Subjective question, but I’m gonna go with ugly sister

[–] Calophon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I like Arabic numerals or simple indices on watches of Roman numerals, and I wear a Bambino Small Seconds daily. I really dislike the numerals on this watch. Also the “mechanical” under the orient logo seems unnecessary. If it weren’t for those I would really enjoy this watch. Maybe with a toned down redial I would like it.

I think it looks great. What model is this?

[–] Leonarr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I like it but having applied numerals instead of printed ones would make it so much nicer. Hand wind + power reserve indicator makes a lot of sense, it’s silly how Orient uses those mostly on automatics these days.

Definitely neglected beauty. First time seeing this watch and it has tons of character.

I think it would look better if the logo and power reserve were swapped. Looks awkward to me.
