Selling another of my Orient Stars in a general effort to offset some earlier purchases as well as reduce the overall number in my collection. A very funky, retro looking piece, the WZ0171ER automatic Limited Edition.

This is one I did not think I would sell anytime soon as it's very hard to find, only 800 were more and this is #363. It has a magnificent looking dial, white but with this pearlescent look that makes it look either cream or light blue in different lighting & blued hands .
Beautiful cushion type case with original oyster style bracelet, full links (will fit up to 8 inch wrist or so)

Condition is good for a watch of this age, there are typical scratches on bracelet , some finer ones on the head but no deep dings, should polish off rather easily if one would want to do that. Have a look at the many photos.

Case size is 38mm but due to the cushion case it wears larger, like a 40-41mm round case. 20mm lugs, 45mm lug-to-lug and quite slim at 12mm, wears very comfortably.

It has lume on markers/hands and its actually very good!

Had it on the winder since Monday to observe timekeeping before posting it and it's 8-9 seconds fast per day, this will probably get better with time as I haven't wore it for quite some time and usually it's better on the wrist than the winder.

The lovely high-domed crystal has one tiny mark on the top near 12, only visible under certain angles and pretty much impossible to photograph as I've tried but could not "catch" it. There is no box as I have unfortunately misplaced it somehow during a move, all I have is the original cushion it came with but it will be packed very carefully with plenty of padding to ensure safe arrival to the buyer.

I am looking for a fast sale and thus the bargain price of only £155 , firm, (or the equivalent in dollars or euros), which will include tracked shipping to EU/UK. I've seen the non-limited edition model sell for more than my asking price, such as HERE & some eBay listings, whereas this limited edition model I couldn't even find any sales threads!!, since its obviously much rarer so possibly not many ever left Japan.

Will not restrict this sale geographically especially since this is a limited edition piece so I'd rather it go to a collector such as myself, wherever you might be, but the postage might be 2-3 quid extra to certain locations. If not sold by Friday, this will be off to eBay so act quick!

PayPal, or bank transfer if you are in E.U. and wish to pay in EUR (in which case I will deduct the 4% PayPal fee). This carried a retail price of ¥45,000 way back in 2002!

Any questions, please ask. Pics taken earlier today.
