Hello all!

I'm Phil, and I just ordered my first Orient - the CEM65002D, Blue Mako.  UPS says it's arriving today, but I'm stuck in the office and will likely have to make the trek to the UPS office (20 minutes aways) to pick it up tonight.  I came across the Mako when looking for an affordable diver.  The SKX007 almost had me, but I decided to keep on the hunt for a Samurai.  The gf saw me looking at someone's CEM75002D pictures and told me to get that one.  I decided to get the 6500 hahaha But I've got my eye on the black 7500.

Other watches in the stable:
Ball Fireman II (green on a bracelet)
Lum-Tec C4
Tat lefty homage (on the way)

My first Orient is a Blue Mako also, it has to be the best value for a watch period.

Welcome to the forum Phil.  The "Mako" triggered my enthusiasm for the brand.  You have made a great choice and a great companion in the "Mako"

Don't stop at the Mako.  There's much more in the Orient stable....and a lot nicer too.  Not that the Mako is shabby.
