This is my Orient Deep Quartz Diver. 200m water resistance, beautiful sunburst blue dial, date, and 60-It's in lovely condition; I've only worn it about three or four times. I bought it new in October 2010, and it still has all the bracelet links, the original box, tags, international guarantee card (expired), and even the white shipping sleeve.The watch case is 40mm w/o crown, 10-11mm thick with 22mm lugs. It has a screw-down crown and caseback. The back is engraved with a couple of dolphins. The face is simpler than the more well known Orient Mako (automatic), and I think it's better-looking too - much more 'diver'. The blue colour is really pretty, and goes from deep navy blue to an almost sky blue depending upon how the light catches it.There is always a 'but', though. In my watch box, it keeps perfect time, and has done for nearly two years. However, when I wear it, it occasionally (not every time), sticks at around 4:20. A quick shake will free it up again. I don't know if the second hand catches on the minute hand, or there's something going on inside. It's been like this since I got it, and I never got round to sending it back.I am sure a competent jeweller or amateur tinkerer can sort it very easily, and when that's done, it will be a lovely looking (slightly retro, with the cushion case), reliable and unusual divers watch. read more
