My 1st Orient - PVD Duo w/blue face

[jrippens]

My first Orient... it's my thinnest watch, among a bunch of divers. I like its low profile and light weight for when I don't want a brick on my wrist. I also like how it flies under the radar with its PVD coating and it's blue face and indices which look black from a passing glance. But the the face is the reason I wanted this model... it's a really nice shimmering dark blue that reflects the light so beautifully. And the numbers/indices are so legible. They catch any available light very well and make it extremely easy to read.

If I'm gonna complain, it'll have to be about the case. The case-sides are really thin, robbing it of wrist-presence and a solid feel. I wish it had a little more height and heft. It almost feels like a plastic swatch. But that might just be because my normal watches are an SKX007 and a XW Tsunami.

Ok, enough talk, here are some (really bad) pictures. Excuse my lack of photography skillz...

Er?

Sorry for the confusion Steve. I didn't make myself clear, apparently. By "Er?" I'm assuming you'd like me to clarify... here goes... I appreciate that it is lighter and lower in profile than my divers and that the pvd and dark face make it a discreet time-piece (not blingy or flashy). However, the case-sides are very thin, and therefore make it feel a little cheap.

Crazy question I know... but you don't happen to play Minecraft do you?
