 Olde Crow,  You got that right.  I recently ordered and received the bigger Orient Mako...the 7500, in Orange.  I am extremely pleased with it.

 They made it out to be the "new improved Mako" and in many ways it IS!  The larger size has great presence, but not overly huge.

The Orange dial looks better than my Orange Monster.  The hands are great, the indices easier to see.

BUT, I expected BETTER LUME!  What I got was WORSE LUME!  Unbelievable!  Absolutely......with all the comments about the Mako's poor lume, one would THINK they would improve the lume?  BUT NOOOOO!   Worse.....pretty much just enamel. 

  But, I like the total package better.  I was about to send it off for a LUME JOB, but I don't want to wait 6 months and spend a couple of hundred on a $125 watch.

However, with that said, I'd buy a new one again.  Looks GREAT.
