Orient Ray II Macro

Look at all those scratches on the minutes hand! Granted this watch is modified; but those are definitely from the factory. I guess it's to be expected on a $125 watch.

But can you see them with the naked eye? Can't judge a watch by its Macro 😂

Orient Mako 3? Orient makes a 3rd version?

Oops, typo. Should be Ray II. I'll correct it.

You can if you're looking at it through a macro lense! And no you can't tell with the naked eye 😂

Not wanting to doubt you, but if the watch has been modified, how can you be sure that the scratches were from the factory?

Don't sweat the small stuff! It's a lovely Orient!

Because I'm the one who modified it.

Pretty normal on Orient/Seiko/Citizen. At least this one is affordable.

Ouch, yeah that's a bit rough, but as you said, get what you pay for? Maybe Orient could take it back and replace the hands? 🫤

Naw I bought this one years ago. I don't care about it, just thought it was interesting.

Thats a beautiful Orient!

The YouTube channel ‘I Like Watches’ did a video doing macro comparisons between a San Martin and a Rolex. (GMT Master and an homage) Youkd be surprised to learn even the almighty Rolex may not catch everything either.

Every time I tinker with a watch I scratch something. Not on purpose mind you. It’s why I have gone cold on modding my Orient. I especially worry what I would ding if I tired to change the Crystal like you have here. Nice job.

Ah, that's too bad...

QC issues are a rarity with Orient - unless it's the Mako 40 minute track. 😀

The damage is minimal, enjoy your watch, and it is a great watch 👍

Yes, just watched that one! I love the finishing comparisons he's been doing lately. 👊🏻

Honestly I don't think it's a QC issue for the price. It's to be expected. I'd just never noticed it before. Which I guess means it's not that bad! 😂
