Just joined the drop for this elegant beauty, I bought my first Orient in 1969 at the Aussie PX in Vietnam. Bashed it up pretty good, lost the crown and stem but it still runs when you shake wind it.

GugliermoWow $24, thank you for sharing the photos. It's impressive it will still run with that amount of damage. I hope you weren't too banged up when the watch was. Is there a cool story attached to that. I'm sure it holds some memories. I'm impressed that you have been able to keep the watch and it's paperwork for so long. I've been wanting to add an Orient to my collection. I am going to wait and see what the people who are more knowledgeable than me have to say about this model and price.

E-equals-mc-droppedThere is no single story attached to the watches' condition. I flew helicopters which is pretty tough on people and machinery in a combat zone. Orient is a wonderful brand, all in house production. In mho it is easily the equivalent of Seiko and Citizen. I bought the Orient Aviator Flight watch here at MD some time ago, wonderful watch. I'll include a pic of it on an Android SS mesh/link bracelet. The Agent looks like another fabulous watch, at an unbeatable price.

JakeRobertsI need that watch! Just like the Seiko 5 but WAY bigger.

TasselhoffThe Flight is 42mm in diameter with, I believe, 20mm lug width. It's very light and the lume is decent. And, in my case, the movement has been accurate to +1 second when worn, not bad at all.

Thanks, it's one of my favorites from Android, super quality. They are still selling bracelets but changed their name to Aragon Watches after the settlement with Google for the name. Android Watches were around long before Google. Here's a pic of one of my favorite dress watches from them that came with the half mesh.
