What do you all think of the looks of these two watches. I will be interested in learning more about the brand/model history and reputation if anyone knows. (I am newbie into watches and I know they are not luxury watches so please don't kick me out of this bowl:)

Montblanc definitely counts as luxury! Never heard of OrientStar but that’s a real pretty watch.

Also we have a very loose definition of luxury around here. As long as it’s not a fake or an Invicta, post with pride 😁

D1 It's all good. I can take it 🙂

Microbrand guy here:
Orient is a Seiko brand, and orient star is their slightly higher end version.
There are a lot of guys for whom the Orient Bambino is the entry drug into luxury watches. As long as you don’t pay anywhere near retail for the orient star you’ll be alright. They’re not bad at all in the $300-500 range.

Thanks BAH1. Appreciate the feedback and encouragement!

Reasonably confident the Mont Blanc you posted is not authentic

I think there are better watches in that price range. I’ve admittedly never handled an Orient, but some of their designs are a derivative of a derivative...

Was just offered this by my AD. If I take it will my chances of getting a sub or GMT go up or down? EDIT adding context:
Originally mentioned I wanted a DJ (blue,black,green,wimby) but preferred Sub or GMT. Trying to understand if I buy this am I building social capital or spending it since it’s adding purchase but the watch is still in demand.
