Orient is nice, especially the retrogade

Personally my experience with the 4R36 movement on the SRP227 has not been good. I have an active lifestyle and the winding claw slipped after some 3-6 months. No impact to the watch but used while riding a motorcycle, running etc.

Find that the Miyota 9015 has proved more robust for active persons. I've had a Deep Blue with this movement for over a year and so far no issues.
