It would be nice to find out for sure.. but who to ask??minidriver_2009 said:Weren't the original Orient LCD modules co-developed with Sharp?
Interesting and maybe a rare find.anzac1957 said:This one just came into my possession complete with original box..
Thanks.. Can you provide a link to the timeline you are referring as the one I found didn't include any mention of Sharp electronics.. Always like to know more about whatn I have in the collection..minidriver said:Unfortunately, finding information about vintage Orient digital watch calibers is proving to be an exercise in futility. However, it is very doubtful that Orient had the know-how and production capability to develop their own LCD modules. The company time line lists the 1974 release of the Orient LCd watch as having been co-developed with Sharp electronics. Make sense to me.
Perhaps someone fluent in Japanese could email Orient Japan. Perhaps there's a "Tokunaga" of Orient. Incidentally, how did Tokunaga-san learn of the SCWF?anzac1957 said:It would be nice to find out for sure.. but who to ask??
and they didn't require me to be fluent in Japanese either.. I find that they are usually very helpful..Selym said:Perhaps someone fluent in Japanese could email Orient Japan. Perhaps there's a "Tokunaga" of Orient. Incidentally, how did Tokunaga-san learn of the SCWF?
EDIT: Woops! I see you have emailed Orient Japan. My apologies for not reading the entire thread before posting.![]()
