i just posted this watch at freeks the other day..........I love this watch, and have been checking the forums for them .., like you said, about 800 used.....so not that bad for what it is.....

Mark, isnt this a little big for you though, its a 46mm and very thick case, i know you kinda stay in the lower 40's usually........

I was on an orient kick for awhile and everything that I read about theses was very positive. They are big thick watches but are definitely built to take a beating. Orient movements are really good too.

With a 50% coupon at OrientUSA they are $900 brand new with warranty. I would not pay $800 used for a watch like this if I could get it BNIB from the distributor for $100 more. Just sayin'

They lied when they said no more 50% off. There is a 40% off + free watch coupon right now that I posted to the Deals section. There have been several 50% posts since 12/31/09 too.

This watch is on my short list of want-watches BUT I have to be honest. If I was going to spend $800-$1000 for a watch I would get the Oris Watches TT1 Divers Small Second, Date 64376098454MB before this one for basically the same money.

that being said, I DO LOVE this Orient -

For me this one was love at first sight. Still want one.
My new Deep Blue being so similar, should hold me for a while.

However, new price was beyond what I was willing to pay for what it offered.
Personally feel 800-1000 should be the "new" not used price.
May be why there has been a sustained 50% reduction offer for 2 months.
But what do I know?
