Orient Blu Ray II with a Yobokie coin-edge bezel and black, retro ceramic insert with red...zero marker? (what's that thing called?)
The strap is a Blushark Alphashark (their premium line) "Uncle Sam" NATO strap. The blue in it almost perfectly matches that of the face (bit of a gamble but it paid off) and the red is fairly close to that of the red thingamajig on the bezel. I trimmed it a bit per a tip I read on here: clamp with two coins and vicegrips, cut with sharp scissors (the smaller the better), seal frayed end with lighter, unclamp.
I have a navy blue strap on the way from PhenomeNato, I'll compare the two and see which one I like best.
Oh, and the watch is about 7s a day fast, which for a $180 Orient is great as far as I'm concerned (it's also very consistently 7s a day fast, which is nice).
