My Citizen watch that I liked very much, I'm not fancy...died after only 3-4 years, the hands just became completely loose after the chrono stopped long before that. So I'm done with Citizen.
I'm looking for a decent auto watch and ran across Orient USA divers, which actually look pretty nice and have a fairly good reputation. At the same time $240 shipped seems kind of steep for a knock off when I could wait for a sale and maybe get a Seiko or similar. Thoughts? Link to the watch I'm looking at; Link |

Try this guy: I've bought a few watches, including Orient from him. He's GTG. |
| I wore an orange mako automatic through two deployments and many many nights in the mountains and no bathing covered in dirt. Still my most reliable watch. The automatic loses about 5 seconds a day or a few minutes a month which is typical but unlike my Seiko Monster Automatic it has never been rewound. My monster really started losing time after I had it for about 10 years. |

I have one and wore it almost 24/7 for approx 3 years. Showers, salt water, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, shooting, motorcycling, you name it and it worked flawlessly. On average I lost about a minute a month. If you don't HAVE to have blue you can find them on Amazon for half that price. |
