Side-By-Side: Seiko SKX007 + Orient Mako USA
Last week we took a look at the new Orient Mako USA, Orient's reimagining of one of their most popular entry-level divers. At $225, the Mako USA��which comes updated with some higher-end specs��offers some serious bang-for-your-buck value. The comments section for that review understandably brought up comparisons to the SKX007, Seiko's flagship diver and probably the most iconic affordable dive watch currently on the market. So it got us thinking, does the new and improved Mako rival the venerable SKX007?Now, I'm sure you're thinking that it's not exactly a fair comparison. After all, the SKX007 is considerably cheaper, readily available for approximately $160 (the made in Japan version is considerably more) on either a rubber or a stainless steel bracelet. But if you take into account that an aftermarket bracelet with solid end links tacks on another $60, give or take, then the two watches line up in terms of monetary value. So, for the fun of it, let's compare these two excellent dive

Interested in a Speedy
Good Evening/Morning, Everyone.I am looking to purchase my first Omega. I was given 2 vintage pieces when my grandfather passed away and at the moment a Rolex is out of reach price wise. I also tend to gravitate towards the Daytona which is out of reach for the moment. I really like how the Speedy looks and wears. I just have a few questions about the major differences between the Speedy Pro and Regular models.Are there any references/calibers that have proven to be problematic, have issues, or that I should try and find?I've been looking on EBay and even though I tend to stay away from online purchases, the particular seller I have found has literally dozens of Speedy's and good feedback. I also would be protected by PayPal protection. I have attached a few links to some of the watches I have looked at. The seller is in Japan. I obviously want the watch to be all original with the original movement, etc, so are there any tells or ways I can identify this? Unfortunately the Canadian do

Losing 5 seconds a day
Hello there. I recently joined the Rolex club. A few months back I purchased a DJ41 from David SW for my 40th. I love the watch and was very pleased with the purchasing process.3 months later, and I'm noticing that my watch is losing 5 seconds a day. It's not a big deal by any means, but I know that Rolex is certified to +2/-2 seconds.The watch is under warranty, and the card has my name on it. I was wondering if you think it's worth bringing to the RSC? Again, I don't feel like the time loss is a big deal, but the watch was a major purchase, and I want it to perform at its best.Just wondering what the RolexForum community thinks. Thanks!

One out - One in 🐼
This is a move I’ve been strategizing and planning for several months. It took me a while I finally got the right numbers and example in place, thanks to my main man Takuya!This is another example, of one amazing watch leaving for one arriving. Loved the black dial Daytona. I still maintain that it is the more versatile of the two, but the white dial has been constantly haunting me. I had to try it, and couldn’t pass up this opportunity to do so.Here ya go my friends. My new 116500LN White Dial Daytona!
