So are any of the Ray parts available for those of us that might like to do some Mako modification..  Mainly interested in the hands and bezel insert..

If you ever find a source for Orient parts that is fast and reliable you let us know!

I probably would buy the new ray and swap the parts with the old one, then sell the one I don't want to keep.

I have always thought there was a huge market for Orient parts, someone with ties to manufacturing in China could do a really good business selling quality aftermarket parts to fill the void that Orient is leaving,

There is demand for parts but for some reason nobody has picked it up. There are very few true Mods and Custom Orients out there aside from a Hands and Strap changes.
