"Nothing about their returns is “hassle free”. They sent me a watch with a squeaky hinge on the wristband. When I tried to return the watch noting it was defective, Orient rejected my return request noting it was ok for a new watch to be squeaky and that it would improve over time. Squeaky hinges do not improve unless proper lubrication is applied. Bad customer experience!"

Beauty of a timepiece
"The watch itself is beautiful and easy to set. It is on the bigger side depending on what you're used to (for me it's 39). Definitely a statement piece. The main thing that bothered me is the strap is backwards (maybe they were trying to be edgy?). I flipped it around so the overlap is on the back of my wrist. Now the buckle is backward but whatever, probably get a new strap anyway. Not a deal breaker since the watch is so nice."

Q&A
- Does this watch wind bi-directionally?
- Yes, the oscillating weight/rotor does wind bidirectionally.
- What's the difference between RA-AK0008S10B and FAK00002S0 besides the fact that one says "sun and moon" on the dial and one doesn't? Is one newer than the other?
- This is the only difference.
