Bought a coin edge bezel and a batman ceramic lumed insert for my new Blue Orient Mako II. I can't describe how amazing the watch looks. LOL, I'm absolutely obsessed with this watch and mod. Thanks Mark and Long Island Watch!!!
Oh happy day!! I've already added the double dome to my Ray and can now finish it off in proper style. Thank You!!!
Sweet!
I put the coin edge variant on my mako 2 with a blue ceramic insert that I already had and it's like I have a whole new watch! Awesome and easy mod. And, yes, sloped inserts work fine.
Cool!!! I have been waiting for that. Just placed my order. Thanks, Marc!
Thank you
I'm slow clapping across the Sound in CT right now. Well done sir. Well done.
I just upgraded my Mako II with a flat sapphire crystal and a coin edge bezel both from Long Island Watch. They were delivered quickly, were a breeze to install and are beautiful and high quality! (I ended up going with a dark blue sapphire “planet ocean” style bezel insert from another company.) My mods are now worth more than my watch, but I’m very happy with it!
A Pepsi doesn’t go with a black dial? Sure it does! Haha thanks for all the cool products Mark.
Nice dude! I love that you are always pushing ahead and trying to serve your audience.
Thank you. One step ahead, never looking behind.
Saw your reply that something is in the works for the Orient Triton very excited.
Bought my moded SKX007 in February from you. It gets most wrist time from my modest 7 watch collection. Had one guy I work with ask me if it was a Rolex. I should have just said yes as when I tried to explain it was a moded Seiko I may as well been speaking a foreign language. Lol 😆
Awesome, thank you!
Lol I had a Ray 2 on with a Strapcode Oyster and got asked if it was a Rolex the other day haha. Assume he seen the sweeping seconds hands and thought Rolex like most none watch people would.
Something about the batman style bezel gets me everytime, it just speaks to me. I am saving for the bezel and insert for the kamasu. thank you for offering it on your store, you are the only one that has the thing.
This is absolutely awesome. I think the curve down on the bezel and the flat metal printing were one of the features I disliked the most on my ray 2. I'm gonna go for it and try my hand at my first mod thanks to you Marc. If it turns out as well as I'm hoping I might even buy the bracelet you just made, too.
Very cool. I really dig the contrast of the blue insert with the black dial.
Thanks.
Marc your the best man . I already ordered mine sir. This made my month.
Thanks Mike!
I'm sold on you, Mark. My next watch will come from you sir.
Very nice Marc! Good job, sir.
Thanks!
I love the Ray II, but I have slippery fingers and struggle with tight bezels. This option is intriguing. I may be in touch. Thank you!
Well i just bought a double dome sapphire from CT for my Ray II and was planning on upgrading the bezel/insert at some point with Yobokies parts, but i'll def be going with Long Island Watch now! Great timing and awesome stuff!
Thank you!
Finally! for 39 bucks. Great job Mark. There goes the guy whose been "dominating" the market for 58 dollars. Maybe in the future you could produce the dial options for these orient
This is awesome.
You just made my year. Can’t wait to get my hands on these. Just placed my order. Awesome Marc. 👍
Thank you!
Have u recieved yours yet, if so how long does it take
@@hehehhe5461 arrived weeks ago. Got mine in a few days. Fits and operates like OEM.
Like it so much I ordered the coin edge and the Batman for my Ray. Awesome👍
Thank you!
My blue Mako 2 with domed sapphire glass and black ceramic bezel is stunning !!
Never been a Pepsi Fan,,, Until Now!!
Unreal LIW, brilliant stuff.
Hey Marc, would this bezel fit the Orient Kamasu?
Definitely buying the black diver with the coin edge!👍👍
Sweet!
The blue Orient Ray with the pepsi bezel looks so good! ( 5:37 )
This video just sold me on buying a coin edge bezel and GMT insert for my Ray II.
Exited for this!
Me too!
Holly shit! You're gonna sell tons of these. Even more if they fit the gen1. Thanks Marc!
Hope so!
Looking forward to getting the red and blue insert and bezel for my Mako USA 2 with blue dial.
Awesome......Got the coin edge and Pepsi bezel. Made the mods and it looks great! This was my first attempt in making a mod with movement removed and must say it was terribly simple. Looking forward to my next mod. Thanks
How does the bezel fit? Is there any unwanted movement?
When Life Gives You Melons Actually the bezel fits well but is loose
Very cool! I like the black Ray with the Batman.
Thanks Tim!
I wanted this a long long time ago!
Me too!
Hi Marc, I appreciate this service that you provide. Looking forward to ordering a custom Ray 2 when it comes back online. Is there any chance that you would do a silver bezel insert in the future? Thanks!
This is great news! , i will wait for the coke bezel insert then do a full makeover of my Ray!
