Orient mako USA ii question

[tyd450]

I am looking at buying a mako USA ii but it doesn't come with the bracelet. Does anyone know if orient will sell me a stand-alone bracelet for it? Or is there a third party bracelet that will fit it? I heard the strapcode bracelets for the standard mako/ray won't fit the mako USA because the endlinks are a little different and the spring bar placement is as well.

Or is the stock bracelet so shitty that I shouldn't even worry about it? Full disclosure he is asking $150 for the watch head only

So, been a while since I bought an orient...
What the difference between mako and the mako USA?

[tyd450]

Mako USA has sapphire crystal, drilled lugs, bracelet with solid endlinks and the markers on the dial are a little different

Aren’t those like $180 brand new?

No the mako USA version is a little more expensive than the regular ray 2 or mako 2, it has a sapphire crystal and the bracelet has solid end links. When I bought one new with the biggest coupon code at the time it was about $260. I think they just raised the price on them too.

Anyway, I ended up not buying it. I think I want the blue Triton instead.
