I own the Orange 🍊 dial version of this watch . I own many Seiko divers and I also own three other Orients the Mforce Bravo , the latest Mforce watch and the first edition of the Triton with power reserve. For some reason this Ray 2 is amazing 🤩 to me. I wasn’t sure how I’d like it but I love this watch 👍🏻

I went with the orange too. Now I want to put it on, lol.

I just bought the black ray a month ago. Love it and appreciate the review . I’ve put it on a nato , loos much better

Great review... thank you!

For some reason, orient mineral crystal seems to scratch far more easily than seikos mineral crystal.

This is the most "mod-able" orient watch. Orient Ray / Mako II has lots of aftermarket parts such as sapphire crystals, bezels, ceramic bezel inserts which has the same size as seiko skx, solid end-link bracelets available out there.

Would probably get it in place of the skx

I prefer my Rolex submarine limited edition 14k gold 5000$ watch when driving my Porsche 911 targa. I crap 100 dollar bills little people. Thanks for the review bishes

Have you considered doing a commentary on the Bulova Accutron tuning fork watches of the 1960s and 70s ?

I hope someday to own one, but I want to get one that's in good condition.

[@anima201]

Do you still enjoy wearing this nice watch? Thank you.

This watch was loaned to me so unfortunately not!
