Just hooked up with Ron for lunch today and this is what I snagged:

First Orient IMG_2980
First Orient IMG_2978
First Orient IMG_2977
First Orient IMG_2976
First Orient IMG_2975
First Orient IMG_2973
First Orient IMG_2972
First Orient IMG_2971
First Orient IMG_2969

Pretty cool to be living near several guys that are into watches....and are here on this forum as well as other sites. First impressions of this watch.......Surprised at the look, feel, weight and build! It is a 43mm wide case and it's about 13mm in height so it does fit beneath a sleeve. It's a non-hacking, non-winding auto movement with power reserve. You shake it up like a Seiko. So far, it is running on time from a non-measured look. Just want to say THANKS to RON for having this one available!

What a Super Orient you got there John ! First Orient Icon_biggrin Looks
like there is quality at every turn with this watch. From
the clasp and bracelet, to the case and dial. It's neat
how the numbers, along with markers were done. That
smaller circle in the middle is extra nice. Plus the sub-
dials are set up really well also ! First Orient 803574 First Orient 803574 That bezel
is very unique as well. While the movement there, is
TOO good !..Congrats sir, and it's cool you guys got
to meet up !..Enjoy that one ! First Orient Icon_smile ..Great pics as
always !

Great snag; a friend of mine has it as well, pretty hefty bracelet, cool dial layout. Love the black/orange combo!

Thanks Guys! It was just my luck that Ron had recently posted the watch for sale. We got together ( as well as Christopher and Alain) this past Sunday and I asked Ron about it and we decided to do lunch today and .......................now you know the story!
