Subarus are better quality cars than Orient are watches. More like Citizen. Orient is more like Nissan.
My Neptune would disagree with you.
My Orient pilot watch would appreciate it if you didn't mention the new dents on its front bumper. /r/NissanDrivers
Hah! Thinking Subarus are better made cars is hilarious. Subarus are the invictas. Cheap fall apart and loved by the oblivious
Bro wtf are you talking about. Stick to knowing watches cause you don’t know shit about cars
Found the blown hg and cvt lover
The hg is a pre 2014 issue. But legit point.
You know it. I suckle at the boxer teet
My Bambino 2 is one of my favorite watches. I've also got a Nissan. It's been the second least favorite of all the vehicles I have had. I've been thinking about getting another Orient. Talk me out of it.
I’ve owned one Orient. About 12 years ago, as I was first starting to get into watches, the WUS forums were full of praise for Orient. I happened to find a nice little dress watch—I forget which model, it was maybe 37mm—for less than $70 online. I made the purchase and was very happy with it for about a year and a half. At that point, the rotor stopped winding the spring, turning my automatic watch into just a mechanical watch. I made due. I enjoyed the watch, had purchased a few straps for it, and wanted to keep wearing it. Then, one day, one of the hands just fell off. Servicing was going to cost more than the watch itself, so I opted not to try to revive it. Maybe I just got a bad one, but I won’t buy another Orient because of that experience.
I understand your comparison to a Nissan now.
