That looks fantastic but I've got to say... is that really the box it comes in?

Maybe I missed it somewhere and you guys have already discussed this rather odd looking new watch?

Another new one?

Makes me wonder about the provenance of the movement. My understanding is that the movement in the current Orient Star chronograph is at base a 6S28, high end Seiko chronograph, I wonder if the 40P53 shares DNA with some higher end Seiko GMT model.

This would seem sensible given that the high end movement for Seiko watches are made by Seiko Epson (which is the holding company that owns Orient).
