"Hi guys I'm whispering because it's really early in the morning"
Interesting to me that between the review of the previous Orient Ray Black edition which lost the pusher he didn't like and gained hand winding and hacking ability it gained 1 point since last comparison. While the Seiko with no changes managed to gain like 5 or 6 points since the previous review.
I just bought the Orient. Honestly, three years after the review, I feel like I made the right call. Seiko divers continue to ratchet up in price and I just got my Ray 2 Raven for well under $200, with full international warranty. And purely aesthetically, it's not even close. My black NATO arrives tomorrow.
To me, the Orient is the clear winner in this contest. So I just ordered a plain black/silver one. A lot of extra points were given to the Seiko for quite dubious reasons.
We all knew coming into this video that no matter how good the Orient was he would somehow make the skx win 😂
This was my first sight of the updated Orient Ray and I have to say, I'm liking what I see. Thanks for your objectivity and attention to detail!
i've watched many of your videos and enjoyed them all. Your passion for watches is impressive. I just ordered an SKX007 based on your reviews and my budget.
Love the intros for this series..."pure class" and well-executed! SKX is still #1 on my wishlist, but now I've added the Orient too...you're going to cost and save me a good bit of money, TGV haha
As always, very much appreciate the depth and consideration in your videos. Cheers, mate!
Great video TGV, love the comparos. Of course I have both those watches because I watch your videos and I can't help myself! Truly, love them both. Thanks for all your work.
awesome review !
Great duel/review as always, TGV. And it's wonderful to see you continue to look so happy and healthy. We'll see you on the next one...
That Ray is so eye-catching! Having a 007 and a 1st gen ray, I'm not sure why but the Orient 'feels' better in the hand, it has a solid feel I don't get as much with the SKX. you're are right about the orient brand being for us guys and I selfishly hope that continues! it's a jewel of a brand!
I've gone for the SKX thanks to your previous video. Looking forward to its arrival. I do like the look of this Orient too. Thank you for all that you're doing in making your videos im so happy to keep watching. Keep up the great work. Best hand clicks 👍
Hey TGV, nice vid. I have been close to buying an SKX on a number of occasions but it just doesn't do it for me aesthetically, so I'm happy to let SKX mania pass me by. Loving the look of the Ray Raven though! Got a Bambino last month so the Ray may end up being Orient No.2.........
I really appreciate your continuing to make videos. I am sure that many people agree with me. We know it's hard, thank you TGV
Take out x-factor, versatility & brand prestige which in the case of watches $200 tends to be superficial. Because its orient against Seiko(why would Seiko buy Orient?), Orient stands enough ground to negate those three categories. The real score then amounts to 63 for Orient and 60 for Seiko. My opinion of course but really... I love watches and do not want to worry about them, if damaged no problem when these prices make for easy fixing or replacing. Looking for brand prestige??? why did Seiko invest in Orient if they weren't going anywhere??? Ask yourselves please
In your previous comparison the Orient and Seiko drew with 84 points each. Now with all the improvements and updates the Orient only managed to gain a single solitary point. That doesn't seem fair Yet the Seiko, essentially unchanged, has managed to amass an extra 6 points. Why...how can this be? In the previous comparison the Seiko failed to get the maximum score of 10 in any single category. However in your updated test the Seiko achieved a maximum score of 10 in 4 categories.Thiese significant changes seem strange to me or did you underrate the Seiko first time round and by the same token assess the Orient too highly? Why else could you only award it a lowly extra point even with its upgrade? At this price level, your scoring system shows the Orient winning in the categories that really matter... value, movement, performance, quality and style and is a much better prospect in my view.
Admire your determination and resilience! thank you making these very informative videos.
Really nice video! Keep up the good work! I bought my first automatic watch and it was the skx007 because of your videos and im in love with it! Thanks alot, Cheers! :)
