Review of the orient quartz divers

So I have not really done one of these properly before so let's give it a try

So today I am going to review on the orient divers Quartz

Orient divers Quartz
D39747-90 ca
Quartz movement d3911 orient
4 o'clock crown
Anti clockwise bezel
20 mm lugs
42 case with crown
Stainless steel case
Water resistant 20 bar

Over all I like this watch and it's different to the normal if you compare it to the seiko 7548 Quartz Your not getting the history and the big name behind the watch , but you are getting a watch that's stands side by side in looks and you get a lot for the money you would spend , a rarer more sort after watch that deserves its place as a retro/vintage sub divers and gives the seiko a run for its money , the only down side would be parts but apart from that a great watch ⌚️
I own both mentioned watches and at present the orient take priority when it comes to wrist time

great write up Andy cheers matey .. as you know I am a sucker for a diver and the one you have shared with us is a beauty .. I totally agree it stands side by side with Seiko's .. reminds me of my 7h26

Yep I have to agree very similar to both and a great buy form a residential friend Bruce that's both watches the orient and the seiko 7548 I have to be Honist I love these two watches

great watches Andy.............i do have another Orient Diver tucked away

Lol there is a name for that you watch tease pmsl if you need a new home for it my wallet Is open (and full of cobwebs )

Interesting write up, thanks.

I know very little about these types of watches and am fascinated that there is very little difference in design between the Orient and the Seiko.

Are the qualities of the movements / cases etc equally on a par?

The seiko movements are Quartz and you can get parts and movements still , but the orient is a Quartz rare little movement I have two in the resto watch box that needs movement and they are very hard to come by

interesting Seiko owned Orient then and still do

Well Bruce they say you learn something everyday, I never new that may be I can source a similar seiko movement as a donor until one turns up
