“I recently purchased a white dial Orient Mako USA II and was a bit disappointed by the stock bezel and insert. This coin edge bezel is a huge upgrade and far more functional. Of course, it comes with the added bonus of ceramic insert options, which combined with the functionality of the coin edge bezel make the watch feel and look amazing. Definitely recommend.”
“I liked my Orient Mako 2 when I received it recently. But the dive bezel kind of wasn't for me after all. This coin edge bezel made a huge difference, is more aesthetically pleasing IMO, and I like this watch so much more now! It was only mildly difficult to install. I found a couple of online videos showing how to remove the old bezel - that was easy. But getting the new bezel on was slightly difficult. But after a few minutes I was able to apply enough force to make it stay.”
“In order to get change the bezel insert on my Orient Mako watch it is required that you purchase a new bezel to act as an adapter to your watch. An added expense but no way around it. What I didn't expect was how much smoother the bezel turns!! If you have read or watched almost every review on the Mako you know that the bezel being difficult to turn is always mentioned. This new coin edge bezel not only let me change the look of my watch with an upgraded bezel insert BUT actually improved how it works and my enjoyment of the watch. Marc, Thanks for offering such a great product.”
“The coin bezel paired with the black ceramic insert looks quite sharp. I was surprised at how much lateral play there was, however. I ended up swapping out the gasket from the original bezel to make it fit properly. Surprised that a replacement specifically for Orient Ray 2 had such poor tolerances.”
“I purchased the coin edge bezel for my blue dial Mako USA II. I have never been a fan of the raised aluminum insert with the sapphire sitting well below the lip of the insert, nor did I like the relatively matte finish of the stock aluminum bezel insert. The stock bezel is also difficult to rotate. I was starting to get scratches/chips to the aluminum insert. The bezel was easy to pop off and the new one is also 120 clicks with a smooth bezel action and little back play. Overall very happy with the new bezel and insert. With a ceramic SKX fully lumed Pepsi insert installed my Mako USA II is now virtually bulletproof. The bezel and ceramic insert sit just ever so slightly raised above the sapphire crystal. It was my first mod and I was nervous tackling it myself, however, it turned out well thanks to Marc’s awesome YouTube channel with several videos on swapping bezels and changing bezel inserts.”