:)
Impressed
Thanks
These mods are great. Hopefully down the road it will be possible to do this for the Spinnaker Fleuss (my favorite watch so far)
Thanks!
will there be a "adapter" bezel for Kamasu ? i need 2 ;)
Awesome mod Marc! That’s my one gripe with the Mako is the bezel is awe full I would say almost impossible to use diving.
Just bought an orange Ray 2 from eBay. Having a metal colour bezel insert with black dots and numbers would be cool, like the ones in the Seiko Monsters.
F'ing Awesome !
Mark it seems you've done a fantastic job with this watch. Would you customize a customer's Ray if they sent it in, or do you only offer customization on watch purchases? I would be interested in the bezel/crystal mod in the future
Bezel and batman insert winging their way to me. Ray 2 going to get more wrist time in the future. Thanks Marc.
Great, thank you!
Very nice
Thanks.
Hi Marc! Any plans to include bezels/inserts for Kamasu?
Lovely! Can i buy the bezel and ceramic insert to install myself on my ray 2? Amazing how
Much nicer it looks!!
Very great video, Marc. Thank You very much, As you know I am fan of ORIENT watches. My collection will have to follow You somehow and rather soon. What you suggest as "customization" is gorgeous. Can we imagine that an ORIENT watch has most of the time an in-house movement which works perfectly well in the toughest conditions. For instance in the Tropics. Watch brands with self-made movements are just a bunch of Happy Few nowadays. I have seen here in Thailand some people working hard in tough "physical" jobs wearing for the past and more to their entire satisfaction with, maybe 1 or 2 services by a second class "street's butcher watchmaker" in a decade's time [when hands stopped...]. After a minimum Service staring all over again. To have a in-house designed and tested movement with proven achievements is something most brands are dreaming of. Enhanced with "Strapcode bracelet", sapphire crystal glass and then what you have suggested us today is one of the most underrated proposal in the watchmaking industry. We have to thank you for that. You deserve to sell them now like "hot cakes".
Trying to, thank you!
Awesome! Will have to try out the new bezel with the Mako USA first gen
Is it compatible?
@@moniack I haven't bought it yet actually.
@@stevecholo I bought an OEM Mako 2 on Ebay and it looks the same but haven't put it on my Mako 1 yet.
@@moniack Did you try it on your Mako 1? I'm thinking about getting it but I'm not sure if it'll fit.
Hey Mark, great video! Wondering if you had any darker (navy) pepsi ceramic inserts. The Pepsi looks great, but it seems like the blue is just a bit too bright for the blue dial. Thanks!
Some very nice options/outcomes! Cheers 🍻
These look great. Any chance you'll do the 1/2 red and 1/2 blue pepsi insert with the dive markings? And if I already have the Ray 2, could I send it to you to upgrade the crystal and bezel?
I just completed my order! Nice work, Marc!
I modded an SKX bezel to work on my Mako, but it's very hard to turn. Nice to see someone step up and sell some proper mod parts for the Mako/Ray line. Are you able to get other parts for them? Specifially dials? Even OEM parts would be a huge boon to the Orient aftermarket.
I'm not doing any dials yet. I take baby steps :)
what about O ring, do i use the one from my ray, or shall i buy some that fits skx007, or use none at all. Thanks for a great video
Are they any plans for any kamasu GMT bezel inserts ? Keep up the good work 😃
Just ordered the lumed ceramic Batman bezel insert for my 007 from long island. Will be here Monday and I can't wait . Also in the future could we try to get a Coke bezel insert and maybe the 24hr GMT insert. Great video and I am a repeat customer. Without a doubt the best place to order watches from.
Wow, thank you so much!
A Blue Ray is my next purchase. I may be ordering it with the double dome sapphire, “O” bracelet, sub bezel, and Pepsi insert.
Great, thank you!
Thanks for your tutorial video, but I found problem when try to set the coin edge bezel to my Ray II, I push the new bezel gently until hard but it still can't success. Please advice...
I have the same double dome on my ray2 but love the slope/curve of the original bezel and insert. Will i lose this slope with a flat insert? I guess so
I just photoshopped a pepsi bezel onto a white Mako. Looks great.
Wow those are hot!
Super!
Can you get a yachtmaster bezel insert on the blue Ray? That would be amazing!!!!!
I've been searching for a bezel for the Mako 2 for a while, because I like the flat style. My only issue is that the bezel insert blue does not match the blue from the Orient dial and it throws off the look. The black looks killer. Any chance of getting the bezel inserts (including the pepsi) to have a matching blue color?
Nice
Thanks
Hi Mark always admire your mod, do you have slope bezel yatchmaster insert for Mako 2 . appreciate, thanks
You should sell the bezel and ceramic inserts as a package deal with the two parts fitted together, or at a reduced cost.
