My comments in all CAPS to differentiate, not yelling
I'm interested in a blue dial dive watch and based on comments here am taking a close look at Orient. Quality and bang for the buck quotients are reportedly high, and higher than the Seiko 5, which gets my attention.
(ORIENT IS TREMENDOUS VALUE IN THE SUB 1000 USD WATCH WORLD. IT IS A GO TO BRAND REC ON ALL MANNER OF WATCH ENTHUSIAST FORUMS ETC)
Who are some recommended vendors? There are of course a bunch on Amazon -- safe, or not?
(OREINT INC/AMAZON/LONG ISLAND WATCH AND TEDDY B)
Do all Orient divers have sapphire crystals, or just certain ones?
(MOST BUT NOT ALL. IE THE KAMA
I want to use a NATO strap. If the watch comes with a metal bracelet, is it easily swapped out for a NATO?
(MANY TEND TO BUY A WATCH ON A BRACELET AS IT IS OFTEN TOUGH TO SOURCE A QUALITY BRACELET AFTERMARKET. SWAPPING WITH NATOS IS EASY WITH A QUALITY TOOL)
