Personally, I'm not a fan of the weird color combinations they did with those. However, I do have my eye on the new Mako-40...once they sort out that weird marker issue on them that is.

 

Nope......

 

The colorway on this one is great. Something different and harmonious without being loud. I don't like the other colorways on this version. I have tried to like green watches and just can't. The olive green is just enough to satisfy me. Replaced the bracelet with the islander jubilee. The stock bracelet does not taper and looked very bulky on this watch. I think non tapering works better on bigger watches. The islander is more comfortable and suits this size much better.

 

Love this color scheme. Original and understated.

 

The Mako III sunburst dial has a pronounced 'grain' compared w/ earlier Mako/Ray/Kamasu sunburst blue dials.

 

I own the grey dial Mako 3. Much grippier and easier to turn bezel compared to my Kamasu 2 . And the larger crown finally looks proportional to the watch case and is easier to grip.

My main gripe with my Kamasu 2 and Mako 3 is no AR coating on the sapphire crystal. Glare off the crystal is annoying. You can buy a $60 Chinese watch with a sapphire crystal with AR coating. Come on Orient add some AR coating to the crystal!

wouldnt the m-force be the "true" affordable orient diver?
iso rated?

 

I second that. The 2020 version is, one of the very few non OS to have sapphire AND anti reflective coating. Much better crown. For the price difference you have a significantly better built watch.
