Orient Day Date - Help

[jon8oy]

Evening all,

I saw somewhere on the forum a member had a beautiful Orient watch which was very similar to a Rolex Day-Date. I think it had a blue dial, from memory, with a fluted bezel. It is right up my street and I have been impressed with the quality of my Orient Mako III, so would like to pick one of these up.

The problem I've found is that I can't identify what model/reference this watch was and can't find the original post to ask the owner. I've tried googling but no luck. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Sorry for the lack of details...

Thanks,

John

I’d say it was an Orient ‘Oyster’ President, Black or white dial.

Saw a lot of them for sale in Malaysia when I was living there but not seen one since, even on Creation.

I think I remember looking for the particular model you describe about three years ago, and found it to have been discontinued. Blue dial, steel case with fluted markers, gold baton markers and hands.

There are a number of dial variants some with the cubic zirconia as already posted others with applied metal indices. If you like to look of them there are usually a few examples on eBay that sit around the £200-250 mark. I have noticed more of the all gold come up than anything’s else.

You could also consider some of the other vintage watches that have a similar look. Take a look at the mido commander, some of these are day date with fluted bezels or the Titoni Cosmo king. You can pick these up at around the £150-200 price. A search on eBay for president then filtering it to used writstwatches with a mechanical movement will also throw options up from companies such gruen. Happy hunting !

I have a grey one which by coincidence I’m wearing today. I bought it some time ago in Thailand....I haven’t seen any like this for sale for a few years now.
If it helps I’ll see if I can dig out the model number...

Did you ever get your hands on one?

That picture is superb, I absolutely love that design. This will be an enjoyable hunt...

Thanks, yes I'd already scoured Ebay but couldn't find the specific model with applied indices and in stainless steel. I will check out your other suggestions, I've seen a couple of Midos before and they look appealing.

Quite a few on Amazon but none as nice as that one and all seem to be suffering from short minute hand syndrome.

Bit of a left field suggestion, but for a low-cost new option: IMG_3269.JPG

These use Seiko movements and remind me very much of the now-discontinued Seiko ‘5’ day-dates...

Apologies for the dreadful photo by the way!

If you end up looking at the Titoni watches just be careful about redials. Titoni seems to have its largest presence in Asia despite being a Swiss brand and so a large number are sold out of Thailand and Malaysia. Many of these have had dials repainted. So tread carefully.
