The end links on the bracelet are hopeless, and the bezel doesn't turn but other than that its perfect for what it is.
Hi Liam ?
Yes i have seen coments about the bracelet end links being less than great think i would still prefer the bracelet model though from pics i've seen
As for the Bezel being hard to move i think a chap on WUS or another Forum has done a pictorial on how to lubricate the O ring and alter the retaining ring lug angle that seems to cause the resistance
Mind you not sure if i'm brave or good enough to follow it
I have a pal who works in a small jewellers locally who will likely do this if needed for a couple of quid
It seems these two issues are the main worries for Mako owners whereas the watch itself and movement seems to garner a lot of praise especially at its price point
Regards
RichT[/quote]i don't dive with it, so the bezel not moving hasn't been a problem for me, but I've had the watch about two and a half years, and had to have new spring bars put in and the bracelet reattached at least a dozen times, without exaggeration. The watch is just to heavy for the flimsy end links.
That aside though you won't get better for the money, the accuracy and look of the watch is great.
If your planning on being active with it I'd recommend a different bracelet but at £80 or £90 or whatever they are now I'd recommend it in a heartbeat
