However, the history of the Orient Watch really dates back to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida, the founder of the Orient, opened a wholesale watch stores of Ueno, to the Japan. Orient Watch has always focused on mechanical watches, primarily watches automatic with its own internal automatic movements East was once a part of the?Big three?

Jumbo 1-1/2 Link Thoughts
Still trying to figure out the bracelet on this one. I acquired a 1-1/2 link a while back and have been replacing it on and off with two regular links when the weather heats up or cools down. Would love to find a good happy medium where I don't have to visit the boutique every 4 months!Here are my thoughts, which I'm hoping some of you Jumbo wearers can comment on. The 1-1/2 link isn't really 1-1/2 of a regular link at all...it's more like 1-1/3 of a regular link (8mm versus 6mm). My thought is to have TWO of the 1-1/2 links put in place of THREE regular links. My math works out to a net loss of 2mm using this set-up...which in my mind is not a combination that you can achieve easily with only 1-1/2 link in the bracelet. I'd have to spring for another half link, but it may solve the problem.I know I'm over-thinking this but the bracelet is driving me nuts without a micro-adjustment. I'd hate to have to give up the watch simply becasue of frustration with sizing the bracelet.

happiness is a newly overhauled vintage omega!
1966 seamaster. a plain jane watch, to be sure. but classic and classy, IMHO.in any case, she's running like a champ!

Speedmaster Legend..
I spotted this on a friend and really like it, he actually offered to sell me it or trade me. How much is it worth, with all papers boxex and why can't I find any of it online. This was last night and I was very sleepy so it's one of the following just not sure which one. :) What I do remember is that the dial was a creamy ivory color not a white dial. More like the one below with the black sub dials.Any of the two special or rare? One worth more that the other?Om1.JPGOm2.jpg
