“Having a slippery crown is disappointing they could have put a little bit more of a knurl edge on the crown to better grip and to adjust time date and wind function but you know all I'm pleased with the watch excellent shipping detail information every aspect of delivery will definitely purchase from Long Island watch love Mark and all his educational videos”
“First off, the prices, selection and service from Marc at Island Watch are outstanding.
The Orient Mako II with the blue dial punches above its price point; the dial has to be seen in person!
I actually had a neighbor notice the watch and say "Nice Seamaster" :-D
It's impressive that the watch hacks and can be hand wound for the price and the F9 series move is running about 7 seconds fast per week.”
“This watch impressed me right out of the box. It has a deeper blue than pictured and is extremely attractive. After the first week my sample is running between 0 and +2 seconds per day. I've also never worn a steel bracelet before but I found it very comfortable after removing 3 links myself. Highly recommended!”
“Loving this watch. It's only losing a few seconds per day and looks great. People gripe about the hollow end-links but I think that's a minor issue - I haven't experienced any jangling sounds. The rest of the links are solid.
When weighing this watch against the SKX series, I considered the more streamlined profile of the Mako II that allows it to slide under cuffs easily. After wearing a chunky G-Shock and finding it a pain in the ass to have under a winter coat, I wasn't interested in a watch with a square bezel profile like the SKX. The more refined look of the Mako II also appeals to me.
The watch arrived with its box in good condition, thanks to the thorough packing. I've been wearing it for a couple of weeks and it's running well. Happy with my purchase and the service from Island Watch.”
