I was bummed. I wanted that X-Lume. I figure if I’m going to have tritium, it should be lots of tritium!

I suddenly got chills from all the excitement. Whatever could it be?
Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

84 strap case in slate grey is on the way from Amazon. Gallon ziplock bags is a great idea I wish I’d thought of that before ordering the case!

Too many watches, not enough wrists.

Strap needs some breaking in but the color is an excellent match. In bright sunlight, it’s harder to see that the dial is off white:
I would have been fine with a solid caseback, the movement isn’t much to look at other than Farer’s racing inspired plate decor.
I like the lume around the edge of the dial. Also pretty sure they used enough on the hands.
P.S. First watch purchase of 2021!
Looks great, Ml! Farer has some really nice designs and this is certainly one of them.

Some people are into Rado or Ebel or Rolex or Seiko. It seems I'm into Orient as I just bought my fifth: Orient Ray. This one has tempted me for a long time and I found a price too good to pass up.

I think I might have had at least 10 Orients come and go, two still here ('58 Royal Orient and Somes) but I find them to be one of the best quality best value mechanical watches made these days. Rarely do I consider something to be underpriced for the quality, but Orient is underpriced for the quality. AND their blue sun-ray dials are stunningly pretty!
