    Smile New Purchases

    I've been lurking in the forums for quite some time now and I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Mako XL (CEM75001B) just yesterday. I've been so excited I couldn't stop reading the forums. That's when I decided I also needed the 60th Anniversary (SDT00002W) before they're sold out - so I also ordered one of them today. I guess I've got the bug.

    I hope I'm as happy as I am excited!

    If you're married get your wife one as well. I figure an Orient for the wife is good for another five for me.

    Hah! Thanks for the advice Tzimisces. I was actually looking at some more expensive watches, but my wife decided she needed a new platinum setting for her wedding ring so I reevaluated my needs. She was the one who told me I should buy the 60th Anniversary. Although to your point, I think the Mako would look good on her. :)

    Speaking of the 60th Anniversary - I am thinking about upgrading the strap to something a bit nicer; does anyone know what size strap I need to get? Thanks!

    Thanks Tzimisces! Any recommendations for good quality black leather or croc dress straps (XL probably since I've got an 8" wrist)?

    We hope so too! Post some pics and a review when you receive your watches.
