Orient Defender FET0N002K0 Review
If your faith in affordable watches is ever shaken (not that there is reason for it to be) you can always turn to Orient to deliver something that will reinvigorate it. Their collection is markedly diverse, which is refreshing to begin with, powered by their own mechanical movements, well made and always well priced.From the vintage styled Bambino to the rugged M-Force to the modern Disk, you'll be sure to find something to suit your style and your wallet.Of the many type of watches that Orient makes, they tend to pull off military inspired watches particularly well.

And hey as the kids get older it will give me a good excuse to buy another auto! Put yourself in my shoes and give me your honest opinion. Thanks in advance for your comments.

5078P Minute Repeater Retail Price
If you are lucky enough to buy a minute repeater new from an AD, what is the retail price? It does not seem like Patek publishes prices for grand complications like this. So, how does the customer know what the real retail price actually is?
