My explorer not so noticeable to my eyes due to the dark dial and mercedes hour hands. No legibility issue.

Not sure about discontinuation, but so far I've found a couple of places carrying it. Most likely a JDM.

The Subaru tie-up is the limited and "discontinued" version, but even that can get in eBay if one don't mind seconds.

I'm honestly in two minds about Orient Stars .. Heck, I'm even beginning to lose interest in SARB017 after I saw SKA533.

i had a orient star before...pretty good value.
decent movement, solid end links, nice milled clasp.

i eventually flipped it as it got replaced by the aqua terra.

the blue hands one actually nice la, but cannot compete with the omegas...then again its way way cheaper.
while the milled clasp is nice, what i didnt like was it was abit thick.

anyway who buys red to be subtle? tongue.gif

For the price point, I'll accept some of the little, and I do mean little, shortcomings la. It certainly will be utilised far more at that price point than the Omega that I somehow can only bring to use in special occasions (I know right?!).

Well, I'll do subtle reds, knowing B&R and Hublots are just around the corner if I need something loud tongue.gif
