I wonder if all the little discs Orient cut out of the dials on these watches are still out back in the dumpster behind the factory?
Someone should gather them all up and sell them on eBay as Helios PATCH KITS ;- )
Man, I wouldn'a thought I'd like the look of a bubble crystal any time soon, but maybe that's because most of the watches sporting one which otherwise caught my eye were ancient discolored ebay offerings. Not sure about the open heart 'feature', but otherwise I'm a little tempted.
I could never wear a watch with the Latin derived and archaic "Orient" name. I work with too many Asians who hate and see terms like "Orient" or "Orientals" as racial slurs. They come from countries with unique cultures and long distinct histories that bristle at a European term that was a best demeaning and very racist. I know this comes from a time when the term was in wide use but that's no excuse to keep it.
Yes, id stick with orient bambino or bambino small seconds. The colourway is nice on this watch but the open heart for the mainspring is dumb. Its not going to look as nice as a tourbillion.
