Hi mate. I have had an Orient GMT for some years, the Emperor has one identical less than the money quoted.it seems to be usual Orient quality at that Priceline. I have worn mine very little though. I am riding the bike to Bundaberg next week and may be able to find Kew whilst there.He is the Aussie King of Orients and Tony's source of some of his stuff. Cheers Phil

Thian welcome mate, I have always loved the look of these watches but finding one is the hard bit like you say. I do prefer Auto GMT's and the Orient looks the part. Cheers Mark |

I also recommend the Orient Star Seeker. To me it seems to wear larger than 42mm though. Maybe because of the extension between the 2 crowns.
These are fantastic value second hand at under $400US. Orient and Citizen both drop value second hand like a sinking stone.

I had this on yesterday, it's Kinetic, but that's kinda like an automatic, right?  It has a lot of style, with the silver indices, the textured dial, the red (true) GMT hand, the cool two-tone bezel, and the "S" on the second hand.  Very light and accurate, too. - Thomas |

Hey Mark! My NIST certified green plastic ruler says it is 41mm across the case wo/crown, about 43.5mm across w/crown, and 46 mm lug to lug. It is a Seiko SDBW011 Kinetic Flightmaster, and the case-back is cool too! - Thomas |
