Since getting my Seiko Sea Monster I've fallen in love with the 4 o'clock crown. I keep looking at other watches which have the crown in this position.

Yes, I like the 4 o'clock crown too. Orient is owned by Seiko, but obviously not all of them have the 4 o'clock crown.

I like the 4 o'clock position as well, particularly on mil style watches. Have been wearing this Maratac pilot the last week or two.

Love orient watches. I have the same surveyor you do, very simple yet awesome watch. Love the movement in that one as that orient movement 48473 to me seems more smooth than the 46493 movement found in the Mako, regardless both good movements and for the price hard to beat an Orient. Nice watches. I see that they got hammered on their Valentines day special of 40% off as nearly every watch at Orient USA is out of stock Smile

Nice one Kevin. I have the V1, with the solid back and without the 24hr. I was surprised at the good quality of it and you couldn't beat the price.

My new SlowWatch is not just my Watch-of-the-Day but most likely my watch of the year.
Got it today and love everything about it.

The leather strap here is the 'roughest' and thickest that they have. The other leather ones are rather thin and buttery soft but I wanted something a bit more 'raw' to go with the stainless steel.
(The 'writing' on the back is from an un-peeled plastic sticker) Smile

So in the span of two weeks I've bought both a wallet and a watch - and the last time I bought either of those were 10+ years ago.
I think I'm all leathered-up for spring and summer to arrive. Really happy with both purchases.

Slow Jo 17 watch and Popov wallet.
May it be at least another ten years before I need to replace either of them.
