Building on its impressive line of ocean-ready timepieces, Makara has launched the Sea Serpent. This hefty 100-meter water-resistant watch draws eyes with its geometric look Read More
Funny, how this watch is still getting requested, despite all the negative comments. I would simply recommend not to buy it. Especially, if you are not in USA/Canada.

On patina: I don’t really look at it as a plus or a minus, but in terms of ‘forcing’ it, Auguste Rodin, the great master of bronze sculpture, used to have his (male) apprentices ‘enhance’ the newly- cast bronze statuary in his workshop yard by urinating on them (the statues, not the apprentices). Next time you are looking for a way to enhance that ugly bronze watch you got - let ‘Er fly!
and they said that degree in art history would never be useful ...
I have posted this before, but want to come in again to help a brother out. I try not to be too critical in my feedback on forums, but this particular micro brand is way over-hyped as compared to their product and business model. The three iterations: Sea Turtle, Sea Turtle 2, and Sea Serpent are almost the same case, dial, layout, and strap- very little design ingenuity. Add to that the brass knuckles clasp that has nothing to do with nautical, nor biological themes- why? The quality is regularly off- look at another comments. My Sea Turtle two started stopping and starting after about 2 months. Then comes the absolute lack of customer service. I emailed Makara 12 times- never a response- beyond the automated “a ticket has been opened.” Fortunately, the over-hyping worked for me when I resold it on EBay as a watch that needed servicing and I made my money back. With brands like Zelos, Glycine, Maranez, etc. producing a well thought out and dependable bronze diver in this price range- go another route. Just my $.02 + a full-on rant.

I wonder why they lower the water resistance on this watch vs sea turtle. They both look similar, except the size. Could it be the thickness of the metal? Not a deal breaker, but more of a curiously thought of mine.
I own two Makaras; no QC issues with either version.
Of the two, this is the some what dumbed down model: no date complication, no hacking/winding, and less lume the Sea Turtle.
The buckle was problematic on the Turtle, but has been resolved completely on this Serpent.
Fun watches to wear so long as you know what you’re buying.
My watch arrived defective. Gains several minutes per hour, more than an hour ahead after 24 hours of use...or should I say, useless. Have contacted Drop to ask how I return it and get a refund.
