The Orient was found for me by the same friend who now has that Nomos.
 
They are currently on Amazon with blue face for $107 but mine was found with black face for $38 on eBay.
 
I give my friend headphone stands and Grado cases and he throws a watch my way when he sees a good deal (he really doesn't need more Orients when he is starting to pick up German Bauhaus pieces)...

$38? Is that a typo? Please say it isn't a typo.
 
 
 
Thanks,  @Shane55 for the nice comments!

After spending the day spinning some vinyl, I decided to do some snapshots with some watches.

Probably bad form to quote your own post but "tomorrow" (May 4th) turned into May 11th but I finally got it. It's listed at 42mm but I'm not sure what part they measure for that size. It's the biggest watch I own but it's not huge like some of those ridiculous things are, and it's got a nice heft to it. The butterfly clasp is a first for me and took me a couple of tries to figure out how to properly close it.

I ordered this watch a couple of weeks ago and am patiently awaiting it's arrival. It will be my first Russian watch but maybe not my last. It's a Komandirskie K-34 and I just really like that gray face. Maybe tomorrow. (As a long time Cub fan I've conditioned myself to always hope for "next game", "next year", "tomorrow" and so on).

Shane, your collection of black dial chronographs never ceases to amaze. :wink: They are all similar, but at the same time they're all unique and absolutely beautiful. I just wish I had the wrist size for automatic chronos. As it is, 40mm watches are just a bit too big for my wrists, and that seems to be the low end of quality automatics (size-wise) these days....

@roadkcykler: love the band and grey face of that Russian watch!

@ revolink... Yeah, thanks. Sure; redundant to some extent, but as you well know, we have collections of closed cans, iems, etc. All with their own special gift or personality.

Heh... I'm also one of those who tends to order the same thing at frequented restaurants.
 
Mike Kobold partnered with Herr Sinn to produce his first couple watch lines. The original B (like this one) had the Sinn 'S' on the crown.
 

 
 
@ CEE TEE. That new avatar is really... um... Well, it's got the hair down perfect!!
Hey, yes, the Sinns are some tough buggars too. VJ 7750 workhorse & Ti cases with that sand-blasted finish. I really like the look. Understated. Matte.
 
Here's the back of the Sinn...
