So my sport is finding the watches with superior quality that are NOT insanely expensive. Needless to say, I have every Pagani design Rolex Homage in my collection already.

Anyway, thanks for the video. It is what reminded me to look at the crystal specs and caused me to pick the right piece for me.
9:10 I got the same exact Tudor vibe from Kano. I think it's especially close to Tudor Black Bay Heritage that came a few years ago. the maroon and black bezel ones are very similar to Tudor
Hi guys, I just ordered the Kamasu Green bazel, my intital choice was kano maroon but after this video, I think kamasu is way better just for few features which are, saphire glass and size...looking forward to wear it 😁BTW thanks for the guide, is awesome 👍

I really like the black and silver Kamasu! Another excellent video Mark. Thank you very much for taking the time to show all the colors of each version!!!
I bought the red kamasu back in January from a Japanese distributor since it wasn't released to the US yet. The bracelet is open endlinks so I switched it to a Barton Rubber strap and haven't looked back. I wouldn't think the JDM version is much different. The bracelet is your standard push pins to resize. Beautiful watch for sure.
Yes you're right about the Tudor resemblance.... I think it's because of the mat coloured bezel and the big white indecies, that resemble those of the Tudor Pelagos. Great interview as always! 👍
just ordered one , the KANO black - seems like a good watch to do daily activities in, have owned 4 mako 1+2's in the past and def love the kano style better :D
Just received my Triton from you today. Incredible watch! The bracelet however is a pin and collar so I'd say it's likely these are the same. Thanks again for the A++ service as always Marc. You set the bar very high!
I have the 'Blue Kamasu' with rubber straps and can highly recommend it over the Kano, in particular cause of the fact, that it has a sapphire crystal. Bumped into a vice, at my dad's shop, this weekend and although the bezel did take some scratching, the crystal looks as good as new, also a 41 mm-ish watch should be a perfect fit for almost any wrist, with a superior quality finish! Thanks for the overview!
I bought the red dial version and it's really stunning. I don't own the green dial version, but one of my friends picked it up and, although it's a good-looking watch, calling it "green" is a stretch. The dial is a very reflective, deep turquoise/teal -- much closer to blue than green -- and the bezel looks almost black. And this is in bright light. In dim light, the dial and bezel look black. Colorways aside, this is a really nice watch.
Very nice all of them. I am not much for red but that maroon one was beautiful. You know me and Green is like you and Blue. Hearing you call the green one Awsome was music to my ears. If I start save up today I might be able to get the Green one in a few months.
Important Announcement! I own the Orient Kamasu in red and blue. The red dial plays with the light in a way that the blue dial does NOT. I bought the red one first, loved it and then bought a blue one because I thought it would be similar. This is not the case. The blue is nice, but just plain and boring and has nothing of the "spark" that the red one has. Buy the red one, ignore the others!
Hi Marc just bought the Kano with the red bezel Black face for 153.00pounds from Amazon uk.love it ,fits great on my 7 and a half wrist.bargain price I think for a automatic plus hacking. The strap is the same material as the seiko prospex line as well.
I don't know if I should buy the green one or the black and gold one with silicon strap EDIT: I eventually bought the green one and Wooow the quality is stunning, especially for the price... Really a great watch!
The Komasu nails it for me a really great looking watch with great specs. Think your right, it’s a winner. Diver collection is getting out of control, but I just love them SO much! Help 😁
On the Kamasu the lume pip is what I would call protected now as its set into the bezel insert. Its not sitting above the insert where it can get damaged or yellowed. The other thing is that the hour markers are an off white which match nicely with lots of non-metal straps.
0:46 "We have so much time and so little to do" Marc, you seem a lil flustered in this vid BTW, I approve of the hands on that Kamasu. Very nice. And I like the dial to bezel ratio 7:30... no offence to your video skillzzzz Marc, but I just wanted to say for anyone thinking about that dial color, it's even more rich and lustrous in real life... I have an M-Force that color and it's GORGEOUS
Do they make rubber straps for the Kamasu that look more like the crafter blue straps? Sleek, no folds near the watch, potentially in a multitude of colors,
I have a 7 & 3/4-inch wrist and my daily is a Casio GX-56BB, but the legibility is terrible. So I recently bought a Kano ...and although the legibility is brilliant, the watch itself feels kinda tiny! Lovely watch though, so I've ordered a Triton and have my eye on an M-Force too.
