“This watch is very classy looking and just about checks all the boxes for me. The dial is very nice. I also like the deployment clasp leather band and exhibition back. The only downside for me is the slightly hard to read time due to the hands, reflections on the crystal and my poor vision.”
“It's my fault for selecting this black dial watch. I thought I was ordering the blue dial. The black is very boring. I am also use to a watch with a larger case. 42.5 mm is just a small case to me.
It also just doesn't look as good as it did in the picture. I may wear it a few times, but for me it's not an everyday watch.”
“First time buying an Orient watch, I was really amazed with the quality & attention to detail at this price. This watch is a looker, always gets compliments.”
“Had been looking at this watch for a while. I finally pulled the trigger but unfortunately I received an Orient Defender watch instead. I immediately emailed Marc and within 15 minutes he got back to me saying the replacement would go out for overnight delivery with instructions for returning The Defender. True to his word the correct watch arrived the next day. I was very impressed with the customer service and how the matter was resolved. I'd certainly buy another watch at some point from LIW...”
“Loving this watch. Sits perfectly on my wrist and looks amazing. The details on the dial are neatly visible, the sun and moon gives that extra touch, and the exhibition back is a nice bonus.”
“I purchased the Oriental Sun and Moon watch with the black dial because the blue dial model was out of stock. It really is as gorgeous as described.
Unfortunately, there just isn't enough contrast between the hour and minute hands and the black dial for me. I found it difficult to read the time under indoor lights; I had to move it around to find just the right angle in order to do so.
That was a deal breaker for me and I returned it. I of course got the usual superb Island Watch service on the return and my PayPal account was credited for the total purchase within only a few days after I sent it back.
As it is very beautiful, you may not see the issue to be as significant as I did and may like the watch anyway.”
“I'm from Portugal, so the watch had to go through Customs. Even so, it arrived to Customs a few days earlier than the estimate time of delivery.
This watch is all about exclusivity and it is possibily the best value for money you'll find within automatic watches.
To get an ideia about it's exclusivity, there are no physical shops in Portugal that sell Orient's. Believe me, I went to some prestigious shops in Lisbon, where they display Tag Heuers, Rolexs, but also Seikos, Swach, Casios.
This might very well mean that I'm one of the very few portuguese to own an Orient, much less an Orient Sun and Moon. And being such an amazing watch, with a quality of a +1000€ watch, it makes me feel truly previleged.
I wear a suit everyday to go to work, and the watch really adds to your image, with a refined, executive but also wealthy look. Interesting thing is that when wearing casual clothing on weekends it stills blends very well, while still adding a kind of educated, wealthy feel.”
