    Hey, you and I have the same watch! I have one of those blue dial Orient original, discontinued divers. It's a daily wear watch that's beat to hell and still works great, but like Orient is prone to the bracelet sucked and I replaced it years ago. I have the same model Orient diver with a black face and the gold trimmed stainless case and bracelet. That one is in new condition, it hasn't been on my wrist more than 40 hours since I bought it. I bought both of them together, one for a daily wear watch and one solely for dress occasions, in 2008. Neither has ever been serviced, neither has ever been opened. Both "live" in a cheap ($40 +/-) watch winder and both run as good as the day I took them out of their packaging.

Time. so it wasn't a disappointment. So it looks like the best way to give you a watch is to buy one, keep it for way too long and send it back and say "there's something wrong with it". I'm taking notes. [wink]

    It’s hard to stop collecting them! I decided on one, the Citizen Promaster Ecodrive ISO certified diver. Then it became 2 with the classic Pepsi Turtle PADI, then on the radar it’s the Orient Kamasu with red dial and bezel. It’s become an illness!😂😂😂. To cure me I went out and bought a Casioak ga2100 😜😂

    I thought I had a watch problem ! That's a lot of Japanese activity happening there although some nice pieces. The experiment at the end looks pretty good actually. I've had a few Seiko watches myself and found that they are hard to move on in the pre-owned market, can't give them away, but I still buy one occasionally.

    This was a great video! I like the faster pace because most reviewers will go on and on about the most minute details when all I want to see is the basics. It also gives an inside view of the watch business. After a lifetime of stereo business it’s interesting to see a lot of the same type of things go on in my latest passion business.

    Sweet collection Mark, but I feel you need a Doxa in your life.

Selling the Sub combat, but the rest are keepers, and the doxa will be passed down to the next gen.

    Awesome collection Mark. Your SKX with the blue hands would look perfect with the blue ceramic bezel, and dare I say the Island Ray would be stunning with a Yacht Master style bezel...or maybe a blue Triton???😊 Really great variety in your collection. As always Mark, watching your videos inspires me towards my next purchase...or two!
    Speaking of Yacht Master's would love to see the bezel on the last watch done on a Ray Raven.
    BTW. Your help in assisting with your Squale donation was exceedingly good form. It is this type of generosity and care for the customer that shows in the way you do business and brings me back to LIW as well as making you my first recommendation to anyone looking for a watch.

    That last watch is sick. I would definitely buy one. Keep us updated on that one.

    My favourite was the Orient Ray double domed sapphire and the Rolex bros. Great collection!
