Just purchased mine for $229 all in. Excited to throw it on the wrist. Cheers! 🦉⌚️
It’s a nice addition to the line. Was contemplating on copping myself one but I’m very much settled with my red Kamasu which I’ve been long awaiting and love.
Just an excellent review! Thanks
I have the red one. It is soooooooo beautiful. The quality is fantastic, I love this watch.
Such a great looking watch in most any color variation. I really like the Mako 3 & value in this timepiece.
Absolutely love the budget friendly Orient watches...I have the RA-AA0011B as my daily driver Mako (as I believe you've reviewed before) - crazy value for money with that one. I sold off my Bambino 2 some time ago, still regret doing that 😄 Seiko quality for even less than Seiko 🙂

That’s summs it up very well “Seiko quality for even less than a Seiko” 👏🏻👍
this is a contender for a budget desk diver from a main brand. I think for a beater, diving , etc. the Citizen NY0085 models have the edge - ISO cert,wears more compact and lighter (?). It's not as accurate, though. Plus Long Island Watch does specific bracelets for it now. The strapcode for the MaKo 2 ( same case as M3) is better but still weighty.
True in house, looks expensive, feels expensive, works like expensive, it’s fucking luxurious and expensive.
Jeg har den oprindelige Mako, den med en ekstra knap til at ændre dagen. Jeg ville ønske lænken ikke var så klodset og at den snævrede lidt mere ind til ca 17-18mm ved låsen. Jeg købte den som ferie-ur og har været glad for den på en læder/gummi rem fra Hirsch Performance serie. En ting jeg særligt værdsætter er de elegante sværd-formede visere!

Det er et kult ur du har. Jeg fortryder, at jeg i sin tid solgte mit. Det var det orange. Virkeligt sjovt og fint ur 👍
Really nice video :) I gotta ask... you from Denmark?

Did this man caled my champagne dial diver a “silver”? Ehm you no gentleman. 🎩😂😂😂😂
Nice watch my friend I have the previous model,but this is not the Orient Kamasu. This is the new Orient Mako 3.Kamasu and Mako are different watches.

Actually they share the same case and bezel. Just diferent variations of the Ray II. But I love them anyway 😊
Just got mine through warranty because of a defect in my Ray 2!!
The bracelet is not terrible for the price, though it is not good either. I have had worse. I like the 22mm lugs.
That seconds hand tip looks yellow to me.
Nice video! But at 300$ I wouldn't call it a "budget" taking into consideration (as you mentioned in the video) that SM has way better offerings for less money, AND Ray2 + Mako2 were the real budget divers from Orient for half the price. Nevertheless.... it is indeed an affordable watch.

What is “budget” will vary depending on the person, as this concept is mostly subjective. For the most part, anything below $1,000 nowadays could easily be considered “budget” when it comes to watches.
is it fit with 16 cm wrist?

It all depends what you are comfortable with. You should be able to pull it off.
Oh, the bigger crown is nice to see, but I don´t like the new color way .
What happened to your channel Watch On?

Hi. I rebranded it because I’m gathering all my channels under one name. Content will be the same.
The problem with the Orient divers (I've owned 2) is the arrow on the top never aligns perfectly with the top marker. For me, it's a dealbreaker.

I've had that same issue with seiko don't have that issue with my kano or ray 2.
I'll go with the Orient Kano or the Invicta Grand Diver 😎😎😎😎
Going to buy it and immediately change out the bracelet… Did the same thing with my Kamasu … Jubilee solid bracelet with fitted (solid)end-links, and a milled clasp. Tapers from 22 to 18… Transformed into one of my favorite watches… Orient divers have horrible bracelets… And IMO it ruins the wearing experience…

@@TimeAndCrown yes . Think of vulcain skindiver or zodiac. Nobody needs Crown guards. I have never heard of a crown destroyed in normal watch use
