What are the differences between this drop and the USA Mako?

Mamba315I'd actually like to redact my previous comment about buying a USA Mako. There are many differences, but the biggest for me is that the USA Mako has a thinner (by a full 1mm) crystal that creates a big gap between the crystal and the bezel, leaving the bezel unsupported and prone to damage. From what I've read, getting a replacement bezel can be nearly impossible, and the best option is to replace the crystal with a thicker one before the bezel gets damaged. I'll just stick with the OG Mako, and maybe the Ray if it gets dropped in the future.

RomuluxThe Mako USA has a lot of improvements over the original, but not all are well executed. I've heard that Orient said that they have the crystal lie below the bezel to prevent the crystal from being damaged, which makes no sense since it's sapphire. If the bezel gets damaged, it can probably be replaced with a Ray's bezel, which is nearly identical.
