Despite what you say, I think they look quite good on you! The lighter bezel colour shrinks the watch visually.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

Now we need them to do what a ton of people have been asking and make a 38mm version

[@thebitterfig9903]

The dial and case look so good. The bezel, tho... Not so bad as the product pictures, but just a little off. The Ivory dial one is an "almost" but it's impossible not to think about how good these would look with the steel bezel of the Mako Sport, or two-tone ones with semi-matching colors like the Mako 3. With a bezel like that, I think these watches would be a sure thing.

[@danielthegeek4582]

How on earth would you put the solar panel in a rotating bezel?

[@danc2528]

lol

[@artochoamovies]

If they offered a black dial with coke and Pepsi or Batman bezels, I’d definitely buy one. I’m not keen on the pastel colors.

[@glennlopez-cepero7515]

I bought a few days ago the ivory dial, it should arrive today. I paid $250

Typically the Solar cell is beneath the dial, at least that's how Citizen does it with their Eco-drive series.

It's funny, I feel exactly the same about the colors and like the white dial combination the most. The Makos are a quite safe bet regarding looks and they are reasonably sized. I recently got my first Mako, which to my taste looks even nicer than the white one here, it is a quite recent model with automatic movements and purple dial (Ref. RA-AC0Q07V10B).

I guess it is transparent dial with a white paper underneath.. i like the blue and green.. a bit big for my liking. But l like them. Maybe the blue is the best.

[@samnova450]

They’re ok, but I had issue with Orient not giving extra links for bracelets, I have a big wrist. That came directly from Orient.

[@garycollard1981]

I rather like the ivory dial but i wish it had dark coloured hands to stand out against the dial, not enough contrast for me. Agree the bezels are a weak point colour wise.

[@SlimDonni]

Personally, I'd buy the solar Mako chronograph instead and save around £50.

[@SilentCanary]

A quartz movement on a Ray II would be great!!

[@Bear_Arms]

The bezel is hideous. The dial colors don't do the watch any favors either.

[@1vbAPiYk]

you really dont need to shine UV light for 16 seconds to charge the lume

[@ZOOZOOOZO]

Ok 👍🏻

[@ahmeda3227]

ffs stop with the 22mm lugs

[@tomw4962]

Orient has these listed as 20mm lug width

[@Pablo-cl6pu]

I can't stil wrap my head around the fact that sub 100$ chinese watches destroy these in finishing and material looks, it's a shame these big brands spend less everyday on the making of their watches
