Case arrived from Al today.. So a quick movement transplant and onto an Orient Dive strap..

Some of you may recognise the dial from a previous world traveller that I sent out a couple of years ago..

The dial is from an Indain eBay seller and it is quite well done.. It came in Orient World Diver case that I was after.. The movement under the dial is a mix of Orient and Seiko movements which goes to support the early origin of Orient movements..

Cheers

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..

Really like the yellow arrow second hand.  The standard red on the Mako I does not stand out enough for me to see it instantly.  Where did you obtain it?  Other contrast second hand ideas?
