Orient Kamasu Green Dial

My first ever watch to start off with my humble yet ambitious collection of affordable watches.

The green sunburst dial is absolutely mesmerizing and with it's straight indices, it looks less sporty and more elegant as an everyday watch. Bracelet feels comfortable despite the rattling sound at the hollow end links.

THE FIRST TO MANY!

Great choice for your first watch.  I know many people hate it but Aliexpress has a huge selection of rubber straps. If you need something different than a bracelet.

Here are two green straps I got from Aliexpress.

Nice! The Kamasu was one of the first divers I bought early in my watch journey too. Enjoy it!

Very good choice!  I have the red version and really like it with the exception of the crown being a PITA to screw down....  I haven't tried a rubber strap. I did try on a leather strap and it was cool for a while but I ended up going back to the bracelet. Enjoy!

Great watch. This dial looks amazing!

Such a nice watch! I don't own a diver yet but the dark red Kamasu is 100% a future purchase of mine.

Nice choice! So wish there's quick release on the bracelet to switch bracelets and straps easily

Despite of the annoying rattle at the end links, the bracelet is still comfortable for everyday wear. Might look into Strapcode's Jubilee bracelet for a change!

I have the same model and love it so great choice. I have no issue with the bracelet. The watch looks much more expensive than the price paid. My only criticism as an owner is that the crown is a bit small!

Agree on that, even with my tiny hands, I find the crown to be slightly too small to wind. But other than that, it's a cracker of a watch!

Tough choice between Strapcode's oyster and Jubilee bracelets, those solid end links are a game changer! Increasing the value of this watch BY A MILE! 👍

I love um!! I put domed sapphire crystal in all of um, double dome in the blue first gen Mako, replaced the bezels and bezel inserts.  And ya, the bracelets are the only soft spot but if you keep the end wing tight they don't rattle toooo much.

How to keep it tight? Any instructions to do so?

Sure, the hollow end links always seem to need adjustment and make that terrible rattling sound. Taking the bracelet off and squeeze the end link wings down a bit keeps the bracelet tight to watch body.
