Congrats on the Orient, nice to see another one on here. An orange Mako was my first automatic:-

What watch do you wear?

This is mine (this actual one isn't it's just a pic I got off the t'internet)
Got it in 1995 so it's lasted quite well
Mine doesn't have the glow in the dark hands though. Only the seconds hand glows which is as good as useless!

Orient Star - Retro Future Camera (WZ0031FH)
They did a range of retro future watches based on various things (car, bike, plane, etc). It's a lovely watch so much detail on it.
Thanks
I do like those Divers style watches but 2 things put me off buying one:1: Big casing, ~40mm really is the max size for me.
2: Everyone seems to have one and they all look very similar in design between brands so don't stand out among the rest!
I didn't think much of the Tissot PRC200 in the online store pictures but when I saw it in person it looked a lot classier than its price suggested it would be, and the fact that it goes well with any clothing
And that's me watched out for another 11 years
Seiko 5 Arrived today but been busy so not been able to post until now.
Smaller than I imagined it would be compared to the Tissot but comfortable and will be just fine as a daily
Did it come with a bracelet?

Nato strap.
That looks really nice actually!
It appears to keep time well against the PRC200 after not being worn for a day which in turn keeps time well with the radio controlled desk clock
thats good then.
im sure ive read it has a 36hour reserve, thinking of picking it up as a nice daily.
do you auto folks have watch winders or do you just set the date/time on the day you wear again? or do you give it a shake every morning?

Any one got a Russian watch.
Here is mine.
Nice. Is that modern or 90s? Guessing it's post 1992 as it says made in Russia not USSR. Don't know my Vostoks very well.
I posted my black Raketa Copernik a page or two back, and I've got a white/silver Copernik and a Domino on their way from the Ukraine.
Its a 2001 watch.

Yep - I have two Vostoks - Russian Officer and an Amphibia. I think they're great, cheap reliable watches. The straps mine came with were gash though, so both now on NATOs.
