Thank you for watching. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The bracelet is put together with pins, I purchased the red dail very beautiful.
Thank you and pinned!
I purchased the red dail too
No collars?
Resized the bracelet today. Yep, it uses pins without collars.
@@manny7886 Thanks!
Lol you said "oyster".... Uh oh! The Rolex Boogie Man is coming for you now...!!!
Freudian!
he only comes to authorised dealers
Great video!
I am recently retired, at age 51. That makes me a guy who still has enough energy to need something to do, in need of a hobby. So, I took up watch collecting.
Now, the US Navy pays my pension, so I am NOT in the Rolex collecting crowd. But that fact makes the hobby way more fun! Anyone can just go out and pay their own personal top dollar for everything, but where is the sport in that? By both necessity and choice, MY hobby is doing the work and finding the hidden gems out there.
Most people believe that price and quality have a cause and effect relationship. I know better, because my degree is in marketing, and UI spent my post military career in sales. There are many factors that go into setting price points, and quality is only a minor consideration in those decisions. Every watch I have is superior quality...and none, so far, have cost more that $300. That's the challenge in it!
So my sport is finding the watches with superior quality that are NOT insanely expensive. Needless to say, I have every Pagani design Rolex Homage in my collection already.
Today, I had honed in and started the decision process between the Kamasu and the Kano. They are very similar watches, one being a bit bigger than the other. The ultimate deciding factor was...the Sapphire crystal on the Kamasu.
Every watch in my collection has sapphire, save one. The one exception is the Stuhrling Paul Newman...because I just had to have a Paul Newman (with a Sean Connery nato strap, mind you).
I just don't understand it. I am not averse to price, if I find something that I think is better than it's price. I'll pay 5 hundo, or a grand for a collection piece...so long as the quality convinces me that it is worth it. I likes the Kano, but that glass crystal just ruined the whole package on it. For $40.00 more in price, I could have the Kamasu with Sapphire over the dial. To me, that was a no brainer.
Anyway, thanks for the video. It is what reminded me to look at the crystal specs and caused me to pick the right piece for me.
I really like the black and silver Kamasu! Another excellent video Mark. Thank you very much for taking the time to show all the colors of each version!!!
Thank you for watching.
Just received my Triton from you today. Incredible watch! The bracelet however is a pin and collar so I'd say it's likely these are the same. Thanks again for the A++ service as always Marc. You set the bar very high!
I'm hearing these are standard cotter pins.
I bought the red kamasu back in January from a Japanese distributor since it wasn't released to the US yet. The bracelet is open endlinks so I switched it to a Barton Rubber strap and haven't looked back. I wouldn't think the JDM version is much different. The bracelet is your standard push pins to resize. Beautiful watch for sure.
The Jade Green one is really good. Looks very classy.
Sure is!
Proud owner,
People now call me Bond... James Bond
Hi guys, I just ordered the Kamasu Green bazel, my intital choice was kano maroon but after this video, I think kamasu is way better just for few features which are, saphire glass and size...looking forward to wear it 😁BTW thanks for the guide, is awesome 👍
The maroon Kamasu is beautiful.
Thanks.
Yes you're right about the Tudor resemblance....
I think it's because of the mat coloured bezel and the big white indecies, that resemble those of the Tudor Pelagos.
Great interview as always! 👍
The Kano with the burgundy bezel is fantastic !
I bought the red dial version and it's really stunning. I don't own the green dial version, but one of my friends picked it up and, although it's a good-looking watch, calling it "green" is a stretch. The dial is a very reflective, deep turquoise/teal -- much closer to blue than green -- and the bezel looks almost black. And this is in bright light. In dim light, the dial and bezel look black. Colorways aside, this is a really nice watch.
Saw these in the store, and knew the video was imminent - thanks for sharing, digging the green and two tone.
Thank you!!!!
Good looking lineup! I'm hoping to invest in my first Orient diver soon!
9:10 I got the same exact Tudor vibe from Kano. I think it's especially close to Tudor Black Bay Heritage that came a few years ago. the maroon and black bezel ones are very similar to Tudor
As always very good review! I have been looking hard at getting one of these watches for myself!
