Can I ask why this watch company is popular?
No disrespect, I bought a new one and it seemed to have a good build quality
Yet it arrived broken and had a grainy wind up. This was a few years back, but I’ve got this lingering memory that has tainted my opinion.

Their annoying pricing model of constant 30-50% off codes may be to blame.

This has more to do with the price disparity than the quality of Orient watches. I was never a fan myself-just like this design.

Orient USA is a crappy AD. Period.

Yeah, gotta agree OWUSA is a bit off on their prices. They have them listed for over 1k. I do like the green dial version.

Wide range of styles with mechanical movements made pretty well and pretty cheap. That's why I like 'em, anyway.
