The joy of fulfilling a long felt want
Sitting around this afternoon doing not very much of anything I got that itch, you know the one, the one that has you browsing eBay and watch forum sales boards looking for a watch that is the right price that you can buy it without feeling too guilty about it.
I chanced across something that had been listed just a few hours before on another board, but which looked like it had sold. On the off chance I contacted the seller and found that the apparent sale had just dropped through and the watch was mine for the taking. It's nothing too fancy, but it is a watch that I really wanted way back when in my early days as a WIS, one that ticked a lot of the right boxes for me then and still does now.
- Classic good looks (okay, it is a homage, but it's a homage of the watch everyone homages)
- Great dimensions (39mm diameter with 20mm lugs)
- Sapphire crystal
- Auto movement
- Low, low price
- Awesome logo
Ladies and gents, I present the Orient CER00008D0

Congratulations on scratching that persistent itch that we WIS's all feel.
I look forward to plenty of pics when it arrives.

Missing manual.

Congratulations! This is very nice piece!
I wish it'll give you that feeling, when a teen puts THE watch on his wrist and screams "YES!"

Looks to be in great condition - and no need to feel any guilt - an itch is a medical condition and treating it promptly is a medical necessity!
