Just in the door, inspected for major defects and some quick and dirty shots before I size the bracelet! Initial thoughts... "hey what the heck, it's got AR!" "musta been a narcoleptic on the bracelet design team, this one is half done" "WOW, this is one nice watch!" ok the bracelet isn't bad, it's just an odd mix of capped riveted links and then regular links with rivets and they abruptly notch in to the removable links instead of having a smooth taper...  strangely the entire presentation still looks good though... There are some really high quality riveted style bracelets available now that will replace this one perfectly and I will be able to keep the solid end links that it has now and the OS signed clasp... It comes with a warranty card that says the warranty is only good in japan and a bracelet sizing tool that must also only be good in japan becuase it looks to cute to actually be useable...       today is just not my day for photos but here is the best AR shot I got so far...  It really is a cream colored dial.

It's only 35mm but it seems bigger?? At any rate It's an older model that has been available for a couple years Search on ebay for the model: WZ0011EV There are two big Japan ebay sellers who are established and reputable and only one of them has it! There is also a new manual wind hacking Orient Star that is a power reserve date model, its available in three colors so far but not the cream dial with blue hands yet... wz0011ej is for the cream dial with stainless hands but it will lead you to the other two colors... and you should be able to find both of the big Japan sellers with that model number too!

That's a beauty, OC. It would need another couple mms to get worn here. And thanks for the heads up on the Japanese eBayers...
