This is the thread which I can blaim for my purchase

Let me know what you think about this watch. I love it..
Here is one pic from the listing on ebay from where I placed my order. I will post the wrist shots as soon as I get it..

You will love it, the Mako is very good considering it's priced at $100.

Hm, I don't know but when the light bounces off the blue dial it really shines.

I have the Orient Yellow Mako and it is a great everyday watch. Solid and reliable.

Deyn Man · 21 March 2010, 10:16 PM

wow! stunning watch! do you really get more watch for $100?

sunburst · 21 March 2010, 10:53 PM

Congrats on Orient Mako.

It's an another great buy for the money.

I hope you got the Blue Mako as the blue dial has a distinct hue.
Here's mine.

Btw - Kyle has the best photo of Orient Mako that I've ever seen.

It's a nice solid watch, but it's no Rolex. The finish on the case/band is fantastic, I'd say an equivalent to the Mako would be the Seiko Monster, both affordable and great quality.

Good comparison.

Seiko Monster - modern look
Orient Mako - traditional look

Yeah let's see those pics. The Orient watches are a sort of hidden gem. So good for the money.
