My new watch (This damn editor)

the editor has gone nuts, filling in words randomly.

I've maybe pissed it off, being too bombastic or something.

(Using 'Chrome' for now)
Is my watch (a "Orient F6G4") *really*
an RK-Aw0003S (like the barcode on the box says) or is it the much more
Common "RE-yada-whatever?
I had many pictures, and histories of the world,
https://orphanrocks.blogspot.com/2022/05/history-of-world-stuff.html
And then this editor went insane.
Most of the original (e.g., "Shinola watches")  doesn't matter much anymore. (The editor just ate "Shinola" but I put it back.

The hands are rather black in photos, but iridescent-dark-blue in real life.
I'm glad I'm not in some forum trying to prove that...

The same watch with an antique-toilet patina

Anyway, "Ebay" has tons of RK and RE watches, 3s and 4s, so ...maybe it really is an "RK"

There's this photo I took of the back, when the wrapper was still on the back of the watch.
So it doesn't look clear and that is why.

There's a jewel in there somewhere, I swear.
But this was shrunk and optimized to death.
(Hope yer happy now)

I'm reading a vague statement that says Orient watches are really Epson watches.

Yeah, I know, but then what's the deal with all the movements?

Did craftsmen sweat late-nights creating the perfect movement, only to be conquered assimilated by Epson, and-or is this the "Wonder bread" version (cheap, generic) of what Orient used to be?
(see the blurb above, see the official statement below, I don't know)

https://calibercorner.com/orient-caliber-f6922/ has way more specific info on the subject.

Also a revealing statement that a watch-movement can cost $50.
(yeah but who's going to install the movement?)

"Akita Epson" is the name of the owner and the manufacturer of all Orient movements.

In Yuzawa, Akita, Japan. Or they were when the article was written.

"Tissot" say the voices, is popular. But it's quartz, Battery-powered, 

at least in my price-range or below it.

Hold on, I was totally wrong on the pecking order of Orient watches.

Orient,

Orient Star,

Orient Star Royal,

Royal Orient (right this exact second)

It's like classifying salt or Olives, geez

A totally unrelated but much more sensible link:

 A really unrelated link (on culture wars) has a cute untitled picture:

Watch

Also, there's a missing segment in my companion blog entry, "Russian Watches"

and the apparent interest in them.
They're about as pricey as "Shinola" watches, and look the same. 
I don't plan on adding them soon, plus "reddit" already talks tons about them.

My auto-winding magical-Lever upper-crusty "star" is nice.
