I am sure that this watch is a fake, not the real East. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed that the inscription at the bottom of the dial is a bit crooked. The real test, however, is accuracy. Even in entry-level models, oriental movements are traditionally reliable. I've been monitoring for a few days and this watch literally loses up to 5 HOURS a day. Of course, this is unacceptable and a sign of a fake with a Chinese mechanism. Having bought 4 Orient watches in the past I know this is not the standard for this Japanese company. Buyer Warning.
