Are Orient watches long lasting?
The reason I am asking this question: some years ago I wanted to get an Orient Defender (1st generation) but for one reason or another I did not.

If I am looking now on ebay for ‘pre-owned’ Orient defenders (of any generation,)
the current offer is a total of 10 (ten) watches.
I really doubt that the explanation of why the market for pre-owned Orient watches is so scarce has to do with the fact that (perhaps) very few…

Are Orient watches long lasting?

I’ve become a bit obsessed with this microbrand lately. Something about their uncompromising attitude around vintage inspired elements and consistent design language I find really appealing. I now have four of them and they form the backbone of my collection with the rest getting very little wrist time anymore.

Any help will be appreciated!

A few weeks ago, I order a a couple of straps from @Tenessean87. Last night I received a great surprised. He included an extra strap!

Not only his straps are just superbly well made…

When the Strap makes the watch WHOLE! A Tribute!
