What watch do you wear?

It is a bit busy looking, but i quite like it. Thinking of going for something a bit more subtle for daily wear. Quite like the look of the orient mako shown in this thread earlier.

Just got a citizen red arrows model in today, leather strap with red stitching. Paid £320.00 for it.

Maybe not to everyones taste but i quite liked the design. Strap is a nice buckle model as opposed to the fold over clasp design on the casio edifice i bought a whille back.

Quite hard to tell what time it is. Maybe the lighting in the pic.

Actually look very nice! I like dial is very nice with the lume all around etc. it's a step up from the premium Blue (that only has the triangle marker) and miles ahead of that 'new' one they've just released, with the old dot.

Just might pick one up... how does it wear on the wrist?

Plenty but need more info, budget, style like/dislike, any sizing restrictions?

I like the style of the Mako, so something similar but a bit more reliable (mine seems to lose a few minutes fairly quickly) and with a bit more clout (i get a lot of 'is that a rolex?' 'no it's an orient' 'a what?').

Budget around £200 maybe, I know I won't get a huge amount for that but I'm just as likely to smack my wrist on something and break it anyway :eek:

It wears very well, in fact i was surprised how small it is( normally wear a 44mm watch) lugs are quite flat but on the wrist not a problem and being so light it just dissapears i forget its even on.

I have to say, very tempting; despite my other watches, the Premium Blue is the one I wear most. In fact that's the only one I wear at night, since the lume is so awesome ;-)

Do you think the titanium finish will scratch? I mean, I don't mind wear (even on my omegas)...

For that price bracket I don't think you will be able to pick up something that others will easily recognise (or been seen as having clout) other than maybe something from Seiko, they do a huge amount of divers in that price range. Take a look at the Seiko 5 range or if you could push your budget then the Sumos.

I'm big Orient fan (currently have eight of them) and have never had any concerns in regards to how much clout they carry. I have number of friends who are massively into their watches with some VERY expensive pieces and they are actually impressed with the quality of Orient considering their prices.

If you were to consider another Orient I'd strongly recommend the Mako XL which is probably my favourite Orient (even over my Orient Star models). The new Mako USA offers much better value but probably too similar looks wise to you current watch.
