“I have always like Orient as a brand for its value proposition to consumers wanting to own quality watches. It is like Seiko but less ubiquitous so it appeals to me more. Whether its the Ray, Mako or the Bambino, I always expect quality watches from Orient and this Ray 2 did not disappoint. High regard to Marc from Long Island Watch for excellent customer service - best pricing and fast free shipping.”
“Love this watch. shopped around, best price was here. Could not decide between an skx007/9 and this one... Hand windable and hackable sold the piece.
Excellent service from Long Island Watch.”
“This was my first Orient and my first time making a purchase from Island Watch. I was shocked at the quality of the Orient Ray ll. A great watch at an unbelievable price. I will be buying from Island Watch again.”
“I originally bought this piece to try out the Orient brand about a month ago. Now I think it may be a permanent keeper in my collection. Everything about the Ray is unreal for it's $160 price tag, from the case finishing to the bracelet (wish there were solid end links though) to the dial. I have found plenty of places online to replace the mineral crystal (in my case I have just ordered a double domed AR coated sapphire crystal) which just adds to the bargain this is. For $250, you can have a hand winding, hacking automatic diver with a sapphire crystal and a collection of NATO straps to suit your everyday needs. I would easily rate this on par with the mighty Seiko SKX. This is the perfect first mechanical timepiece, and I find that it is starting to get more wrist time than my higher end dive pieces (Omegas, Marathon, Tudor, Sinn).
I have found one minor annoyance however, and that is the fact that you can hear and feel the movement winding itself when you move your arm quickly.”
“Everything about this watch is amazing. Great style and you can't beat the price. I have received numerous compliments. Many Thanks to Long Island Watches for their expert care and knowledge.”
