The Ray II is such an amazing watch at this price point it’s mind boggling. Yes it’s very Submarinerish in style but with a better looking handset. The lume is every bit as good as my Seikos if not a touch better. It’s thinner than an SKX, hacking movement, has after market support for bracelets, fitted straps, crystals, bezels and inserts. The only thing I’d personally change about it if I could would be to make it a date only and drop the day complication.

I have both the blue and black dial both in Strapcode bracelets(kind of a necessity if you ask me, the factory end links suck). If you don’t have one yet, why not? They’re still on Amazon for like $170. It’s a no brainer. The black dial could easily be my only watch if I could only afford just that.

    Can’t say anything… I bought one almost 7 years ago because i didn’t have money for an skx — it’s still going strong and it’s been through hell and back, from cliff-jumping to diving, working on the house and car… lost my pearl hitting a barrel edge while washing grapes to make wine 😁 It’s an amazing watch, I will keep it forever. There are some cons to consider though: Lume is not better than seiko and the bezel got stuck for me, even though i washed it after going into salt water, and also removed & cleaned underneath the bezel.
