I've been looking at this watch ever since I started watch collecting. It's a very nice piece, a bit overpriced though in my opinion. Great video Josh, how nice of Matt to send you this watch!

Awesome watch looks a lot more expensive than it is for sure. Matt is the man. Great video brother... Great to see the movement actually. Something that many don't do for a quartz.

It’s a great looking piece. Has been on my radar for awhile until Matt gifted me my Dan Henry. Need to get that reviewed as well. Didn’t realize reading the time was difficult. The date window is small. Mineral crystal is a negative you can see as you chipped it where a sapphire would’ve helped up.

😅 Yeah I was a little surprised when I looked down and saw the mineral crystal like that! I don’t even know what happened! Thanks for watching pal! Looking forward to your review of the Dan Henry! That’s a nice one!

just fell in love with this watch again after changing the strap on mine - as i had a tan strap that didn't work for me (plus it tapered down at the buckle too much..)...just tried with a james bond nato and works great! my only gripe is that the hands are hard to see at times...

@@TheTownWatch Also, just found out that the bracelets that Strapcode makes for the Mako II / Ray II are compatible with the New 70's ... I tried one of their bracelets for my Kamasu and I'm very happy with it, so once I receive my Neo 70 (yes, I could not resist it, it looks really nice) I will check it, and if I want to replace the bracelet, I'll probably try one by Strapcode

Nice review. The watch does look nice. I would not know for sure, but this movement is set up the same way as seiko’s VK75. It’s solar, and has the same sub dials. I had a Seiko Diver chronograph with the same layout. Also, its not mechaquartz. On a mechaquartz, the chrono hands snap back like on a mechanical chrono. On this, they reset slowly,, and clockwise, like a standard quartz.
