Orient Kanno Better than Kamasu? Black dial dive watch RA-AA0010B19A

[@edmunddantes4757]

I have the red dial on the bracelet of this one and I put a little ding in the mineral crystal so I switched it for a dd sapphire and i love it. Great review.

[@markloubser2433]

Its the best looking of all the orient divers, love the 50 fathom style. Agree with the bead blasting to de-bling the thing. Pity its mineral glass....

[@propersuiting8293]

plus side to mineral is that it usually reflects light less so you get a nicer view of the dial unless the sapphire has great AR coating, which most don't

[@leath25]

Ive. Got the red bezel with black dial had it for 2 years now ,no problems with the crown on mine.agree the strap is great and the watch looks way better than the other orient versoins.i have a 7 and quater wrist also so fits me perfectly. I had to regulate mine myself not difficult it wws running 12 seconds a day slow, now its 2 seconds a day slow happy with that.

[@greginaustinTX]

well dang that's interesting about the crown b/c all my orient divers have been terrible. It's still a great watch!

I’m in the midst of a few issues with Orient. When I got this watch (same as video) it maintained time well when not wearing but as soon as I put it on and wore it for a few hours it would gain time quickly. We’re talking I’d set it to my iPhone clock and after 2 hours it would gain around 20-25 seconds. Sent it back and waited forever for it to get returned. Got it back and all seemed well but I would wear it and seemed like I’d always have to wind it more often. After deciding to try and get this one a little more accurate (was gaining about 15 seconds a day) I opened it up to find there is no more auto winding mechanism. So either they swapped out the movement for a non-auto winding one or they removed it…not sure. Anyhow, in talks with Orient once again to see what the deal is as the auto wind feature was part of the reason I bought this watch.

Regarding the strap I am in complete agreement. A large gtoup hates on the silicone strap from a lot of different manufacturers. They are always my first choice. Again from many different manufacturers. IMHO this watch resemables the casio duros looks. Thank you for posting.

[@greginaustinTX]

Thank you!

[@Limitless415]

Siiike!!!!😂 Def like this in the red dial black bezel or black dial red bezel. You’re watch looks amazing w the sandblasting.

[@kevinfestner6126]

I'm waiting on the orient neptune triton, the baby with the pepsi bezel. Correctemente, Orient is the best value in watches. Coming in second place, I have to say, is Tissot. And, don't ignore Citizen. My personal issue with the blue orient star dive is that it looks like my mido sea star. If I go with a black face, I want to have fun with a vostock.

[@greginaustinTX]

Neptune Triton has always looked nice to me, lemme know if ya grab one! I'll be honest I'm not a huge Mido fan but that's just me, and I totally agree with you on Tissot. I mean $450 grey market to get a swiss Tissot 90 hour power reserve Gentleman! That's crazy!

[@claytonmedders6907]

I have the blue dial version on a bracelet and have to agree it’s an awesome watch. My only criticism is I wish the bezel had minute markers on it.

[@gipgap4]

I have the hulk version and I prefer this to the Kamasu which whilst it has a sapphire crystal, it’s Uber reflective as the glass has no AR coating.

[@greginaustinTX]

yeah i cannot stand no AR on glass. glare drives me nuts

[@barryvercueil2346]

Bead blasting looks incredible. I have the Kanno in Blue. Awesome watch. Great size. I also recommend the Triton. Cheers.

[@greginaustinTX]

Hey thanks! Yeah I seriously have thought about buying a couple more Kanno's (especially the green) and sending it off for blasting just b/c this one came out so sweet! cheers

[@bikerd72]

totallay agree with you. I once tried both on and i prefered the dimensions (outside and dial) of the kano. but obviously that is a personal thing. the person who enabled me to try them on had the opposite view 🤭

[@greginaustinTX]

Seems like most have the view that Kamasu is better, and rightly so for the specs, but I like my Kanno best!

[@patrickyoung2106]

Looks nice. Similar styling to the SEIKO 143. Going to look into this model.

[@greginaustinTX]

And it’s less $$

[@MrModcat]

Looks awesome sand-blasted! I hope I can find someone as good locally for one of my watches.

[@greginaustinTX]

Yeah you should seriously give him an email. I tried calling other stores and people who did sandblasting but was not impressed.

[@Alwaysontime-dh1gz]

I've had a few of those, beautiful however I found the crown mechanism a little rough

[@greginaustinTX]

It’s terrible

[@pritpalc]

Yes it is.

[@Tom_H327]

"Psyyych!" I literally LOL'd 😂

[@greginaustinTX]

Hahahahahahah. I’m glad somebody appreciates it!

[@liquid_b]

I'm looking for get a Kano for my first mechanical watch. Love how it looks with the sand blasted finish. Can I ask aproximitly how much it costs to get this done?

[@greginaustinTX]

it was about $140

[@arnoldgibbs3089]

The wobbly stem is the way it is on purpose. Why I don’t know. All I know is the watch works very well. Japanese companies would never let a flaw like that out for sale.

[@greginaustinTX]

hmmmm that's interesting. It's definitely on every orient diver I've owned. thanks for info

[@jesusbaena8435]

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement bezel for the kanno I want it to look more like the kamassu

[@greginaustinTX]

I wish I did sorry

[@petervernelen6784]

It definitely looks much better than the kamasu, just a tad too big even for my 7.3-inch wrist.

[@greginaustinTX]

It is a larger size but it’s not chunky so it doesn’t wear as big as others but yes it definitely has a commanding presence.

[@petervernelen6784]

@Greg in Austin would you say it wears somewhat smaller than a casio duro, since on the limit for my wrist size

[@greginaustinTX]

@@petervernelen6784 never had a duro. Always been tempted.

[@baroquer]

I love ORIENT, and I can't stand SKX's either My man...🤗

[@soultruesk8rlifelong]

Love the SKX rant. Seems like everyone has one just to fit in and I’ve always found it so ugly

[@greginaustinTX]

word

[@nartlambaz]

I bought three . Black , red , and the limited edition white dial watches . For the price this is one amazing good looking watch .

[@greginaustinTX]

Ooooh that white one is so cool

[@tooththrhr]

I think my orient ray looks way better. I think orient should just do a no date no day version. Vintage guilt on the bezel and dial markers. I have the first ray, and the lack of hand winding is annoying

[@greginaustinTX]

I like the Ray a lot. I should send that for sand blasting too

[@yaserg84]

Since the crown is wobbling. There might be a reason for shock proof

[@mowo5112]

Beautiful! 💪🏻👍🏻

[@greginaustinTX]

Thank you 🙌

[@zhanatomarov3984]

Mesh strapcode braselet must have on this Kanno!

[@nomiguda]

What model are you referring to?

[@NeoWahNah]

Hahaha! Sikeeee!

[@greginaustinTX]

haha, you like that? You must be over 40 lol. Sometimes I saw that around Millennials. They don't know what to do with it

[@dcamnc1]

I also dislike the skx. I had one in the 90's and sold it for $20. Never cared for it.

[@greginaustinTX]

Hahaha I was being stupid but yeah. So tired of people comparing to the SKX. It means nothing to the vast majority of watch owners

[@gren509]

Nolume on the bezel - that''s a mistake !

[@greginaustinTX]

Yeah that would’ve been supreme! But the lume itself is pretty decent for the price.

[@NathanChisholm041]

Get a Triton or Neptune as it's called its king. I've had them all and the Triton is well built...

[@greginaustinTX]

Theres a really sweet Triton ive eye balled for long time it's green

[@carforumwanker]

Too big .Get rid of the day/date
