Yes, great watch at the price. A great buy, esp at a discount. Like it almost as much as my skx 007.

Lume is decent, not as good as a seiko diver but pretty good. It does wear true TK size, less thick than a SKX which is nice. Still prefer the SKX but wanted a white face diver and this orient ticked the boxes

Seiko lume definitely has me ruined. And I don't know who I'm kidding, I'm really on a smaller watch kick. Wish Orient had a 38-39mm dive model...

I have one. It's such a favorite of mine. I can tell you that it wears quite small and if you put it on a strap, it will disappear. I guess it doesn't hurt to mention that when worn regularly, I'm seeing +2sec. Accuracy!
