Between these four, what would you choose and why?

Orient Ray II

Orient Mako II

Steinhart OCEAN One VINTAGE Red

Steinhart OCEAN 1 (Black)

By direct comparison, the Steinhart is very much better than the Orient (spec wise, one has sapphire and one does not. And the ETA movement is superior compared to the F6922 BUT the Orient movement is in house! Extra point for that! Not to mention that Seiko kinda owns about 52% of Orient so.....). But look wise, Orient is much better for me. Yes I am a little biased towards the Japanese, but venturing into other country is nice too.

TLDR; poor man's "submariner homage"
