Horological Meandering

Just got this for Christmas

I have one on a bracelet and the value is undeniable.

I did want to get the bracelet model but was afraid of the rattling some of the cheaper bracelet make.

The end links are not solid (but then neither are the older Rolexes) but the rest of the links are solid. The clasp is decent and comfortable enough as well.

The strap is still stiff but it will probably break in a few days.

my black cased OS with black bracelet has solid end pieces and is an accurate watch albeit only 37mm. my 'Somes' model with brown dial is excellent with a strap made by Somes the saddle makers. i keep looking at the 200 and 300m divers, but dont need anymore dive watches. what i would like is their 55th or 60th anniversary handwinds. either model with display back. the only thing that puts me off the mako and some others is the push button date change that sticks out. too easy to push accidently i think.

enjoy it as it is excellent value, fully in-house and quite well built. Graham

The pusher actually screws down for wr's. And I'm starting to find it to be a useful function lol.

I have an Orient Ray and its one of my favorite watches at the moment, great design, details, day and date, very low key, try to get a bracelet for your piece, they are super comfortable.

A great Christmas present, no doubt - congrats!
