I have a 6 and a half inch wrist and I currently own a Mako II Pepsi bezel and my god the watch is gorgeous. Videos and pictures don't do it justice. My father owns a Seiko solar chrono and some MK designer watches and he always compliments how nice my watch is. Planning on getting him a Ray II for his B-day.

@jacc8888810 ай бұрын
Excellent comparison of these two. I never realised that the bezel and hands differed and there was no lume on the seconds hand of the Mako 2 and the lume was not so good. Weirdly I prefer the look of the Ray off the wrist and the Mako on the wrist. Still can’t make up my mind which to get. In any case I’d get the blue version as love the sunburst effect on those ones.
@evanspivack27145 жыл бұрын
Nice double review and comparison. I love my Ray II, and find it works well in most settings. I have the blue version, and the dial is beautiful. I agree with you about the bracelets, but have found that I actually enjoy the Ray's bracelet more and more as I wear it. Lume is superb! I prefer the Ray, but the Mako is a great watch too. Looking forward to seeing more of your vids!
@rickybobby59502 жыл бұрын
I just discovered Orient watches and ended up buying 4 of them from eBay before I could stop myself. I now have 2 Mako II, a black and a Pepsi, and 2 blue Rays, one of which was already modded to look like a Deep Sea with a sub-style bezel and lumed ceramic insert with a DD sapphire and 2 of them came with Island Watch jubilee bracelets already installed. I paid between $100 and $130 for each of them and I feel like I got a lot of value for not a lot of money. I ordered a couple different bezels and inserts along with some sapphire crystals and I am going to build a few different variations and mix and match parts to make some unique pieces. I have added a blue Auqaracer style mock-o-dile strap with deployant clasp to the ‘Deep Sea’ and it looks like it should cost way more than it does and I get compliments every time I wear it. I have so little in them that I can always put them back on eBay if I ever decide to thin the collection or just give them away to someone in the family that likes watches and feel like I got my money’s worth and then some.

I just ordered the exact ray 2 you have in this video. While I agree with you on the bracelets (liking the mako over the ray) the more I looked at photos of the ray bracelet, the more I saw an "omega seamster" feel to it that I can't unsee. I think that bracelet adds just an extra touch of class over the mako. I have plenty of other 22mm straps, nato, rubber, etc and I think that bracelet will fill a gap that I do not currently have. Now if only my ray will hurry up and get here!

I think the Kamasu is a great watch with great value. Also with a Saphire crystal at that price is great. I own a blue Kamasu and I swapped the factory bracelet for a strap code Jubilee. It looks and feels like a more expensive watch. For me the only down side to the Kamasu was the factory bracelet. It wasn't horrible but swapping it with a strap code Jubilee made a huge difference!
