Orient Mako modding continued..


Still working on the Orient Mako mod..

Had this Orient that I never wear.. Didn't really like the bezel on it..


Same handset as these M-Force models..





So here is the movement transplanted into my Orient Mako case..


I am liking this better than the others mainly because of the nice clean dial..

and finally, with new seconds hand and strap..
