Not a bad looking watch at all… had it not been gold. I do not like gold plated watches. Give me polished ss if you want to throw in bling.

I personally like Orient 3 star watches. Reliable, inexpensive, tough as nails and compare very well against 7S26 movement equipped Seiko 5′s.

The problem is that I dislike watches bathed in cheesy fake gold plating. This is the kind of plating used in watches back in the 70s and 80s that peels off and looks like utter junk after a few years. I am surprised to see Orient still using this kind of low rent plating, but then again, this is a watch that seems to be aimed at (no offense intended) low income folks in some Asian countries.

Of all the much nicer looking Orient 3 stars that Puri-time has in their product catalog, I have no idea why they decided to pick the ugliest one of the bunch? Gosh, they even have sunburst dials and prism crystal bezels that are decidedly retro-cool.

But this one? No way Jose!

Man, what is up with all the haters on this watch? Its really not that bad. I kind of like it. If I hadn’t purchased so many watches in the past few weeks, I would be all over this one!

Yeah I have to agree with everyone else on this one. Not too appealing.

This one of the least desirable timepieces by ORIENT.

There is a time, place, and occasion for every watch.

This one will be THE watch to wear if’n powder blue leisure suits and medallions make a come back.

I was actually waiting for an Orient 3 Star but unfortunately, the gold tone and non-solid bracelet are deal-breakers for me. I’m glad to see that Orient DOD is getting back on the right track by offering a unique watch that is not sold on orientalwatchusa.com. Looking forward to the next offer.
On a side note, I absolutely love the last unique watch I ordered (CDB05001T). It is my favorite watch right now and I’ve been wearing it everyday. With more DODs like that and I think I will go broke.

The end is near. Together with the less-than-stellar and subpar discounts Orient is giving out and this yellow watch DOD, this site should might as well be renamed “INVICTA WATCH SITE.COM”
