Watchlords

Crisp, white dial with blue, Breguet-style hands. Black numerals reminiscent of some higher-end/mid-range Seikos. Crudely decorated, hackable, hand-wound mechanical Orient cal. 48C40 movement with power reserve indicator. Domed, sapphire crystal. 40mmx13mm polished case.

Just your every day Orient, not a Royal or a Star.







Found it here at LIW (https://www.longislandwatch.com/Orient_ ... 03003Y.HTM)

The villain approves.

That's a funny looking hand crank movement. Unlike others I've seen. Usually the winding gears are visible. Like so

It's Orient's proprietary gear-less mechanical movement. Winding the crown wakes up three magical fairies, all of differing genders. When sprung into action, the fairies each begin to move a different hand. The power reserve hand is moved by the gravitational pull of the moon.

Not bad for the price.

You've been reading too much Hodinkey.

Those hands...

Damned nice watch for the money.

Looks nice, I'm a sucker for blued hands on a white dial. Since it's a true mechanical the power reserve is nice but it would be nicer a little smaller.

Damn nice.

Reminds me a of railroad type watch.

Nice.

That's purdy. I like it. It gives me a fairly decent boner.

As an aside, the chatter on the webz is that Orient has dropped the Royal line; I have no idea if this is true or not, since Orient has been something of a closed book in the WIS world.

Yup. Especially the font.

Yeah, the back too.
