Orient Mako XL discontinued (2010-2017) (Mako XL, CEM75001B). Current Prices, JDM Listings, Market Analysis
The Orient Mako XL is the larger-case iteration of Orient's widely followed Mako diver line, produced under references including the CEM75001B. It was discontinued in 2017, which has kept a steady secondary market alive among buyers who prefer its proportions over the standard Mako. Tonbo tracks this model because the US-Japan price gap creates periodic arbitrage windows, even if the data set is thin at present. At a US median of $280, it sits in a price tier where condition quality on JDM sourcing has real consequences.
Current US Market Value
The current US median for the Orient Mako XL discontinued (2010-2017) Mako XL sits at $280, with the interquartile range running from $200 to $380. That spread is meaningful, suggesting condition and completeness vary considerably across what reaches the US resale market. It is important to note that the comp quality for this model is rated 🟠Estimate only, based on a sample size of just three data points. The Mako XL price guidance here should be treated as directional rather than definitive. Anyone pricing or purchasing against these figures should weight individual listing condition heavily and treat the median as a reference floor rather than a reliable anchor.
Active JDM Listings
Recent Japanese marketplace activity for the Mako XL shows a reasonable spread of availability, with listings clustered around late May across both flea market and shop platforms. Prices range from budget-range worn examples to a notably elevated shop listing that likely reflects box and papers or collector-grade presentation. The presence of multiple "no noticeable scratches or stains" condition notes is a positive signal for buyers looking to Mako XL for sale from Japanese sources.
- ¥14,300 on Yahoo Flea Market, described as no noticeable scratches or stains
- ¥25,800 on Yahoo Flea Market, described as close to unused
- ¥27,800 on Yahoo Flea Market, no noticeable scratches or stains (two separate listings at this price)
- ¥27,800 on Mercari, listed in good condition
- ¥40,000 on Yahoo Flea Market, no noticeable scratches or stains
A single Yahoo Shop listing at ¥110,910 sits well above the flea market range. Shop-tier listings on Yahoo Japan typically reflect retailer or dealer pricing with associated premiums that rarely make sense for arbitrage calculations.
Recent Alert History
No strict or opportunity alerts have fired for the Orient Mako XL discontinued (2010-2017) in the past 90 days. This is worth acknowledging plainly. It could reflect the thin comp data making threshold-setting imprecise, or it could mean that recent JDM prices have not broken cleanly below levels that would trigger a signal. Buyers who want to buy Mako XL Japan should treat the current window as one requiring manual review rather than relying on automated alerts to flag action.

Japan vs. US Price Gap
The mid-range flea market listings in the ¥14,000 to ¥28,000 range translate to roughly $95 to $185 at current exchange rates, which places them comfortably below the US p25 of $200 before import costs and any intermediary fees are factored in. That gap is real, but narrower than it appears once shipping, proxy service fees, and the occasional customs delay are included. The discontinued status of this reference is the core driver of US demand persistence. Japanese sellers are liquidating what was once a common domestically sold model, while US buyers are chasing a watch that no longer ships new from any retailer.
The primary risk here is comp thinness. With only three US data points informing the price estimate, a single outlier transaction could be skewing the median in either direction. Condition variance compounds this. The difference between a ¥14,300 example and a ¥27,800 example on the same platform on the same day likely reflects real wear differences that will affect US resale value.
