    As you can see it is a bit beat up. It is on a 22mm (notched to the 20mm lugs) strap that Jii gave me (thanks again, its still better than the Toshi I had):

      Hectic,
      That Discus Burger is not only a rare watch, it's sexy as hell. I wish I would have picked one up when I had the chance to be honest.

      For now, I've been on a Tender Co binge and had to pick up this guy. It just arrived tonight so please excuse my crummy cell phone pic.

        Anesthetist, they come up so rarely, there was one on Ebay recently (black and rose gold) that went for about 1100 bucks. I really want the steel braceleted one. I dont think they made too many right?

        Re: Your new Tender - is it oriented like that for driving?

          ^^ It looks like it ^^ the Tender that is.

          Also that discus wearing that toshi looks interesting, but personally i like it more if paired with its original strap.. but thats just me. Love that Burger..

            After about a month if daily wear and a few quick dives with it the other day I must say I love this watch…

              Hmmm been looking at:


              For 125 $… No sapphire dial though... But not mineral either: hardlex...

                Rafa, how are you liking that Orient? I've been deciding between a Mako and a Monster for nearly a year now. Time to get off the pot or shit I think.

                Any opinions on the two watches you knowledgable people?

                    Mega - well what to say…imo it's a lot of bang for the buck. great watch, great size (not too big,not too small!), great detailing and it looks like a lot of love was put into it as well. the blue dial is amazing and the steel bracelet is perfect as well!
                    you really can't go wrong with this one lad...

                    just my 2cents o/course 😉

                      I'm a tad biased, Mega, but I think the blue dial Mako is a really versatile, beautiful watch.  Mechanically, either one is a great buy.  They will both be totally dependable for years, despite whatever abuse you subject them to, but the Mako will look good in any situation, from suits to overalls.  I don't think the Monster has the same flexibility.

                      EDIT: glad you're enjoying it Rafa.:)  I still have mixed feelings about letting it go, but I just didn't wear it often enough.

                        Hardlex is mineral. However I wouldn't pass on a nice watch because of that..

                          @Mega

                          I'd go with this one. (pic borrowed from Google)

                          Just because i love the looks of it. Tone it down with a leather strap, wear a rubber strap for a sporty look and the steel bracelet to show who's the boss.. 😉

                          Not saying the mako is not a nice watch, but personally I'll go with the Monster…

                            @ Mega - there is an XL Orient Mako too. (44mm I think)

                                  Broke out this '60s King Seiko today. Slow beat manual winder, seems perfect for a relaxing day.
