Orient Hammerhead potential beater contender

Orient Hammerhead FEMD7D003b9

Hi guys, here's a modest affordable beater contender.
Here we have one of Orients new released models.

Very nice design, and looks quality upon first impressions.

Nice weight and presence on the wrist. Build is solid.
Bezel is sturdy and smooth and easy to use. I like the dial layout on black dial.
The crown is not screwed down, but typical of a 100m diver.
The lume is poor, typical Orient, nothing to brag about, glows, but weak and quick fading.
Brushed bracelet looks nice, I like it a lot actually. Folded endlinks, but its comfy.
Its got decent two button clasp signed Orient.
Auto Movement:ORIENT caliber 46943 w/40hr PR

It would be nice if there was lume pip on bezel, and seconds hand had some lume too.
I like how the finish was done. Its nice with mix of brushed and polishing to bezel and case.

Orient has come out with a nice offering with the Hammerhead IMO.
Really nice entry level diver type watch. It would be killer if this one had all the real diver rated features.

Enjoy the eye candy.
Cheers, Dave.

Kinda like the overall package-especially the handset.

With a name like Hammerhead, I'm surprised Terry doesn't have one of these yet....
