    Do you really need a watch to tell you which the day of the week it is?

    Why not? Don't let my comments put you off - I do like some of your watches, but not all of them.

    You are, of course, entitled to your opinions Barry but it's the rather superior, acerbic, patronising way you express them that irks me.

    It's occurred a few times on this thread & elsewhere. I appreciate you seem to have a rather direct, no nonsense approach to things but this does come across as plain rudeness on occasions when this is probably not what you intend.

    Yes, I can come across as being blunt but I mean no offense. Apologies if I 'rained on your parade'.

    That Orient watch is very nice, stunning design and build looks good.

    Roy,
    What's the dimensions of the square Orient' s case?
    Does it wear similar to the Monaco on the wrist, or is it more dress watch proportions?


    Thanks.
