Nicely done video here and I’m glad to have run on it. I’ve been following Orient watches for only a year but I liked the Kamari specs and dials so much, that I bought three dials (black, green and red) last year. I’d always liked the styling of the Mako II but held off due to some lesser specs, especially the Mineral crystal. Now the Mako III? That spoke right to me just 2 days ago and I just watched this one. Thanks to the dial styling (I love the green and beige) and the Sapphire Crystal, this one’s a beauty! And, Ben, you’ve give this new Mako iteration a well-documented take that helps the rest of my decision. Overall, this watch gets nearly a 9/10 for a lot of reasons. Thanks again for this video!

Sapphire crystal aside there is no other material upgrade justifying a 100 quid price increase. The new Mako 3 chrono panda on the other hand is a real looker and offers something different with the solar movement.

On one hand, I really like Orient's more elegant design. I absolutely love how legible and good looking Rays and Makos are. On the other - I find their bezels kinda hard to grip and incompatibility with SKX007 adds insult to injury. Oh and if one strips the thread on Ray 2 crown tube, the entire case has to be replaced since the crown tube is an integral part. And of course parts availability for Orients simply doesn't exist. Bezel click spring? Can't buy. Crystal gasket? Can't buy. The only way to get them is to send the watch to the only "authorised watch repair service" in my country, which inflates the prices at will simply because he can.

My ideal Orient budget diver would be Kamasu2 with K1 lume (which is outstanding, i can read the time even in the morning, before sunrise), maybe the crown from this, no day, only date, and perhaps no crown guards.

I wish they made it a tiny bit smaller (for that minute hand to reach the minute markers, like on the Kamasu), with fully dotted bezel (like on the Kamasu), with better lume (guess what - like on the Kamasu) and out of titanium, of course. That being said, you can't go wrong with F6922 either way. It is humanly possible to regulate it to virtually no daily deviation (even at home, with the help of a software timegrapher, if you leave about +5spd in the dial-down position), making it one of the few automatic movements that I, as a more of a quartz-watch-with-radio-sync person, really appreciate in terms of actual timekeeping. Done this on the Kamasu (RA-AA0001B), not disappointed so far.
