My beater dive watch Orient Ray. I hated the strap, hands and bezel, so I changed them out. Put the hands from a Mako (unfortunately you can't see second hand -bad timing!), a cool nato and a ceramic 12 hour. I surf, do construction here in Sri Lanka and don't have to worry about this little tank

Vintage and modern, mechanical and quartz, iconic and odd...I love them all! Nothing is better than a watch and its story to pass the time.

You made the watch very appealing to me that I went ahead and started looking for it online!
Amazing job! Which bezel is that and how did you make sure that it will fit and function well?🙏🏽

Hey Vinnie, I bought a new coin edge and sapphire crystal from crystaltimes

and the bezel too

Its cool the skx bezel inserts work for the Ray and the Mako, so there is amillion choices. I modded this Mako at the same time. Swapped the original hands off this one and put these Planet Ocean style ones on. It's great to do to these divers as they aren't expensive to start with, and they are hardy tool watches! In house movement, 200 meter water resist, 41mm-can't beat them for the price
Have fun!!
