nice Derek! :thumbsup:
I had a go at the seiko rubber myself and tried using the fat spring bars... you might have trouble getting the ends in the lug holes as i guess some of the holes aren't equally as uniform in size ( i had trouble fitting in the bar on my bottom right lug). I might have a go at fitting in a fat bar sleeve on a regular or thin bar.

Thanks for the comparison with the other watches for size reference aswell :headbang:
Regards,
Ian

Nice review. The accuracy of these Orients have been better than what I've gotten from Seiko 7s'. I messed up my Mako and I like the black one there.

The hands/lume on my orange Mako have a very slight pink tint to them. I couldn't pick anything similar out in your video. Any comments?


* I'll have a new yellow Mako to compare it to in a few days ... --I-N-C-O-M-I-N-G--

Excellent, Derek! :clap:

I'm going to give my own mini review soon. I am very impressed by this watch and I'm having a hard time believing it is so inexpensive. Makes one wonder why we spend so much money on the other ones! :lol:

Keep up the good work!

I totally agree! It's kind of annoying that the Mako is so good. It makes me feel dumb for spending so much more on other watches. :oops:

I'm not the best person to ask about colors. :oops: I haven't noticed any pink on mine tho. :gayumbrella:
