Orient Mako II Owner Review : Reliable, bluffing and comfortable

This is my first mechanical watch. It's the first piece I bought for myself after contracting the watchmaking bug. Before you wonder, it's a reliable watch despite its very low cost. It's the watch I wear the most; it accompanies me daily to my work. It never lets me down. The choice of colors is not insignificant, beyond an affinity with orange and blue. Besides, when you're diving, orange is one of, if not THE, colors that is most noticeable underwater. Now, I don't dive. It's a robust, reliable watch that exudes presence on the wrist and will make an impression on laypeople. I've even recommended it to a few friends who were completely unfamiliar with watchmaking and who subsequently took the plunge and purchased an Orient. The presence of a day window on the dial is a mistake in my opinion. A date window alone would have been sufficient in my opinion. Finally, the sunburst dial is a truly pleasant surprise. Depending on the lighting, you can see up to three different shades of blue, which for a watch in this range is quite impressive. You get the idea, it's a winner!
