Welcome to the weekend lads.....enjoy it! I desire that watch, Russ. I'm back, I think. These antibiotics are like sleeping pills. So I've been sleeping all over the place! Orient GMT today. I have the bracelet for this somewhere, but I can't find it! This NATO will have to do. This is from the days when Orient made solid, cool watches. It has two signed crowns, and both the setting crown and the internal bezel crown are screw-down. Great looking Orient, Dan. The fact that both crowns are signed and screw down is a nice touch. Just curious, is it your contention that Orient have dropped a few notches in the quality department? I always figured them as the leader in bang fer the buck.

Yes, in my opinion it seems the quality has gone down some in the past 20 years. If you could handle and wear some of the one I have from the early 2000s, and compare them to the current watches, you'd notice a difference. They're still excellent quality watches, just that the earlier ones were more impressive for the money. I also think that their styles have become repetitive and dull, but that's just a result of the brand trying to be relevant and react to current fashion. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a new one if the price was right.
