Orient Automatic Submariner Date 100m Diver - compared to LV Sub

[danny]

Recently I had an opportunity to take some quick shots of the Orient Submariner Homage together with the LV Sub.
When viewed from a distance you can hardly tell the Orient Sub from the real thing. 100m water resistance, screw down crown and sapphire crystal.
Fantastic value from Orient.

From far its freakishly similar.
How does the bracelet compare to each other?

Both almost looks the same, is the Orient copying Rolex designs?

You get what you pay for. The Orient bracelet is obviously more economical in design. No solid end links, but you also get that with the Sub no-date from Rolex. So what can I say?

It's basically a copy of the Rolex design, but it's considered a homage watch, rather than a fake, because it has Orient's name on it and not Rolex.
