Plum fumé dial

I started with my Vostok…which needs servicing…it stopped as I knew it would…had it on as a test to see how long it would last:4.25 hours,

His initial engraved on the clasp, of his BoR Bracelet…..

Chinos? Check

watch? Check

caravans? Check

I love the small detail of the 9 on it’s side, clever! in a Swatch sort of way!

L: Orient KD, compressor 0104904EB

M: 1970s-Early 80s, Rivetless SK, Tobacco dial and radar overlay, German/English day/date

R: The Mako XL with 46943 movement, Coke Bezel mod (requested), with Spanish/English day/date wheel

Taking the first-generation Mako XL (FEM7500) out for a spin today.

This is a deliberate aftermarket modification, not a factory colorway! Orient famously never scaled up their Coke bezel for the XL case, so I decided to fix that mistake myself.

Everything else is 100% pure Orient heritage—including the massive 44.5mm case, that vintage "lollipop" seconds hand, the iconic 2 o'clock day-changer button, and the original, absolute tank of an in-house Orient Calibre 46943 movement.

If people can endlessly customize their Seiko SKX divers, I figure the Mako deserves the exact same enthusiast love. Absolutely thrilled with how the black and red completely transforms the look of this piece!
