that it's not a good watch. There's a lot of factors that go into a watch RRP, such as marketing cost.

Orient watches use in-house movements.

Why is it so cheap? Nothing to do with quality. Probably because of factors such as economy of scale, less labour intensive (like more automation), less marketing and aiming at a different market altogether.

That being said, Orient does produce watches costing several grands. Check out the Royal Orient. That's in the Grand Seiko league.
