James Bond watch.. the eastern style :) Orient Mako Bond

Orient Blue Mako… Eastern’s Way and Bond’s Way

Hello all watch lover and James Bond fans….
Since I like James Bond, from the first movie until the recent one..
Been big fan of “ watches “ all over Bond’s movies… Rolex, Seiko, Omega ..

I own a Rolex Submariner No Date.. like Mr Bond… (never let me down)
but also loves many more watches, esp.. dive watch in affordable range ..

One of my favourite watchs, is Orient Blue Mako..
It is stylish, elegant, functional, unique but also macho in Orient’s way..

I try to play around with Blue Mako.. combining it with my other love, Bond’s way..
Hope I don’t offend anyone.. I love both.. watches, movies and imagination..

So lets start… Orient Blue Mako… Eastern’s way and Bond’s way…



Orient Blue Mako.. Eastern’s way..
This is the eastern’s beauty that we always know… Blue Mako.. I ll keep it simple in just two photos and one wrist shot..








Orient Blue Mako, Bond’s way.. James Bond ‘s Style
I try to match.. Bond Nylon strap, deliberately using smaller size (20 mm, not using 22 mm) ..
Like the classic Rolex Submariner No Date in Bond strap in smaller size…

Lets see how Orient Blue Mako.. in Bond strap in smaller size..













I guess.. Orient Blue Mako, could do either
Eastern way.. the old way

Bond’s way .. unique new way of life =)

Lets see both ways together..







For Bond’s way..
James Bond always loved by ladies…
At least mine is loved by a lady :p


and I wear my Orient Bond Style while drinking Vodka Martini =p



in the end…
which is the best.. both are best for me.. Orient Blue Mako , in traditional Eastern way and in Unique Bond Style…

Eastern Way


Bond’s way


Thank you all good people
William

Looks like a real nice package, the dark blue dial is alluring

I love the blue on the dial and the day date window. I also have a Omega Seamaster, which I purchased for the blue color. The most striking blue watch that I have ever seen to date is the new Blue Submariner in white gold. I wish that I could afford it.
