What to Buy ... Revolver or M-Force ...

[rukrem]

Ok I am about to purchase my 1st Orient and I am pretty excited, however, confused ...

I prefer the looks of the Revolver. however, I prefer the sapphire, hacking and handwinding features of the M-force.
Both bracelets look to be quite crappy so I am going to put a Watchadoo/ Tung-Choy depending on which one I buy (22mm Revolver versus 23mm M-force).

Has anyone owned both, which is preferable ... any advice is greatly appreciated.

IMHO you won't go wrong with either.. Bracelet on the Revolver is superior to that on the M-Force.. Love them both and they both accessorise well with other straps and bracelets..

Cheers

Have you been having trouble sourcing 23mm bracelets?

Haven't been looking for one, but seen them advertised by tungchoy at orientalwatchsite.com email them for details

The Revolver's are about all gone now. Good luck if you decide to go that route. The bracelet is 10x better than the M-Force and has solid end links and quality scissor clasp versus cheap stamped. The crystal on the Revolver is AR coated and it sits well below the bezel so no worries about scratching. Plus on certain angles the AR coating gives off a beautiful green hue.

I think you should buy the M-Force...

Revolvers are still in stock, so no luck needed ...
Call me confused ... After everything you said; you are recommending the M-force?

Your recommendation seems a little less then genuine ... Maybe it's me ;p

Any who ... I am leaning towards the Revolver. Now black or yellow?

Thanks for the responses everyone.

Personally, I think you should get both.. Therefore the decision would be down to which one to get first.. Revolver or M-Force.. I have the Revolver in yellow and the M-Force in black..

Decided on a yellow Revolver sans bracelet ... I have an extra Watchadoo that i think will look great :)

I'll post some obligatory shots upon delivery :)

As for a black watch ... Was thinking a Sumo would fit the bil quite nicely.

Hello All ... so it just got delivered, my new Orient Revolver 200m ...

Pictures just do not capture the essence of this watch. The quality of the finishing, the dial, and the bezel really gives this watch its own unique character ... IMO the Watchadoo was made for this model and the lume is outstanding!

Amazon has this model (on the rubber strap) on sale for $562. Not cheap but definitely worth the price of admission!

The revolver and M-Force are (IMHO) two of the best quality divers out there for the money, still patting myself on the back for picking up an M-Force when they were still available for around $370. Here's mine on a Tung-Choy:
