Is this l2l official? Then it is a large watch

Here's the link to Orient's website for the blue model:
https://www.orient-watch.com/Collections/ORIENT/Sports/ORIENT:-Mechanical-Sports-Watch/p/RA-EL0002L

Official specs are 43.4mm diameter with a lug to lug of 51mm. Love the look of this watch but I agree that at 40 to 41mm with a 47-48mm it would have made it a better fit for smaller wrists. I guess your still stuck with the Ray or Mako if you want a 41.5mm Orient. Probably too large for my 6.5" wrist.
 
I'm a big fan of the OS300... Currently own three of em, Black 1st gen, Red and White dial 2nd gen.

I'm looking forward to seeing a side by side with the OS... I might be in for a blue dial, or if an orange or yellow dial show up..
 
Re: "Baby" Pro Sat Diver: EL0001B00B/EL0002L00B

Really nice, only if my wrist is 17cm instead of 15cm. Hopefully they release one with the same design but at 40mm.

I just picked up the two tone version. Really good looking diver, probably the best looking in their current lineup.

I agree the size is still too large, but oh well - that’s how Orient rolls these days. The Saturation diver is thematically appropriate as a big in your face watch, but this has a svelte look which would work best at 42mm. I’d go a step further and wish for 20mm lugs as I personally think 22mm is too large on most divers below 45mm, but I know most of you prefer 22mm.

Regardless, I’m interested enough to buy it. Just hoping it wears notably smaller than the Sumo - which I’m doubting at this point. We’ll see.

One other thought; don’t get too hung up on wrist size / watch size. I’ve seen very tiny wrists pull off huge watches. It’s really just an internal hang up worrying about such a thing, and I wouldn’t let it keep me from trying a larger watch than I’m comfortable with so long as it’s not comically large (43.5mm isn’t comically large). I feel like some people hold themselves back from watches they may end up enjoying because they’re too worried about their wrist size, but every diver wears differently and you’ll never know unless you try it.
 
Just ordered the black dial version from Sky Watches, too good of a deal to not try one.
Yeah I got a great price from Creation. Not sure the level of quality to expect here; was originally thinking Sumo caliber but I'm not so sure considering what I just paid. I see a lot of them hanging around $500 but based on the current cheapest prices available that seems way too high.

Maybe more of a Samurai equivalent?
 
Ordered a black one yesterday from SKYWATCHES. Have been looking at the M-FORCE but their just a little to big for my taste. I also like the crystal is AR coated.
 
Hi Brandon,

The lug width 22mm

I have an Orient Mako II watch too.
The Orient RA-EL0002L00B is of a higher quality, its size is proportional and my thin wrist is also ideal.

What is your wrist size? My is 6.25, could you recommend it to me?
