very appropriate I would have wanted to suggest calling it the 6RMASS, but no one would have gotten it and I would probably been crucified for making religious connotation (which I was not and pun intended) :)

A tool watch in the service of its master! One question, what

activity do you engage in, on what appears to be a regular basis, that would cause that type of scuffing/abrasive wear on the inner circumference of the bezel?

My wearable... from the 1940s

My wearable from the 1940s for today. This compact and totally mobile piece of gear allows the wearer to know the time even if one is away from the home or office clock, or if one cannot see the town hall clock. This offers great gains in productivity as one is able to adjust their timetable "on the go." Winding the watch just once a day provides more than a day's power.

Seiko owning Orient is a wide-spread misconception.

"Seiko Group" is made up of three holding companies. Seiko Watch Corp. belongs to one holding company: Seiko Holdings Corp.; Orient Watch Co. belongs to another holding company: Seiko Epson Corp.
These two holding companies are completely separate, not even sharing a Board of Directors. So the two watch manufacturers have nothing to do with each other, and one does not own the other in any way.
The only major connection is that both brands get some of their movements from SII (Seiko Instruments, Inc.), the third holding company.