The maroon red is my favorite! We get so many blue, blacks, green, pepsi...but not red. I love red watches and the maroon red Kamasu looks awesome!
Hello Mike, i love your channel, especially the watch presentation. I'm wearing a seiko field watch; i also have a collection of different watchbrands. God bless. Keep up the good work.
Orient is listening to customers. Learn from them, you Seiko.
For sure.
Seiko owns 52% of orient company
@@stevenholmes4339 Epson owns Seiko and Orient, They are sister companies.
@@GeorgeJacob96 *Seiko Epson owns Orient, Seiko watches owned by Seiko. Seiko Watch and Orient Watch are from different parent company but in the same Seiko Group
Watch the 17mm lug on the mini Bambino episode. Lol
Excellent review!! Thank you so much !! Love all Orient watches !!
Important Announcement! I own the Orient Kamasu in red and blue. The red dial plays with the light in a way that the blue dial does NOT. I bought the red one first, loved it and then bought a blue one because I thought it would be similar. This is not the case. The blue is nice, but just plain and boring and has nothing of the "spark" that the red one has.
Buy the red one, ignore the others!
Fully agree with you on that green one (looks great)!
Thanks for sharing and have a great Easter weekend 👍🍻
Thank you! Same to you.
The Kamasu choice of colors is amazing!!
Maybe too much.
Love the green one!!! Great video, Mark!!
Thank you.
Thanks Marc. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Remember, I just asked about the Kano. Both look great. Wish the Kano came with a sapphire crystal. Sweet watches.
Thanks! Maybe a sapphire Kano in the future.
Love the maroon dial!:-)
That rubber strap adjustment and the pause killed me
I just received the Kamasu red dial today and it is absolutely stunning! 😍👍
Hang in there Friend,,always enjoy your stuff.
The Komasu nails it for me a really great looking watch with great specs. Think your right, it’s a winner.
Diver collection is getting out of control, but I just love them SO much! Help 😁
Thanks for watching, Mark.
Love the look of the Kano ,all great tho and amazing value ,
The OEM bracelet of the Mako II does fit the Kamasu! So you guys know...
I literally got a Ray Raven II today... Heck, I'm gonna be dreaming about that black and gold two tone for a while now.
Razeen Mujarrab that is a beautiful watch, I just couldn’t justify it with a rubber strap at the same price as the metal bracelet ones
Quite like the Kano , might stick one on the list , as my next purchase , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
0:46 'So much time and so little to do' You can feel the pressure :)
Very nice all of them.
I am not much for red but that maroon one was beautiful.
You know me and Green is like you and Blue.
Hearing you call the green one Awsome was music to my ears. If I start save up today I might be able to get the Green one in a few months.
Thanks Peder!
I have the 'Blue Kamasu' with rubber straps and can highly recommend it over the Kano, in particular cause of the fact, that it has a sapphire crystal. Bumped into a vice, at my dad's shop, this weekend and although the bezel did take some scratching, the crystal looks as good as new, also a 41 mm-ish watch should be a perfect fit for almost any wrist, with a superior quality finish! Thanks for the overview!
Yes
I also have a kamasu with a rubber strap. Its super comfortable.
Hi Mark, I just reviewed the red on my channel. Great value watch. Love it. Also put it on a strapcode jubilee bracelet, perfect fit. Cheers!
That blue Kamasu is sooo nice 😍
I like the larger crown on the Kano, and love that maroon bezel Kano on the strap, just wish they were 41mm.
just ordered one , the KANO black - seems like a good watch to do daily activities in, have owned 4 mako 1+2's in the past and def love the kano style better :D
I bought a Ray II from you a few months ago. I may have to pick one of these up now.
