So far I've found that most folks don't like these.  :?  However, I'm trying to decide between these two for my next major purchase.  I think they're way cool and totally original. So which do you like better?

I like both of them.  Which one would I buy the black dial and that is just because of the bezel, and I got real sick on butter scotch one time when I was a kid.  I am not saying that makes any sense.

:D But I understand completely! :) I'm leaning towards the black dial because of the case and the bracelet. :) Beefy!!

I like the black -

I saw these last year at the JA Show in NY. Orient (Puritime) was there and they were showing these models. . . don't know why, since they weren't up for US export yet.

I'm not an "open heart" or skeleton fan, but that is one awesome case and bracelet.  I love Orient watches...and if I had to choose, I'd go for the YELLOW
.....without that open heart, that would also be a great dial!

I'm usually not a big open heart fan either, but on this watch it works for me.  I hate the psuedo-elegant tourbillon-wanna-be of most open hearts, but in these designs they are presented as part of a machine, which is exactly what they are.  :)

I vote for the YELLOW dial. The black case is cool, but I think the yellow is nicer all around. You could put a strap on it too.