Great Video Mark. Couple of questions. 1. Which do you think looks better on the Kamaso,, Green or Red dial? 2. Can I get that black rubber strap on either of the Kamaso? Thanks
Thanks Marc. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Remember, I just asked about the Kano. Both look great. Wish the Kano came with a sapphire crystal. Sweet watches.
The green and the maroon dial/black bezel are to die for. Currently my cheapest diver is a bit over the $1000 mark, so maybe I get one of those to have a proper beater for when I simply don’t want to care. They look somewhat light too, which is a plus. I don’t like when a watch is too heavy.
I got into watches too late for the M-Force (which saddens me since I have large wrist). I do like the red bezel Kano but I'm still waffling between the red bezel Kano and the two tone Triton. The decision would be easy if the Kano came with a bracelet option.
Really dig the Kamasu. Top triangle reminds me of Zodiac just a tad. Really like the hands. On the Kano, not crazy about the mismatch in color between indices and hands, but love sapphire on the Kamasu. This is the first image i've seen of the green Kamasu that really catches the dial color and bezel color. You beat the H pout of the Orient site on that regard. Thanks!
Hi Marc, can i ask in regards to the indices on the kamasu, are they applied exactly like the Ray 2>? they dont seem to pop out as much on your video compare dwith the Ray. Can you please confirm. thank you
I noticed the green and red watches second hands were not moving. What's the deal on that? If they are auto wind watches, then with all his motion, they should be ticking.
I might be in the minority but I think the strong green hue to hands and markers clash with the blue and red dials in a pretty unfortunate way, wish they were whiter. Looks great on the Green and Black dials though, and I think I'll eventually pick up the green.
Hello Mike, i love your channel, especially the watch presentation. I'm wearing a seiko field watch; i also have a collection of different watchbrands. God bless. Keep up the good work.
Hi Mark, will you be getting the Red Kamasu back in stock anytime soon? A month after your video they are already sold out. Also, is there a display case back that is available for the the Kamasu? Do you know if there are any others that would fit that are maybe made for the Mako or Ray watches? Thanks for the great info and videos you post.
(watched this on my way to an oyster jubilee...) i thought Tudor too - it's the matte aluminum bezel. my father's day wish list is complete - thanks! (I wish orient would drill the lugs)
is the sapphire crystal same as the mako usa ii where the bezel is taller than the crystal or is it same level as the ray ii? this isn't mentioned at least i didn't see?
Great video! For the Kano, anyone know what the difference is between RA-AA0011B19A and RA-AA0011B19B? Only the last letter is different but the ones ending in "B" are much cheaper! Is the model ending in "B" not warrantied in US or something? Not familiar with Orient's model scheme.
Ah, the blue Kamasu looks splendid, and is the perfect size. But I'm waiting for strapcode to make some solid end link bracelets for it. (The mako/ray ones doesn’t fit perfectly according to forums). I’m also hesitant because I had a bad experience with the movement last time (Pretty crap in many aspects actually, but maybe a dud)
Marc, not sure how much influence you have with the guys at Strapcode, but if you have some, I would love to see if the Kamasu can get the Super-J, not the Angus-J. Also the Hexad (and Hexad for the Triton, too).
I wouldn't mind the Angus-J Louis for my Triton, but happy with what came with the watch and just had it sized. Marc may have some influence with them, Long Island Watch is listed on their site as their US reseller.
@@MrDoggerDog Actually looking for maybe a Silicone for an option, shouldn't be to hard to find, just want to make sure you get something that won't clash with blue.
@@islandwatch Thanks, Marc. I've emailed them a bunch of times. I've been clamoring for more hexad end links for a while. Also super-J options for the SARB lineup (not Angus), but I never even hear back with a "thanks". I have a Helm SS2 in the mail right now, and they told me it might be able to tie into the Triton OEM end link, so fingers crossed until SC comes up with a bona-fide solid end link Hexad...
I received my red Kamasu (Dec 2020, ordered direct from Orient USA. With a 15% year end discount, it was $261.80 out the door) and frankly, I'm thrilled with it. It has a truly stunning appearance, the band is robust and the lume is brilliant, well done. After three days of operation, it is running 5 secs fast (+1.6 secs/day). Hardly a measurement of long term accuracy but a good indicator of the movement's quality. As a retired college professor, grade-A to Orient and their Kamasu!!
The bracelet is put together with pins, I purchased the red dail very beautiful.
Thank you and pinned!
I purchased the red dail too
No collars?
Resized the bracelet today. Yep, it uses pins without collars.

