Great review on this new Orient. I own 4 Orient watches . The latest Mforce watch, the Mforce Bravo watch, the first Orient Triton with power reserve and just recently purchased a Orient Ray 2 with Orange dial . Orient is definitely the new what Seiko use to be to watch collectors. They make amazing watches at very affordable prices.

I’ve been looking at investing in orient M Force limited edition

I think Orient watches stand on their own against any competitor. I have Seiko’s as well, which I like also. I don’t understand why anyone would pay Rolex prices for a product that is no better than Orient. Maybe they feel insecure getting excellence for a reasonable price.

Thank you for the review. I am thinking of buying an Orient diver and I am leaning towards the RA-AC0K04E10B because I like the 4 c'clock crown position.
And yes, Seiko's current prices have soured me on the brand. I recently bought a Seiko Atlas SKZ211K1 for a very reasonable price... the lowest priced Seiko diver type watch I could find. I am happy with it and especially like the quirky compass feature.

I love the 6 9 12 numerals on the dial and the bigger crown vs the Kamasu, which just has way too small of a crown, IMO. I got a Mako 3 a few days ago, in the grey dial version. It’s a killer watch! Also, in my experience, the Orient F6922 performs better and more consistently than the Seiko NH35 movement. I really like the Mako 3 and it has not left my wrist since I got it, which for me is the best measure of how much I’m enjoying a watch. I still like my Kamasu, but that tiny crown is hard for my big fingers to grip. Agreed that the Mako 3 is a winner. The price, while not too bad, should come down a bit soon.

I got it and i love it. Dial is killer and that green bezel is ❤

If the Bambino ever comes out with a sapphire crystal, I’ll get one

Mako 3 and Kamusu are definitely the new SKX with better movt & crystal for the same price. SKX design/look is unrivaled though but sadly it is a martyr now.

Great review. What a stunning watch. This one is going to be a hit for Orient, great value.

Skx Is trash compared to mako. Mako caliber is better than much more expensive Seikos. I own dozens of Seikos and lot of makos and makos is way more accurate

[joejo]

other words a miserable movement that has been around forever and highly unreliable for those who do not spend all day exercising their arms or briskly walking swinging their cannot hand wind the bloody thing up and over time the movement gets "sticky" and less and less ceases to wind itself up sufficiently. Orient or Seiko are not fit to tie the boot laces of a Citizen (which can, of course, be wound up by hand !). not buy your grandfather an automatic Orient or a Seiko !
