hi folks, just getting into the watch game.

currently looking at Orient Mako 2 or Ray 2.
Dint know which one of the 2 to get...

Looking at the Blue dial version.

Any reputable physical shops in SG that I should look out for? What about online shops? (Eg. skywatches.sg, WatchZon, etc)

Thanks!

Haven't really seen Mako 2 around at a good price, but maybe I didn't look hard enough. So far only see at Big Time, dunno whether their price is good as I didn't enquire.

Mako/Ray 2 is perpetually out of stock online, as far as I can remember.

As for which is better, it really depends on you. I think Mako is dressier, but the Ray is more traditional diver style, and the bezel is much nicer too. Both are nice watches and great value for money (at least for Mako/Ray 1).

Prefer the dial of mako but the bezel of Ray. Lol.

So how much should I be looking for a new mako/ray 2? So far prices I see is around $270 +/-
Asking so I won't tio carrot.

Apart from the watches I mentioned, any other similar watch around that price range? Hoping to give myself more choices but dunno where to start.

I have no idea sia for Mako/Ray 2. $268 is around list price leh, see https://www.orient.com.sg/catalog/mech/divingsportsautomatic first page. Can call Big Time to ask or drop by, they're open on weekends too.

You can look at SKX007, or just get Mako/Ray 1 lor, cheaper, you don't lose much unless you really care about hacking/winding.

either one is good. down to your personal preference, you can check them out at skywatches physical shop at people's park, or maybe bencoolen but if you want agent warranty, you've to get from authorized agent bigtimesgp.com or any of its authorized dealers. all others at most shop warranty nia. if warranty not your priority then go for the cheapest lor.

The only one I would choose is the Raven ll, the all black one. May buy for my wife if she wants it.
