This video is about the Orient Ray 2 . The dive watch seen in this video has a striking blue dial and is also available in black, orange (Ray Raven 2) and black on black (Ray Raven 2). The watch is made completely at the Orient factory in Japan. This is one of the few affordable in-house movements available another being Seiko. Affordable luxury and an inexpensive Rolex Submariner alternative...maybe so.
During this video you will be treated to a brief introductory trailer. Then you will learn about the watch in an overview. After that you will get to see what the Orient Ray 2 looks like outside. I will then give you my opinion and thoughts after wearing the watch for several weeks. I highly recommend the Orient Ray 2.

I own 5 various Ray’s and Mako’s, all with crystal/bezel/insert/strap upgrades or other mods and I absolutely love them! There are tons of options for mods and I made each one unique. I discovered lots of deals on excellent condition, second-hand examples on EBay and I paid around $100 and another $100-$150 in upgrades each and I will never see anyone else with my watch on and I never get bored tinkering with them.

They are wonderful! Thanks for commenting Ricky.

I just two weeks ago picked up the Orient Ray 2 Orange 🍊 dial for only $161 . This is really an outstanding watch for what little you pay . Incredible value . I wish I had bought one earlier but am very satisfied having it in my collection.

@watchyouknow 5 месяцев назад

+@1968jpy Well said. Mine still works great. No problems. Love wearing it.

@exexpat11 2 года назад

I have the exact same watch and I have loved Orient for 30 years. SK Diver 1981 was my first.

@watchyouknow 2 года назад

They are fantastic pieces with in house movements!

I remember I picked one up for $78 used, but brand new, eBay. Then another one for $90

@ogotuwaobuto5366 3 года назад

Great review. I have this watch in my collection. I would like to mention that most people are asleep when the date changeover takes place. So really, it’s not a big deal in day to life living.

@watchyouknow 3 года назад

That is true.

@dragonniz 2 года назад

I got myself a blue orient ray about 7-8 years ago to mark a milestone, and I've always enjoyed wearing it. The blue dial is just mesmerizing and I love how it can be both subdued when it's not exposed to light directly, and then just shimmer when it's out in the sun!

@watchyouknow 2 года назад

I agree. Orient makes excellent watches.

@timtaylor8557 5 месяцев назад

How did you get screwed in links? Did you change the bracelet? My Ray2 has push pins.

Anyone find the bezel very hard to turn on this and the kamasu I don't have a issue with the bezel on the kano.

@watchyouknow 4 месяца назад

+@atifghafoor6258 my bezel fell off...should do an update video. Stay away from Benyar.

@atifghafoor6258 4 месяца назад

@@watchyouknow is it the bezel on your orient that fell off or the benyar

@rejeanpaulforget8414 2 года назад

The day is indicated as LUN (french). Outside is THU. How to have a watch with the days in French or English?

@exexpat11 2 года назад

Is there are French Orient website? I know they also have Japanese/English and Chinese/English so they probably have a French/English.

@dragonniz 2 года назад

I have the older model Ray 1, but the day/date setup is the same. The days are actually in Spanish & English, LUN for Lunes. Lun, Mar, Mie, Jue.. Etc I don't think there's a French & English version out there. But hey, maybe you can do a custom Day wheel and have it installed, that would be cool!

@galacticcaveman4045 2 года назад

although i like the style and look of the bracelet, the hollow end links and very poorly made clasp(the folding part) are a no go for me. it has been in the box since day one. there are lots of aftermarket straps and/or bracelets that take this watch to another level.

@watchyouknow 2 года назад

Yes! And in my upcoming full review you will see it on a dark brown leather strap.

@danielciceu6354 2 года назад

I wear mine on a Bond NATO strap. I also replaced the mineral crystal with a sapphire one, and added a lumed sapphire bezel insert.

@spartanj2957 2 года назад

Even if Seiko owns 52 percent of Orient they have no say as to how or what Orient does .The movement was designed by and made by Orient. I've heavily modded mine and wouldn't trade it for a new Steinhart .You won't find a blue face anywhere like it not even on the new model from Orient. Min is 7 sec fast and I don't care.

@watchyouknow 2 года назад

Well said.😊 Thanks for watching Spartan J.

Killer watch.. the crown gets easier with use atleast with mine. For the price you're gonna have to work a little

Great watch, had mine for years and it's still very accurate and looks cool. It's especially nice on the solid Jubilee bracelet from Long Island Watch.
