Review: Orient Symphony IV (the underrated Orient)
Orient RA-AC0F10S
SPB313 or SPB143
Any JDM watches/shops to recommend?

Omg thanks bringing my attention to this watch as well the OP’s @WatchWookiee watch! Been itching to get a 62MAS recreation for a while now, but after seeing and trying the SPB143 in person, I felt that it was underwhelming (and funnily enough, overbearing in weight). I couldn’t pull the trigger. If I’m still thinking about getting such a watch in the next few months, these San Martins are definitely high up in my list!
Some might argue this is even more “62 MAS” than the Seiko ones 🙃
Lovely collection, particularly the Nomos Tetra. It’s been on my “just curious” wishlist for a while now.
Oh damn, that makes it even more “risky” on whether it’s possible to get one with or without hackable movement. Perhaps my best luck would be on the resale market 🙃 Thanks anyways!
If branding is important to you (which is absolutely fine and doesn’t mean you’re a snob), don’t settle for a homage. But if you don’t care for branding, then a homage is exactly your cup of tea. Some homage brands can give you similar (or even better) specifications than their muses.
Seems like both you and @WatchWookiee both got models with the hackable movement. It’s so strange though. I was just in the citizen flagship store in Japan (which also houses Bulova within) and all their new watches were not hackable. The staff even told me they were using the movement that was not hackable. That was the buzzkill that stopped me from making my purchase. May I know where you both purchased your watches with the hackable movement?
