Orient Dress Watches: The Best Budget Option?
Some believe that the cornerstone of one's timepiece collection is a fine dress watch. Others, however, may prefer spending their hard-earned cash on rugged sport and tool watches that don't really work under a shirt cuff. Enter the Orient Watch Company. If you're a guy who doesn't wear dress watches all the time, but you're in a pinch and need a classier option, there aren't many better options for a dress watch with these requirements, at such an attainable price.So even if you are a tool watch guy, you will nevertheless inevitably find yourself needing to wear a dress watch once in a while: for a sister's wedding, a job interview, or accepting an Oscar at the Academy Awards �C okay, George Clooney gets his comped by Omega, so never mind. That G-Shock or 18mm thick dive watch isn't going to cut it with a tux.

Another Daytona to AP RO thread...
Hi everyone,I never thought this would happen but I'm slowly being drawn into the Royal Oak models, particularly the 15300 and/or the 15400.I have half a mind to flip my SS Black Daytona for one, and wanted to get some thoughts on this.

Interest free instalments to fund a watch. Would you take it?
Would you personally prefer this method?Basically a cousin of mine wants to sell his BLRO. I have considered buying it off him.He has offered to make the payment method easier on me if I like.
