    The 5KX is a joke. Diver-inspired watches should dissappear. There is no reason to include the 5KX in a discussion about dive watches. Even though this is not a certified diver, this is the watch to buy if you missed the Skx at a decent price. I ve seen 007s sell pre owned at 6-700 euro.. That is crazy..

    I just got mine 4 days ago and I am in love with it, still on the “honey moon phase” with it. Lol But it’s been on my radar for a good while now. Wayyy better than my Seiko 5KX… Which loses about 45 seconds in ONE day! And about 2-3 minutes a week. My Kamasu however, ohhh boy, it blows my Seiko out of the water. Which runs about - + 3 to 4 secs… Just amazing performance from the F6922 calibre. 20 bar water resistance vs 10 bar, lume on par with my 5KX, less bulk, screw down crown and those hands and indices are just awesome… And a sapphire crystal! Come on… An absolute bargain.
    And that stunning red dial, I’ve always wanted a red dial watch in my collection as it is my favourite colour and the light captures the sunburst effect beautifully and I am very happy to have the Kamasu as my first red dial and first Orient diver but most certainly not my last. I now have the Ray II on my radar. I have nothing against Seiko, but I wish they can at least use sapphire instead of mineral for their 5KX line given their asking price which is much more than this beautiful Kamasu. I am confident that it will provide me with excellent service for many years to come.

    Have to agree that this is gorgeous. However in the end I actually went for the venerable Orange bezel Mako XL with a 44.5mm size which suited my 20.3cm/8" wrist better. It's rumoured to be discontinued soon, so I took the opportunity to get one while I had the chance. The Kamasu was a bit small for me, but it's going to be great for most people and it's definitely a beauty. That red dial is very striking. I also just ordered my first Ali Express! A red dial Monster from Heimdallr. If it's anywhere near as good as it seems I'll be happy! It's also a bit small but I loved the look and it's impossible to get a new Seiko Monster now obviously.

    I like the darker tone the red has on the Kamasu for it going from darker and understated into full on radiant as you move around in light. Not that the Kanno isn't incredible too? Just has a more aggressive bling thing in it's larger size and lighter tone. Six half dozen with the two both great.

    I have been having Orient RA-AA0001B for over 10 days. RA means "non-Star model assembled outside of Japan", AA means "automatic diver lineup" ("Automatic Aquatic"? Because AP then can mean "Automatic Petit", and AB in Tristars definitely means "Automatic Basic"), 00 means Kamasu model, 01 means Basic Black (dial+hands+strap combo number within the model), B means general dial color code (black).
    No issues so far as an everyday watch. Excellent bezel action, excellent lume, excellent accuracy (more on that later). The logo, both on the dial and on the caseback, is perfectly fine, especially compared to what they had in the pre-Epson era. Also no problems with the crown action that someone reported on the earlier batches of the watch - they must have fixed it already. There were two things I needed to do though. The first thing I changed was the bracelet - the stock one makes the watch too heavy for me, so I immediately changed it to a quick-release 22mm steel mesh strap that was lying around. Nice look and feel.
    And the second thing was regulation. The initial accuracy settled on about +8.5 spd, which I didn't quite like, so regulated it myself with the help of a software timegrapher on Android ("Watch Accuracy Meter"). The F6922 itself is very stable and doesn't have much positional deviation, so it was worth giving a shot. The trick was to get the grapher display about +5 spd in the "dial down" position. Really takes some micrometric precision. After this regulation, the accuracy settled to under +1 spd in my 24/7 wearing mode. Not only is this within COSC and Rolex standards for mechs, but also well within mass-produced quartz watch allowance (±30 seconds per month). Now I'm very interested what deviation it's going to have at the end of October. If it is under +24 s/mo, I'll officially declare that I found a mech more accurate than one of my electronic Casios (W-800H which cannot be regulated in any way).
    And all this with sapphire and without trying to look like everyone else. Well done, Orient.

    Since I first saw this same ruby red Kamasu I have lusted after it - on screen it looks stunning and I can't wait to see one in real life. Sadly, Orient is not represented in my country and importing just one brings it into the crazy price range of used SKXes.
    I can comment on the bracelet though - it's the same one on my Orient Lexington and it's not bad overall but really should taper just a wee bit, but you totally lucked out with that red strap. Stroke of genius, or did you just happen to have it lying around?

    I got mine in blue a month ago and love it. Such an elegant watch with better specs than Seiko 5 Sport and quite cheaper. However mine runs about 15 - 17 secs fast a day which is about a minute and a half every 5 days or so. That would be like 9 min a month which I think is a little exaggerated even for an entry level movement. I checked with a compass and watch doesn't seem magnetised. Does it need regulating even being brand new? Thanks and great review!
