! You know, it's
curious..
> (views: 39)I'm sorely tempted by several Orients - thanks in no small part
to your enthusiastic reviews and great photos 
- but somehow I've
never quite gotten around to taking the plunge. This one, for instance;
Must surely be one of the best values out there. And is drop-dead gorgeous, IMHO! However, since I've already got the Alarm-Chrono category covered several times over (analog, digital and ana-digi), it would be somewhat redundant...
This one's a great homage to the Daytona, I think..
..capturing much of the spirit of the original without being a slavish copy. If it were a chrono rather than a day-date, I probably would have gone for it by now...
Also love the looks of this one;
Though it generally goes for prices that put it in RMW territory, by my humble standards. Then, too, there's the 'got the Alarm-Chrono covered' aspect, again...
But the one that's been REALLY tough to resist is this one;
What a
stunning watch!
And for quite reasonable $$, too. I lean towards the black-dial version, but
love the white-dial as well. So much so that it's hard to make up my mind!
{sigh} So many great watches, only 2 wrists...

Sliderule
Ah well, I've wanted this watch for ages. Sort of an
for me. Kind of amazing that I've held out this long, really.
Hey Zeb! Do you know the bracelet size, offhand? You reckon it'll fit an 8-1/4" wrist? Or should I start looking for spare links right now?
'course, it looks good on a strap, too;

- The bracelet is slightly loose on my wrist, which is 7.5 or 7.75 inches, and there are two adjustment holes left. >> (views: 12)

It just might fit, and with an extra link I'm sure it would. Let me know when you get it!

Maybe. But more than likely I'll be looking for an extra link. Ah well, I'm used to it..

You bet!
And thanks again for your help!