You are welcome. I really wanted to capture it.
Shellfish style bracelet?
It's a joke. A play on oyster.
Bivalve style!
The OEM bracelet of the Mako II does fit the Kamasu! So you guys know...
I just bought the kamasu black and gold with rubber strap, and I love it. I Kanno has the perfect size for my wrist. Really thinking in getting one.
I literally got a Ray Raven II today... Heck, I'm gonna be dreaming about that black and gold two tone for a while now.
Razeen Mujarrab that is a beautiful watch, I just couldn’t justify it with a rubber strap at the same price as the metal bracelet ones

Kamasu dial is definitely more of an evolution of the Mako USA than the Ray.

Quite like the Kano , might stick one on the list , as my next purchase , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
I love that red Kano. Kind of like my grail watch, the Black Bay.
I have the red bezel Kano, it wears smaller than you'd think and is really comfortable. Highly recommended
And the rubber is quite comfy.

Does the coin edge bezels that you offer fit the Kamasu like it does the USA II?
Is it true that skx bezel insert mods can be used on these watches? Woul be nice to change the bezel insert to a dual time one.
I got into watches too late for the M-Force (which saddens me since I have large wrist). I do like the red bezel Kano but I'm still waffling between the red bezel Kano and the two tone Triton. The decision would be easy if the Kano came with a bracelet option.
I do not see the green dial and green bezel Kamasu on Orient's website anymore. Did they stop making them?
both of the watches with red look great. my pick of the bunch is the red dial for sure
Thanks!

Yeah, their photos are lackluster. The green needs a dousing of light.
I just received the Kamasu red dial today and it is absolutely stunning! 😍👍
Kano 4 (black face/red bezel) reminds me of Tudor Black Bay
William Moran just posted that. Total agreed
I hate that its so big in diameter
When I saw the maroon dial, I had to have one. Pins, no collars!!! Super easy to adjust. Beautiful watch.
How it holds up?
Hi Marc, can i ask in regards to the indices on the kamasu, are they applied exactly like the Ray 2>? they dont seem to pop out as much on your video compare dwith the Ray. Can you please confirm. thank you
I am stuck between the green, red and the golden one.
I noticed the green and red watches second hands were not moving. What's the deal on that? If they are auto wind watches, then with all his motion, they should be ticking.
Is the crown any easier to operate than the ray II?
Just checked your website for the green kamasu and it's out of stock. Any idea when you will restock? Thanks!
Fully agree with you on that green one (looks great)!

Bezel on the kamasu is slightly raised over the saphire. Tiny bit.
I know it dont have the «diver’s 200m» mark, but would a «20 bar» watch do it for actuall diving, or is it more of a «desk diver»?
I cant unsee the Tudorness of the Kano!
Love the look of the Kano ,all great tho and amazing value ,
you guys should make a sapphire for the last one.

Thanks for the review Marc. I'm curious. With the blue face, is it more like the original mako or more like the Mako 2 .
Red Kamasu and Blue Ray II, the only two divers I will ever need
is the bezel completely useless without the second markers on it?
Do you have bracelet for Orient kanno?
Mark, are the crowns larger on these new watches than the crowns on the Ray?
If so, fractionally.