Ray II very good I have blue. Ladia from Prague
Ah, the blue Kamasu looks splendid, and is the perfect size. But I'm waiting for strapcode to make some solid end link bracelets for it. (The mako/ray ones doesn’t fit perfectly according to forums). I’m also hesitant because I had a bad experience with the movement last time (Pretty crap in many aspects actually, but maybe a dud)
When I saw the maroon dial, I had to have one. Pins, no collars!!! Super easy to adjust. Beautiful watch.
How it holds up?
Kamasu markers look exactly like my Seiko SBDC053: the 62MAS derived model that's cheaper than the SLA (all except the 12.00 marker). I think they look great!
The green and the maroon dial/black bezel are to die for. Currently my cheapest diver is a bit over the $1000 mark, so maybe I get one of those to have a proper beater for when I simply don’t want to care. They look somewhat light too, which is a plus. I don’t like when a watch is too heavy.
(watched this on my way to an oyster jubilee...) i thought Tudor too - it's the matte aluminum bezel. my father's day wish list is complete - thanks! (I wish orient would drill the lugs)
Thanks for pointing that out.
Hi Marc just bought the Kano with the red bezel
Black face for 153.00pounds from Amazon uk.love it ,fits great on my 7 and a half wrist.bargain price I think for a automatic plus hacking. The strap is the same material as the seiko prospex line as well.
I just bought the kamasu black and gold with rubber strap, and I love it. I Kanno has the perfect size for my wrist. Really thinking in getting one.
I love these Orient Watches!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks. Me too!
Orient knows how to build on past success. They know who they are and what works for them. Thanks for the video. The maroon dial is in my future.
Exactly!
Thanks for the update. May have to pick up one of the Kamasku models. They look great.
Thanks Rob!
So much time so little to do~ lol! Keep it up Marc
:)
Really dig the Kamasu. Top triangle reminds me of Zodiac just a tad. Really like the hands. On the Kano, not crazy about the mismatch in color between indices and hands, but love sapphire on the Kamasu. This is the first image i've seen of the green Kamasu that really catches the dial color and bezel color. You beat the H pout of the Orient site on that regard. Thanks!
Yeah, their photos are lackluster. The green needs a dousing of light.
I love that red Kano. Kind of like my grail watch, the Black Bay.
I got into watches too late for the M-Force (which saddens me since I have large wrist). I do like the red bezel Kano but I'm still waffling between the red bezel Kano and the two tone Triton. The decision would be easy if the Kano came with a bracelet option.
On the Kamasu the lume pip is what I would call protected now as its set into the bezel insert. Its not sitting above the insert where it can get damaged or yellowed. The other thing is that the hour markers are an off white which match nicely with lots of non-metal straps.
Cool, thanks!
Been waiting for this review
Thanks.
I have the red bezel Kano, it wears smaller than you'd think and is really comfortable. Highly recommended
And the rubber is quite comfy.
Kamasu dial is definitely more of an evolution of the Mako USA than the Ray.
For sure.
That was my thought when pictures first started showing up. They seem like a great addition for Orient.
Thanks for the review Marc. I'm curious. With the blue face, is it more like the original mako or more like the Mako 2 .
I cant unsee the Tudorness of the Kano!
Marc, thanks for the video. I’ve known about these watches for about six months now waiting for the release. I love your video compared to Orient’s stock pictures. It does the dials justice. I think you think of Tudor with the Kano because of the maroon bezel/black dial one looks like an original Black Bay. You put me in a quandary. Blue dial or maroon dial. Hmmmm. Decisions decisions!!! All the best-Mark
Thanks so much. I appreciate the feedback!
Hey Marc, any news regarding mods for the orient kamasu? It would be a perfect modding watch.
Love the maroon and green dial models.
Great lookin watches. I love my USA mako's II in black, blue and white.
Good vid Marc. Thank you.
both of the watches with red look great. my pick of the bunch is the red dial for sure
Thanks!
Mark. Absolutely look forward to each and every video you produce and soon to be a customer. I am wondering if you have seen Orient's new line of watches called "the Commuter Series" and in their prop lines they say "... It's water resistant up to 50m and powered by our in-house manufactured automatic Calibre F6922...". The wording is a little dodgy and I am thinking that the thinking that their movements are produced in THEIR house might be a stretch. Is there a chance that they contract some facility somewhere to actually make their movements or has it ever been actually verified that Orient actually designs, sources materials, machines, tests and assembles everything in their own "house"? Or possibly Seiko or Sea-Gull makes them? Thanks again.
