Hi,

I've been after one of these for a while and finally found a seller at a reasonable price. I'm in the UK so it's not been possible to see the watches in person. I'm therefore after some advice from fellow owners / people who have been lucky enough to see / handle them. Which is more desirable / more expensive looking, The blue or black varient? Any help would be much appreciated.

Moved to our dedicated Orient Watches Forum. Two threads merged.

I find the blue to have a unique look and style which makes it special. The dial can color shift depending on lighting.



On the wrist the black looks like any number of dive watches, more average. So I bought the blue and have no regrets.

Black. I am usually a blue guy, but didn't really like Orient's blue

I have the black. I like blue wathces, but the blue of the Titan doesn't impress me.

Thanks for the comments guys.

How can we decide what your personal preference may be? We each have our own preferences.

Which one did you get? That blue looks really good.

I got in blue and I really like it. Had many watches in black and I wanted something different. But I dont understand the crown design though...why the black stripe with a blue dial? And why is it high polished? If you look at the watch from above yoe see surfaces all brushed and then this crown highly polished....But as said I really like it.

I got my Triton about 2 months ago and I loved it until the bezel click spring broke -_- So I called Orient Watch USA and they said I would need to buy a whole new case $150+ and send my watch in in order to get a new spring. That's insane so I'm SOL lol

Anyone know if another watch bezel spring would fit? Maybe a Kano since it's case width is 44 vs 43.4 for the Triton?
