A little history, while not particularly interesting, does inform the outcome: I picked this watch up on a lark, mostly. Although, the power reserve indicator was a complication I'd been searching for in a price range I could afford, and this fit the bill on both counts. I also liked the look of the bezel, which is different than most, with the alternating silver and black segments. The bezel also exhibits some dimensional interest, in that the numbers are set down below the level of the silver dividers. The crown placement? Meh, who cares. I liked the size at 44mm, as I like larger watches. So, in short, different aesthetics with a large enough case and a hitherto not acquired complication provided me with the impetus to purchase the watch on WUS.
I received the watch and was immediately underwhelmed. It wasn't particularly heavy, nor does it sit particularly prominently on my wrist. The rubber strap was positively abhorrent, and it didn't have one of the the very few attributes that I think are crucial to an automatic watch: no hacking function. WTF? What the hell kind of watch doesn't allow me to stop the movement when I'm setting the watch?
I believe I had my PAM 24, B&R, and UTS at the time, so the Orient had quite a bar to overcome to become a part of the stable of consistently worn. Which, of course, it didn't, until I had work to do around the house. I have an old Victorian house, which always needs work, and since I've tried and failed miserably to wear quartz unless working out, the Air Diver took on the role of the Beater.
And beat on it I have. Demolition, carpentry, plastering, flooring, wood chopping, concrete destruction with a pneumatic jackhammer, and myriad other destructive activities. Fast forward to present day. My watch collection has shrunk in value and size by an order of magnitude due to, well, life. I've sold almost everything of substantial value as that money is better served in other places than my wrist. But the Revolver remains. I thought about selling it, but I would always tell myself it's not worth the postage, not enough in return. So I've held on to it for two and a half years. Longest tenure of any watch I've ever owned, BTW. And I've beat the living crap out of it 2-3 days a week, almost each week, for the entire time I've owned it.
And guess what? It keeps terrific time. The case holds up and asks no questions. The crystal, the mineral crystal, has a few hairlines, but nothing substantial. The springbars are big and fat and secure as a vault. In short, this is an absolutely amazing watch. I've wanted to hate this watch, desperately, since I got it. Maybe because it would allow me to rationalize a new purchase? Probably. Maybe because it wasn't a much more expensive watch with a manufacture movement? Probably.
Zack actually posted something about picking one of these up, and I remember denigrating the watch and telling him he'd regret it and sell it almost immediately (wait, that's pretty much any watch anyway). But I've realized the error of of my ways. I've realized that this watch deserves my respect, and that it's a damn good watch.
This post is WAY too long, but I figured an Orient Air Diver probably doesn't get enough press, so I rambled form a bit.
The watch:
Always nice to hear a watch in that price range can take what you throw at it and still come back and ask for more.
Honestly was so interesting reading
Awesome stuff ! 
Sorry about that.