I have a 7 & 3/4-inch wrist and my daily is a Casio GX-56BB, but the legibility is terrible. So I recently bought a Kano ...and although the legibility is brilliant, the watch itself feels kinda tiny! Lovely watch though, so I've ordered a Triton and have my eye on an M-Force too.
Mako XL still the best looking affordable Orient diver. Blue dial, bezel with inner silver ring, beautiful lugs and case shape.
Timeless watch, love my blue one.
Great work Marc
Thank you.
Have the green one 3 days now. Very interesting dial colour. Different shades depending on the light
Nice, hope you like it.
Great Video Mark. Couple of questions. 1. Which do you think looks better on the Kamaso,, Green or Red dial? 2. Can I get that black rubber strap on either of the Kamaso? Thanks
"So little time so little to do." I think you meant something else lol. The maroon and hunter green are definitely eye catching.
;)
Red Kamasu and Blue Ray II, the only two divers I will ever need
Wow, okay then. Very nice. Love the red.
Thanks.
Yes! Orient dive watches with a bezel with full minute tracks.
Yeah, nice detail isn't it?
Great watches Orient Is a fantastic producer
Hi Mark, will you be getting the Red Kamasu back in stock anytime soon? A month after your video they are already sold out.
Also, is there a display case back that is available for the the Kamasu? Do you know if there are any others that would fit that are maybe made for the Mako or Ray watches?
Thanks for the great info and videos you post.
Hey Mark, with the Kamasu, when pulled all the way is the crown sketchy? Thanks for the input.
I have the gold and black kamasu. It looks great on a two tone biege and black Nato
Nice!

"We have so much time and so little to do"
Marc, you seem a lil flustered in this vid
BTW, I approve of the hands on that Kamasu. Very nice. And I like the dial to bezel ratio
7:30... no offence to your video skillzzzz Marc, but I just wanted to say for anyone thinking about that dial color, it's even more rich and lustrous in real life... I have an M-Force that color and it's GORGEOUS
Whoosh...
@@walternewton914 LOL... very random...
I don't know if I should buy the green one or the black and gold one with silicon strap
EDIT: I eventually bought the green one and Wooow the quality is stunning, especially for the price... Really a great watch!
How much you paid?
They look great 👍🏼
Great and Educational Video.
Hi Marc, can i ask in regards to the indices on the kamasu, are they applied exactly like the Ray 2>? they dont seem to pop out as much on your video compare dwith the Ray. Can you please confirm. thank you
I have the Black/Gold Kamasu, but changed the Silicon strap for a Black Jubilee Style Bracelet, and now i want a Maroon one and a Blue one :(
Just ordered the red and the two tone on the rubber straps!
Thank you!
Kano 4 (black face/red bezel) reminds me of Tudor Black Bay
William Moran just posted that. Total agreed
I hate that its so big in diameter
I bought the black and gold Kamasu and my workmate thought it was an Omega. Well done, Orient!
Love the green one!
Glad you like it!
The red dial looks amazing
Quite shocking.
I might be in the minority but I think the strong green hue to hands and markers clash with the blue and red dials in a pretty unfortunate way, wish they were whiter. Looks great on the Green and Black dials though, and I think I'll eventually pick up the green.
Hey, Mark, I have a quick question. Currently, I am able to get the Orient Kano with rubber band and black bezel for $195. Do you think that it is worth buying it for that price or better get the SKX007 (which sooner or later I will buy for sure)? I would like to hear your opinion before proceeding further :)
Really like the look of this one... but no shipping to Australia! :(
The green one is gonna be my next watch
Can you make videos on the Orient Triton, the Orient Poseidon, and the Orient Neptune?
Mako USA 2 my favourite by far!
Been waiting for the red kamasuuu
