Good thing is you can get it serviced/repaired at your nearest Orient dealer. It shouldn't cost an arm and leg too.

44mm is huge. Should be just right!

The problem is, these watches are in-between and soon you'll wish you had an upper grade Swiss watch like Longines, then Omega and before you know it you'll need a Rolex.

I say get an Orient Super Mako (200m) for RM600 and be done with it. Lots more street cred than entry level Swiss watches.
