Orient Star Sports Diver RE-AU0301L (RE-AU0301L, RK-AU0301L). Current Prices, JDM Listings, Market Analysis
The Orient Star Sports Diver RE-AU0301L is a JDM-market dive watch from Orient's premium Star line, sold under both the RE-AU0301L and RK-AU0301L reference numbers depending on the market and retailer. Tonbo tracks it because Orient Star pieces occupy an interesting middle tier in the secondary market, priced high enough to warrant careful sourcing but accessible enough to attract steady buyer interest. The current US median sits around $800, positioning it as a considered purchase rather than an impulse buy. With a thin data set behind the current pricing, this is a model where due diligence pays off before committing.
Current US Market Value
The US median for the Orient Star Sports Diver RE-AU0301L is estimated at $800, with the middle 50% of transactions falling between $650 and $1,000. That's a $350 spread, which is wide relative to the median price and reflects real uncertainty rather than a stable consensus. The pricing data here is operator-estimated and carries a 🟠quality flag, meaning it is built from a sample size of just three observations. Three data points can suggest a directional range but cannot anchor a confident valuation. Anyone researching the RE-AU0301L price should treat these figures as a starting framework and cross-reference against current listings before making a move. As more transactions are recorded, the confidence level will improve.
Active JDM Listings
There are no active Japanese marketplace listings for the Orient Star Sports Diver RE-AU0301L in the past 14 days. That absence is itself useful information. Low Japanese listing frequency can mean the model holds its value well among domestic owners, or it can mean the watch is simply uncommon in circulation right now. Either way, buyers looking for RE-AU0301L for sale through JDM channels will need to be patient or set up alerts to catch inventory when it surfaces. When listings do appear, they typically show up across the major Japanese auction and resale platforms that Tonbo monitors continuously.

Recent Alert History
No strict-match or opportunity-tier alerts have fired for the Orient Star Sports Diver RE-AU0301L in the past 90 days. This means the model has not appeared in Japanese listings at a price point that would trigger a value signal against the estimated US median. That could reflect the thin listing frequency noted above, or it could mean that when units do appear, they are priced close to or above the estimated US import value, leaving little margin after fees and shipping. It is not a red flag, but it does confirm that this is not a model generating regular arbitrage windows at the moment.
Japan vs. US Price Gap
JDM Orient Star pieces often carry a modest premium in the US market because they are not officially distributed through US retail channels, and buyers factor in the cost and friction of sourcing from Japan. When units are bought from Japanese platforms, the landed cost typically includes deputy service fees, domestic Japanese shipping, international shipping, and import duties, which can add $80 to $150 or more to the final price depending on the method used. The primary risk factor for this model is not sourcing complexity but comp thinness. With only three recorded US transactions underpinning the $800 median, the gap calculation is imprecise, and a buyer using that median to evaluate a Japanese listing is working with softer numbers than they might realize. The Tonbo signals page shows how alert thresholds are set for models with thin comps like this one.
