movement also can handwind and hack.
and yes, all made in japan.

too many orient models, too hard to track.
ur best option is go back to the shop, take pics of the tag that usually says what the model number is...

Thanks bro. I'm leaning towards the Starfish but don't really like the day window on it. If only the blue orient has a black face it'll be perfect.

What do you guys think of the Starfish for a daily beater in an office environment? I work in the banking/finance sector. This'll be my first real watch so to speak.

It's fine, unless you are client facing and your client is basing their business on what you wear, just get something subtle and you should be good.

I'm in the same sector and I wear my SKX009 with a NATO more than anything else.

Those straps are custom made in japan. The left one is horween's no. 8 whilst the right one is I believe Shinki-Hikaku. The horween is more dense whilst the Shinki is more shiny. Both are slightly less than RM300 a piece include shipping 1 year + ago. You can search the craftsman at Etsy by the name of Jonesintokyo. I commissioned 5 straps from him with 3 in shell cordovan. His workmanship is however a bit patchy of late and I am not completely satisfied with my last shell cordovan strap
