A truly stunning gift from my girlfriend, this one came just in time for my birthday (10th July)!! I wanted one for a long time now and as you can probably imagine, I'm very ecstatic! :)
The rubber band that came with it was replaced by the matching Pepsi coloured NATO within a minute after I opened the box. Shout out to Marc from ISLAND WATCH for taking some time off from his vacation and getting this shipped in time :)

nice watch cf. always loved those orients. affordacle and elegant. BTW where did you get that Nato from? locally?
Thanks Sundeep :)
I ordered the strap from Island Watch itself as I figured it would save me on shipping cost. Unfortunately I still haven't been able to find a local dealer for NATO straps :(

My pepsi says hi. Enjoy wearing it. Hows the bezel. Mine was very tight. Had to pop it open and bend the ring a bit.
Hey Sumanth, I really like that NATO :)
You are right about the bezel, it is rather tight. Might just pop it open if I start using it.
Always love the orient. I have two and love them both.
Btw any idea where I can get a good watch box with place for 5 or 10 watches? preferably within India.
just can't seem to find any good ones around...

I have one box that i purchased from a local dealer. Although I am not very fond of him, he does keep a lot of watch related stuff. You can see the one I bought here - http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3655/3681812541_9951c1bba0_m.jpg
Its pretty decent and stores quite a few watches. I think I paid around Rs. 2500 for it.
PS: That's a pic of the old collection :p
Oops! Forgot to mention, the dealer I was talking about is called Lokhandwala Watches, its in Lokhandwala, Andheri (west).
Thanks for the pic,
its kinda small so cudnt tell much.
is it possible to put up some more pics please?
I also have found one but its rather small and I will try and get a pic of it though.

Hmm, Flickr seems to have resized it. Try this one:

I'll take more pics of it once I get back home and put them up.
Cheers!
nice pam u got there CF.
Hey Sundeep, that actually is not a PAM, but rather what is considered by a few watch forums as a 'homage'. Basically, its used for a watch with a very similar design and look as a high end one, without any mention of the original brand anywhere. Its not considered to be a fake by some people, whereas others tend to disagree. I too caught that bug and bought one, however, I just couldn't get myself to wear it more than a couple of times and ended up selling it.
I do hope to buy a PAM 111 someday :)
I am a dive watch lover i like your orient mako dive watch post.I like the three orient mako watches.
Any store in india selling orient mako as I want to try the watch before buying. Will not go for it if heavier than my tissot prs200
Hi guys, really sorry for the late reply :(
@Pseu Donym - Thank you :)
@Nikesh - Unfortunately, I don't think the Mako is available locally. Regarding the weight, it weighs around 150 gms, depending on what kind of a strap/bracelet you use, I think it's about the same as the PRS200. I am using a NATO strap, which makes the watch very light on the wrist.
Hello From Florida CF, I found your image on a Google search and realized we have the same taste for Pepsi Makos the difference is I used a Indigo Leather NATO from Crown and Buckle during the cooler months and the same NATO as you in the summer. Best ..Tony
@Tony - Great to hear that! And as I type, I realise I'm wearing the Mako :)
