G-Spot : Orient Mako II #CEM75004B

It has been so long.... it felt like forever.... I have not posted anything on this blog for like a million year. No article of watches, no review on my new collection.... As I said in my previous posting, I have always blame my busy schedule for it... ya ya what ever...

But as once to be a hardcore blogger (seriously I used to have like 6 blogs at a time), I always have the itch to write... moreover now with my uber cool Asus laptop , I really want to blog ...mumbling about things.... and finally today, albeit my super tight schedule, and thanks to my P1 4G wifi, I managed to find time to write a lil bit...hahahahah

So yes, you guess it right...it has to be something new. Yeap, I just bought a new watch....there you go. I spilled it.... Originally , I wanted to get myself either the Seiko Velatura or Citizen NP3010 or the Citizen BJ2120 for myself. I want it for my upcoming birthday. However today, as I am strolling around Mines Shopping Mall I saw this beaut. The Orient Mako II CEM75004B though it is not really my birthday ....hahahha....(scratching my head to justify the purchase)

Actually I saw picture of this model form the net recently. At first glance of the picture I saw, I immediately notice the resemblance between the Orient and Omega P.O. In a way, it is the poor man P.O.

And I used to own one Orient Mako II the black color thus I am very familiar with this watch.A this point, I am interested with it, but that is about it. But when I saw it live ....i know i need to get it....

So yeap, finally this is it....the latest in my small collection....

This watch really a poor man version of P.O. The resemblance is significant.But the design is not the only strength. It has good and robust in house movement, the finishing is great into minute details. On the case, Orient take the trouble to combine polished and brushed finishing that give great drama in term of appearance.

I don't think I have to elaborate further on the movement. The Orient in house Caliber 46943 is a real value for money. I don't know any other watch maker with in house movement that could offer watch of this quality, with in house movement at price they are offering. For sure, it is not decorated, hidden behind the solid screw down case back. Orient claimed that the automatic movement has power reserve of about 40 hours. I have yet to test it out but from my past experience with Black Mako II it could actually goes as far as 50 hours.

Anyhow, too bad my other camera phone broke down a few days a go and I cant snap good picture. The following picture don't do enough justice to it....enjoy the show...
