    Orient Mako XL, which color (model)?

    Hi, this is my first post to this forum.

    I was wondering for people who have the watches, or have seen them in person could tell me if any of the models stands out as the most attractive.
    There is 4 models I stand between, the black, orange, white and the black with orange bezel. The only difference is that the white has a luminous dial, which is much better than the lume on the other models.

    What model should i choose?
    Would love any help!

    I had the blue version and it was really nice. Of the ones you are considering i would say the black with the black bezel.

    The black dial with black face is arguably the dressiest. But I really like the orange dial with black face.

    I just bought a Mako XL with orange bezel and white face on 1 Jan 2013. Retailer says it is a new color. Anyone seen it yet?

    I had the blue version a while back, it was nice but the dial was kinda sunburst-ish. If I ever picked up another one I would go with black/black or the black/white face one.

    Black/black if you're looking for something dressy



    But I think all colors look good on the Mako XL.

    Here's a couple of photos of my Blue Mako XL. It has been keeping amazing time (~+5 secs/day).
