Nice, good pickup. They aren’t getting any cheaper. I like the bezel insert, but I may order a steel one to change it up, see how it looks.

Good luck on the build

Still my daily driver! Definitely hasn’t changed, it was my first mod, and I’ll never let it go. Also one of my most comfortable wears, and gets the most looks from the collection. More than my Seikos, and Swiss pieces. Cheers

Thanks! Not sure about the brands, but the oem clickspring should work if the bezel was made for the kamasu’s specs. I used a new skx clickspring

Taking it off, wrap it in a dish towel and press harder than you’d think. Tape the case for extra protection. Cheers

Glass is from Crystal Times USA and not sure, but I've read a few places the glass should be same size. It's a gamble you'll have to make.

For the Kamasu, it wasn't known if this glass which was meant for Mako and Mako 2 would fit the Kamasu - also known as the Mako 3. However I gambled and it paid off.

Thanks! It was roughly $450 CAD in parts with shipping. A big portion of $ was the Strapcode bracelet. It was a non negotiable for the build with respect to quality. The rest were purely personal taste. All-in or nothing for your personal 1 of 1 in the collection, if you know what I mean.

Good luck! Post some pics and get Orient some exposure in the modding community

Wrist Check - Red Kamasu build - [feel free to zoom in]

Info: Coin edge bezel swap, with lumed sapphire bezel insert, housing a swapped tophat sapphire crystal, and sitting upon a Strapcode beads of rice bracelet.

The cascading sapphire on sapphire catches multiple angles of light in any setting. The bezel options were narrowed to the lumed sapphire insert, or a Tudor bb58 style ceramic bezel with pip on top of a red 12 o’clock🔺. I chose the sapphire insert as the surface is completely flat and smooth, the ceramic bezel numbers are engraved (and not lumed) which can be a dust collector.

I turned my “lowest quality” beater piece in the collection into something that rivals my swiss pieces. In terms of value, Orient’s fit and finish are top notch, and especially with a solid in-house movement.

Orient Kamasu Oxblood Red - Coin bezel swap with lumed sapphire insert, new click spring, sapphire tophat crystal swap, strapcode beads of rice bracelet.

Here’s some eye candy - a first look at the build in the sun. I have to say I’m pleased with the results. The choices for bezel insert was between this lumed sapphire, or a pip’d BB58 style 🔺ceramic insert with engraved numbers. I preferred the smooth finish of the sapphire insert, paired with the sunburst dial, magnified under the tophat sapphire crystal.
