“I am by no means a watch expert but my Dad was crazy for nice watches. He owned a Rolex Daytona and handed it down to me when he died. I don't wear it often, to be honest, I am afraid of damaging it and it means too much to me to lose it. When I saw the Orient line of watches and in particular the Ray II in a blue face I fell in love with it. A beautiful piece at an affordable price, a no brainer. I scoured the web looking for the best deal and it's probably no surprise to most of you that I found it here at Island Watch. I emailed Marc a couple of times and he was very prompt at replying. I waited till it went on sale and struck, I got it today. There are a lot of reviews about the watch so I will just say this, it is MUCH better in the flesh (or metal in this case). Beautiful watch, the strap is a solid link as far as I can tell, and the watch's craftsmanship and polish is spot on. THANK YOU MARC and THANK YOU ISLAND WATCH! I will be back for a Symphony II soon :)”
“I recieved my item within 2 weeks to the U.K. I'm very happy with my purchase, the watch looks stunning. I would highly recommend Long Island watch. Thanks”
“I read many other reviews before choosing the Ray over the Seiko SK. Great watch for the price. The bracelet quality is not equal to the watch but I wanted to change to a strap anyway. This is my second purchase from Island and I have no complaints. Received both purchases within five days from ordering. Their prices are comparable with the best prices I've found on the internet.”
“Orient ray 2 was shipped within 24 hours and delivered within 2 weeks to the UK. Had to contact customer services as our UK postal system is terrible and all replies came within minutes with helpful advice.
Watch arrived in perfect condition so very happy overall. Would definitely buy from Long Island again but if ordering to the UK would consider speedier postal options.”
“I am very happy with my purchase. The blue of this dial is beautiful and the pictures don't do it justice. The fit and finish is perfect. Everything lines up exactly like it's supposed to. The bezel is a bit stiff. I just sat and turned mine for awhile and it's starting to get better. I imagine it will break in nicely over time. One thing to note is while the crown is still signed it is not embossed. It is laser etched. Orient must have cheaped out in this respect for current production. All the pictures I've seen of the Mako and Ray both versions I and II had nicely embossed crowns but this is apparently something Orient is no longer doing. Not a big deal but I thought I should mention it. My Ray is running about 2 seconds slow a day. Pretty amazing watch for the money. There is nothing "entry level" about it. I would highly recommend Long Island Watch. I received my watch within 4 days of ordering.”
“My Ray-II is a beautiful watch along with a all new handwind & hacking Orient in-house movement.
But the watch I received from LongIslandWatch has some issue with the crown. It not completely (crown winding back) winding back in position after I handwind it. It is way stiff and hard that sometimes I feel, I got a kinda defective piece all together.. Dont know what to do though..”