Marc,
My coin edge bezel is loose after I installed. Can this be rectified?
so do these bezels fit the gen 1 mako or ray? i'm thinking of buying a gen 1 to complement my mako 2 and maybe spruce it up. thanks!
Is the new bezel (with insert) higher than the watch glass?
Is it gonna protect the glass from scratching ?
Do you plan on making any black bezel inserts for the Ray Raven ii?
4:16: "I had a black Ray sitting in the garbage pile."
Marc, I think you should have left it there LOL
Use it for parts!
Just ordered a coin edge with Pepsi insert, I would love a Black PVD coin edge for my PVD Ray but I guess there would not be enough demand to make it worthwhile making a PVD Coin edge? Also love what you do and really appreciate the great video's you make. I very much hope the UK strikes a trade deal with the US so I can buy without import duties as the duty often takes the competitive price point off many items I would like to buy :(
Real nice, Mark. Boy, that domed sapphire crystal sure is reflective. Can't put an AR coating on it?
It is AR. It's just the studio lighting.
Very nice and tastefully done. However, this poses other questions. Could you make the Blue darker and red brighter for the pepsi bezel ? And which would look better on a mako 2, Sub style or coin edge ?
When I watched this video I wanted the blue to be darker too. I did take the risk and ordered the coin edge with pepsi bezel and I have to say that it looks very nice. The blue matches the bright blue of the sunburst. I'm way more happy with this watch now. My only problem still is the tight turn of the bezel.
Hey, i just purchased a ceramic bezel insert and your custom sub style bezels. Since the adhesive ring will set the insert higher than the crystal, you recommended an epoxy correct? Do you have a brand or type you recommend?
Any love for Mako XL owners looking for a ceramic bezel insert?
Hi Mark! I bought the sub style for my ray ii and it doesn’t seem to want to snap into place? Is there a place on your site with a trouble shooting guide?
Would you consider manufacturing symmetrical dials, without the cutouts for day and date? I'd love a factory option without those complications, but I don't see it happening.
Not really. I like day and date :)
Hi mark I have an orange ray. I just purchased this mod and I'm excited to install. What's the best way to get the bezel onto the watch face? Do I need a tool?
Hi there, I just bought a Orient Blue Ray 2 based on your videos, that said sadly the bezel wont centre on 12, i'm not sure if its a dial or even misaligned chapter ring but it is sad, besides that its a beautiful watch
Hi! Is there any tax on shipping for the UK? I wanna buy double domed cirstal and coin edge bezel for orient ray 2 but if the tax doubles the price id have to think about it...
I want to mod my orient ray bezel to your ceramics but i have notice that the ray has some kind of curvature that gives ita better look that the skx ones, is it difficult to create it that way? i hope you upgrade it with the curvature
Are Orient Ray 1 and 2 bezel swappable?
will any bezel insert made for Ray II work with Mako USA II? thank you
Hey mark, can you make a black bezel for the ray raven?
Marc, I have a domed sapphire crystal from CT on my Ray 2. I just ordered your coin edge bezel and black lumed insert. Will there be a step/ledge/gap between the crystal and the insert? This happens with a lot of crystal-bezel combos on SKX mods and it drives me nuts LOL! Also, does this occur with your own domed sapphire crystal? Either the single or double domed? Thank you for your contribution to the watch community, brother! I love hearing your Long Island accent, BTW! My parents are both from that area :)
The crystal I showed on my Ray pretty much matches the CT one.
Any update will these work with the mako mk 1? Withe the two crowns
I have the Mako XL 45mm. Is there a lume bezel mod for them also?
Can you make a crown replacement for the ray 2?
Any plans for Kamasu bezel?
I have an Orient M Force Beast and the numeral paint is falling off the bezel...do you have replacement rings that will fit this watch?
will it work with the kamasu? and do they make the watch any taller?
Hey Mark, Is there a ceramic bezel and coin edged insert for Kamasu？Since it already has a sapphire crystal I don’t have to change the crystal and it would be more easier and safer.
Do the bezels for the Mako II also fit the original Mako?
How do these bezels differ from the 007 ones people have been using for years? Are they just 007 bezels or are they custom in someway? Thanks
Will you be making this for the Kamasu? Or does this fit the new Kamasu?
Are the inserts no longer available for the orients? I don't see them on the website.
Bezel của sk007 có lắp được cho orient kamasu không vậy ?
Goood and Smart addition, will you offer these, or will they fit, any other watches? Subs, Parnis, Invicta, etc.?
The chances of the bezel fitting a watch other than Orient is slim.
I have a Orient RA-AA0814R19B (42mm). Will it fit?
