Affordable diver vs affordable diver

I’m partial to white dials, so Orient for me.

Let's see:

Hands - Orient - I like arrow or pointy tips
Crown guard - Orient - why leave any of the crown exposed on the Steinhart

Bezel - Steinhart - I like small font numbers and ceramic beats aluminum
Bracelet - Steinhart - Titanium usually beats Stainless

Dial - 50/50 - I now prefer stick type hour markers over dots but I don't like them to be overly large either
Clasp - 50/50 - I want to say Orient because of the push button but the Steinhart has a very positive snap to it

Orient. Less boring, probably thanks to the hands and hour markers. And I don't even like white(-ish) dials.

I have that Orient but with a grey dial and orange bezel.

But you don't mean the one in your pic, right?

I like the titanium material of the Steinhart but I just can't take the brand seriously as I see them as a Rolex copy with different details

The Orient OTOH,is an interesting watch as I rarely see divers with light colored dial

Another thing which made me love Orient diver is: I have a (watch lover) friend who works in construction and he fell from the ledge (I forgot how many floors),got head injury,then he got hospitalized then recovered.....the watch he had on his wrist when he went through the ordeal? An Orient diver...now it has huge gash on the bezel (and crystal) and some dried cement splattered on it but the watch is still working and still keep nice timing (maybe not COSC standard but it's still acceptable considering what it's been through)

No, that is in fact NOT the same Orient I have. Oops.
