Ouch Ouch, I can no longer enjoy this watch, but I sense that it is just temporary, the time to put other watches on my wrist, I will one day have to find in this Mako 2 everything that one can ask of a utilitarian watch .... and let's admit it, refined. Because yes, what currently bothers me about the very popular Mako 2 is its shiny, sun-kissed jewel side, with its polished surfaces ..... that's not what I ask of it. Originally, this watch was supposed to accompany me on mountain bikes & other cycling practices. Also a tool watch for tinkering. But in this register, it was too flashy. This watch has the "not expensive enough my son" syndrome. It has a degree of finish that you wouldn't expect at this price. This is the type of watch that raises the critical question "why would you want to spend more on a watch?" I still don't have the answer. Rarity? Exclusivity? Elitist image? "History"? Record? Prowess? Seen in the ad? Seen on a star? Seen on insta? I'm sulking about this watch without fundamentally understanding why; yet it has accompanied me on many outings & it works like the first day. In short, a watch for the long term, with alternating attraction / repulsion phases. What more does a BB58 bring compared to this Mako? I don't know. A small particularity of this watch, its format. Case Ø41.5 / 42, Bezel Ø40 with a large notched part polished steel. The result is a blue bezel with a narrowed diameter of Ø38mm, which contributes to making it elegant. This watch is a witchcraft in itself, bewitched without really wanting to be, it poses a real question on the perception of quality. So much the better.
