My ORIENT watch
« on: August 03, 2014, 07:57:23 AM »
My ORIENT watch..after > 25 years, still running strong. Not even service once. Accurate n steady.

Can any expert here tell me what series / model is this? This watch has special meaning to me.

I like the textured dial on this photo.

It would be great to see it being restored and serviced entirely, but for such a faithful watch, I may have some sentimental value on each and every one of those scratch marks. :)

I think the model of this Orient can be found at the bottom of the dial. Check at the 6 o'clock position.
Care to share what is printed there?

Nice dial  :thumbsup:
All those dings and scratches to me tells it's own tale. A light buffing / polishing will give this watch new leash of life.  :Cheers:

cyang, looking at the caseback markings, the engravings tells some stories about the watch model itself.
OS 467A 259B
The 467A is the calibre number of the movement.
You might see the same number (467A) printed on the dial at the 6 o'clock position.
There are not much information that we can find in the internet about Orient watch production dates or their history of production models.
