the new orient mako
http://orientwatchusa.com/blog/2015/06/ ... -mako-usa/
We are excited to bring you the Mako USA, the newest version of our popular Mako diver. It’s been slightly redesigned with feedback from the watch community in mind. It now includes a sapphire crystal, solid endlinks, drilled lug holes, and a 120-click bezel. The dial also glows more bright with Nemoto LumiNova®, a top-of-the-line lume pigment.
The Mako USA is now available for presale in Jet Black, Stark White, and Royal Blue, and is expected to ship July 1, 2015. Only available here at orientwatchusa.com!

Amazing price considering the upgrades. This will be a top seller.
I think I might waot for a yellow or orange special edition however... There's bound to be one, right!?

Re: the new orient mako
My first thought is - How much for the increased spec. ?
I am not sure if I preferred the numbers, but it does look more symmetrical now.
I think I favour the white one, although it has now got more of a Seiko feel about it.
Thanks for posting I am off to have a look.

Love the Sword hands but I'm not digging the indices sadly.
Where was the price - did I miss that ?

Remember, tho, they rarely sell at retail. Even on the orient site, it's usually 30% off.

Re: the new orient mako
Good on the upgrades, but the original 6-9-12 Mako dial is much more to my liking.
Re: the new orient mako
I managed to snag a blue 'Ray' and it is very similar to this new Mako. Great watches for the price and the increased spec makes it a bargain. The white face will do me as I have a collection of other colours already!

Re: the new orient mako
I still think the Mako Ray is by far the best looking of the Makos.
Not too keen on this new one - as someone else says, it just looks like a cheap Seiko 5, and not so cheap anymore either

Re: the new orient mako
I think it looks great and at £150 RRP it's still a bargain, albeit not quite as much a bargain as the Mako v1.
Sadly though, according to the blog post:
