Check out the power reserve 35th hour to 20th hour the metallic paint should be only at the side, not on the top.

The black paint was not applied on the edges it seems?

That is shitty QC control. When you bought it, you did now notice this defect? Or was it online?

Either the black paint or metallic paint didn't applied properly..

Unfortunately, I didn't noticed when I inspect the watch in the shop, went back after 2 days only found it out.. But anyway contacted them, they said will replace the dial for me.

Yes indeed quite bad QC, I also did sent and email to Orient Japan, they said they will contact AD Time to settle the case with me and as usual reply, will improve their QC

Odd how it failed QC since the movement is made in japan, dont sure where it is cased though.

Too bad you got a "lemon".

My another retrograde when I purchased it also got flaw on the first stock, the date doesn't aligns well, then after that the staff got another 2 for me to choose then finally found 1 totally flawless.

I guess we are really living in the what you pay is what you get world. Japanese watch overall is way more affordable than Swiss made watches, but just gonna take extra effort to check before you take home your watch.

I think chalk it to bad luck or the rumour that orient's QC isnt upto scratch. You mentioned that the staff brought out 2, so you went through 3 watches total and 2 had defects? Thats pretty bad QC in the law of averages.

My black ray raven was flawless, so was my wenger pilot, both bought from amazon.

bought my first Orient online from Serious Watches from The Netherlands, came via DHL, perfect condition smile.gif

too bad something went wrong with the movement few months later, no idea what... bought it for warranty claims and came back all good again

You sent to an orient AD for warranty and they honored it even though it wasnt bought in malaysia?

Needed an everyday divers watch. I was hesitant at first but immediately went with the Blue Ray after seeing it in real life. Very happy with it so far! Amazing blueee! [attachmentid=5134977][attachmentid=5134979]

Should have bought the mako USA model, it now sports solid end links and sapphire glass.

How to buy the USA model?
They only ship within the USA.
You got any lubang?

I sometimes travel to the states for work. Or i just use a forwarder if its worth it.

But i prefer to ray series compared to the mako.

I am abit perplexed why they went ahead with the upgrades on the mako when the ray should be more deserving of the upgrades.

Nice choice bro!  Looks good on your wrist! thumbup.gif
Good discount? Mind sharing where?
I'm thinking of getting a Raven.  tongue.gif

I have the raven and its a very good beater dive watch.

If you have a nato strap, better to use it since the metal bracelet is rubbish.

I wonder when will orient produce the new Ray II with solid end links and sapphire crystal like the Mako USA model.
