Mako USA is, as the name suggests, made for USA market only. if there are, it is through grey or private. definitely not official.
i did consider buying one from ebay before. but eventually i settled for SKX009

Can consider Mako 2/Ray 2 too which are already available in the local market.

yeah im comparing these few but i do prefer sapphire glasses

the newer handwind movement in the mako / ray2 is a better upgrade than a sapphire.
u can always change to some 3rd party sapphire crystal later.

i though they all have the same movement ?

he never say V2
but i'll still get the ray 2 since its only around rm1k.
mako USA 2 after add on GST and other fees will come up to like rm1.9k already.
of cos overall the USA is still a nicer watch, but imo not for rm900 extra.

anyway im just waiting for the mako / ray2 to get orange dial.

wow 1.9k? i though just like extra 50 USD ? isit because of its not official in Malaysia ?

if ur looking at orient usa prices...its well known orient usa gives 50% discount on most models except the usa ones.

Me end up for the Mako II Blue for easy read Ray II pretty crowded for me. Available on local market but these watch keep restocking need ask the seller first.

My work watch. OSD300 with Seiko 4FY8JZ Urethane strap. The original Orient strap feels too rubbery and soft for my liking.

What is the normal discount offered for Orient watches from the main price?

20% at max in AD Time branches, but one of the staffs in Sunway Pyramid Solar Time gave me nearly 26% off. I spoke to one staff in Orient & Rhythm, he gave me 20% off. Then I went to Solar Time and told the staff to give me 'better price' than what Orient & Rhythm offered (funny remembering they're both under AD Time). The lowest she could go is 26%. But yeah, 26% off is me being lucky, so you might only get 20% max. Just be friendly and be a bit thick-faced hehe.

I've never gotten less than 30% from solar time.
tho haven't been there for awhile... maybe this yr they have new rules for staff?

Anyone knows where I can get replacement for Orient Bambino's dome crystal?

Hi...new member here. Just got my M Force recently. Am beginning to like this brand more and more. It seems that Mako, Ray, Bambino is popular here. Hope to hv more M Force gang.

nice. how much the damage?

Thanks bro. Paid rm1300 with additional strap. The original strap is a bit long for my small wrist.
