The New Orient Bambino is Silly Good 

hi, what is the name and material of this beautiful strap at 2:42?

I like it

Yeah he’s overthinking it lol old fashioned because it’s .5mm raised

Touché guys. Totally agree. That's one of the best features of Orient watches... Other than their specs, in-house movement, WR (for the drive-style watch series), decent lume, clicky bezels, etc... But I digress... I've been looking at the Gen 2 ver 2 for the longest time now... 😁

Totally agree!

i agree it looks great with the cream dial gives it that old money vibe

A Classy Climber, i see 🧐

Just apply bit watch polish and good rubbing, and itll as good as new

Hi, I like this watch very much but a mineral glass on this is a serious let down. I am considering a Tissot gentleman in brown strap and silver dail with quartz movement. What you say I shall wear this on formal dress and for my wrist size its 6.5 inches..

@@Knowledgeseeker70 it’s a dress watch, mineral glass is more than enough. I’d say that Tissot is probably going to look huge on your wrist. I’d go for this over that.

Couldn't agree more in terms of owing for the few times of the year you need to dress up. I wish finances would allow me to purchase a Longines heritage flagship which is obviously better quality but almost five times the price. I have owned Orient watches before, the rough winding and loud rotars put me off. This new size is a little hard to resist.

@@Knowledgeseeker70I feel like people get a little too into really minor specifications like water resistance and crystal. How often are you going to enough extremes that you need 200m of water resistance and a sapphire crystal (I know you didn't mention water resistance, I'm just commenting on the general theme of spec hunting). While I agree it would be nice, you have to consider that for making a watch with this level of design and finishing WITH an in house movement for less than $200 when on sale you can't really complain about anything spec wise because imo that's just asking for too much at this price point, if you want this level of watch with the additional specs you'll prob have to hunt around the $500 mark

Cream dial is where it's at!

Cheers, glad to have you here 😊

can you share what orients get the compliments? I want to buy a good watch when i finish my phd.

Yes they really need to shrink the lunar pilot more!

Good call! Timex just made a great titanium watch at this price 🤯

I am one of those people who am recovering from AE rolex knock offs. Those watches really make you question how important originality is to you. They are just made SO much better than many original watches in the category. But... I sold those watches, and am starting an affordable 3 watch collection. I've got 2 down and 1 to go: seiko srpe55 and the cream dial bambino featured in this video. Enjoying them so far

Cheers 🍻

@WatchChrunchOfficial I got no idea if this is for real or not. Lol. Ive never won anything online before.

Nice that's a perfect size for ya 👌

I have the same model and it keeps almost perfect time. Practically chronometer standard. Incredible for the price. Quality is better than Seiko imho.

@@watchingbrief7072 I believe the movmt inside the Bambino is an older Seiko movmt.

@@johnsanabria3279 that’s right. It’s based on older Suwa architecture. Robust and reliable.

@@watchingbrief7072 I love both bambino and seiko. According to my experience with both, bambino movements are a bit more accurate and includes stuff like hand-winding and hacking which seiko watches lack for the same price. Seiko entry level movements are quieter than bambino’s though.

Nice work, sounds lovely 👍

Hate that 36mm is now for ladies. And some brands make them unwearable for men with the super tiny lug widths hahaha

I'll wait to buy all the broken ones off eBay for cheap 😄

@@WatchCrunchOfficial haha, that's actually a great idea!

@@WatchCrunchOfficial Iguess for a wall display then? Don't pay more than $30 - $40 for it. Not serviceable.

@@WatchCrunchOfficial That will be next year most likely then!

Good to stay away this time 😅

Orient really improves on the Bambino a lot. You are right. Seiko 5's field watches are great right now. Don't like the SSK that much but a Seiko 5 field-watch, an Orient Bambino, the citizen Promaster (automatic) and the casio F91-W are like the perfect low-price watch collection. I would recommend everyone these models while starting the hobby because you will get everything you need out of this cheap collection. Heritage, wearability, durability, enjoyment and even the biggest watch-snobs will aknowledge these models.

Thanks Craig!

@WatchChrunchOfficial hi) give me a link please

I think he said colareb was the brand

🤣

You won't regret it!

Colareb 👍

Awesome! So many colors to choose from

It’s from colareb

It's coming 🙌

Google Colareb 👍

Good point, last gen moon watch is a steal

It's a Colareb 👍

Great watch! Too big for me but still great 👍

@@WatchCrunchOfficial 38mm Strela P3017 oder the 40mm Sturmanskie P31659 - great space exploration history and +- similar price to the Bulova
