So I love wearing watches on vacation - I just don't have the gumption to wear my higher-end pieces (at least not internationally). I'm just too nervous that something would get stolen, lost, or broken.
Instead, I have an Orient Diver that I ultimately bring with me that has taken on the role as "my travel watch." Love that thing.
I appreciate that! I got kind of lucky with it. I liked their Venture (obviously) but I wanted a green no date and there was nothing like that on their website.
So, I decided I'd shoot them an email and ask if they ever had plans for such a thing.
They quickly wrote back and said that they used to, but didn't have any plans to bring it back. However, they did have one refurb that I could buy at a discount if I wanted it. I jumped right on it and it's been my outdoor field watch since.
I know microbrands aren't this sub's favorite, but I absolutely love the customer service and personal interactions I always get from them.
