Celebration purchase

I brought this Orient Mako 3 recently to congratulate myself for achieving top marks in my end of year university assessment. All the hours at my computer were worth it for this beautiful watch.

Job well done! Hope there are many more watches in your future for your continued achievements.

And now you probably know why Orient dive watches are always on the Best Dive Watch under $500 list, unbeatable value for the money and in over a year of thrashing mine around in this scary game called Life not one issue.

100% agree with everything you said. the finish on the Mako 3 is amazing for the price. I paid £244 and that price got me a in-house movement, high-quality lume + build and sexy bezel action.

Your watch looks amazing as well.

Very nice! I see you are in the UK. Do you have an opinion on Smiths watches?

I haven’t heard of Smith watches before but after a quick google search they seem to focus on producing and restoring vintage watches.

Gotcha okay. Yeah, I read poor reviews on mainly the purchasing profess and customer service. Some eye catching pieces though. They are open tomorrow so I am wondering if I should see what they got, but I know the store will only be open for orders for a few mins.

I agree with you, I did see some nice vintage timepiece but they are a bit pricey for me. That’s a shame about the customer service and purchasing process maybe you will get lucky.

When it comes to purchasing watches from a brand I haven’t brought from or heard of, I always do research whether that is watching reviews about a specific piece or reading up about a brand’s history.

Same I try to research as much as I can. My wife is British so I do have a soft spot for British brands.

Nice Orient 😍

Congratulations on coming to the end of your year and achieving top marks! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congratulations! Awesome diver, I love the design. Pretty rare colors for a dive watch bezel & dial.

Rotary from what I heard is a decent British brand and reasonably priced depending on what you are looking for. I don’t have any of their watches so I can’t speak about their build quality.

Thank you, I’m really enjoying the watch so far.

Wow, what a beautiful watch with a very neutral yet contrasting bezel, that's a color combo you don't see often on other divers

Thanks, I wanted a unique colour combination and I feel like this watch definitely delivers that. The orange tip on the second’s hand is my favourite detail.

Thank for those kind words.

I haven’t taken this watch off since it arrived. This is definitely my new daily watch (until I buy new one 🤣)
