Orient CDH00001B Explorer Review
It's sort of a general rule of thumb that mechanical complications increase the price of a watch. If you look at a brand's catalog, their chronographs, GMTs, perpetual calendars, etc�� (should they have them in the first place) cost more than simpler 3-hand models, and understandably so. As the name implies, complications increase the complexity of the movement, which, generally speaking, increases the amount of parts, labor and skill required to make the movement and thusly increases the cost. So, when you're perusing the internet or a local shop and you come across an automatic GMT with a power reserve and decentralized date by a reputable brand, you're likely looking at something that costs at least $1,000, more likely much more. Well, Orient once again defies pricing logic with their CDH00001B �C Explorer, which costs $650 MSRP, or $455 with an Orient 30% discount code (try fall2012).So, what is the Orient Explorer?

Just Won Auction
I'd like to ask for your opinion. I just won an auction from Fellows Auction House in the UK. The item I won is the Omega Seamaster Chronograph Olympic Series London 1948. What is the value if this watch as I won it for $2,350. Any constructive comments welcome. One thing I didn't like is, it said that the hour hand could not be verified due to time constraints but the movement is operational. I said to them how can you not verify if the hour hand works yet you're supposed to be a reputable auction house. He gave me some song and dance about how many people they had working for them how long it would take to verify if the hour hand worked blah blah blah. My feeling is they should if they're putting it up for auction test not only the minute hand but make sure the hour hand also works. Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
