Well, she finally came in from Japan, y'all. I posted last week about the wonders of Yahoo Japan Auctions and Buyee, and this is my second successful transaction on the site. Shipping was about $30 total from Japan, which was entirely reasonable, and the watch was here roughly a week after I ordered it. Again, totes reasonable.
So, without further ado, let me proudly show off my hideously-amazing, gaudishly-yellow Orient Star Somes edition. These yellow ones are downright impossible to track down, but it was really the only version that appealed to me. I wear two watches 98% of the time (an Oris and a Ball), and they still fit the bill of "I really only need these two watches for my entire life" -- but I was really, really drawn to this as more of a statement watch that plays along nicely with my bolder prints and jackets and such.
This is my first Orient Star and I was excited because everybody that has them raves about them. I'm only ten minutes in with this one, but I am 100% feeling it. Something for everybody, right??
