Cheap watch with an inflated price.

You know nothing about these... Orient are a top-quality but affordable Japanese brand, one of the very few brands in the world that actually makes their own movements, and the 'Star' collection are their high-end collectibles, only sold in Japan.

Buying an Orient Star outside of Japan is like buying a Rolex - it's probably fake, and if it isn't then you can't afford it.

If they're top quality, why are they being spammed on a board that is about the demise of reddit and not a watch-related sub?

Probably because the seller is pushing fakes, or will just take your money and send nothing? I dunno.

Saidit gets a lot of spam, but that doesn't diminish the quality and desirability of an Orient Star.

I've only once been to Japan, where I grabbed a great pair of kitchen knives, which, with minimal care, are still like razors 5 years later. If I go back there I'll snaffle more knives and an an Orient Star, as a dress watch.

My daily watch is a Fenix 5X, so no conventional watch comes close (love the feeling of walking past watch shops and just not caring what's in the window, unless it's the latest 7X...)

Still looks cheap.

I don't clink on links.

Well don't click on this one then, which is shorter and more to the point:
