OrientBambino Version 2' Stainless Steel Japanese Automatic / Hand-Winding Dress Watch

Bought this watch quite by accident (we've all been there) and totally did not plan on keeping it. After I tossed it on a different strap I had laying around, it's a keeper. Sure, it's a dress watch but with a simple strap change, it can be dressed down to fit any occasion. It's nice and thin, as it should be unlike a Seiko Presage. Seems to keep good time but it's an automatic...if you want absolute precision you're not buying an automatic.The 21mm lug width is a bit of a bummer but a 22mm soft leather strap can be mushed on to it. In my case, a 20mm canvas one fits just fine without too much of a gap. Just be sure to use the factory spring bars if you're going down a size.All in all, it's a beautiful bargain and I wish I'd added it to my collection sooner.

I love it. Looks beautiful although I think I'm gonna change the strap it's too dark and shining. Great purchase for the price.

After a small snafu with being sent the incorrect watch, they made it right. The watch is very nice. The wind sounds crisp and the stands move smooth. I am happy with it.

Like my other Orient watches, this one is a true bargain. The dial, hands, case, and other details are all much higher-grade than you'd expect for the price point. The case is slender, and the domed crystal allows light in from the perimeter as well as the top, bringing out a lot of detail in the beautiful dial. The blue hands really pop in a subtle but noticeable way. The strap is nice-looking but initially stiff and uncomfortable. The buckle is nice, but I think I'll find a third-party strap or bracelet to go with it that's a bit more in keeping with the look and feel of the watch. I'm a big fan of Orient and this watch continues that trend.

Impressed for the price. Has a retro dress watch look. Running about +15 seconds a day fast. Excellent for mechanical watches. Would have preferred 38mm for my small wrist but light and thin is ok. Easy to read. Band is suitable style but a bit too shiny and stiff.

Solid construction: There is weight to this watch. Not too heavy, just solidly built. It does not feel cheap on your arm, it feels like quality. The strap is a bit stiff fresh out the box, hit it with some leather conditioner, and it softens right up.Accuracy: looks to be running about 8 seconds a day fast, based on syncing up with my computer clock. Internet says 10 seconds a day or less is acceptable. I am good with it.Good looks: I wear this watch at work daily, and often receive compliments on it. I wear my watch and my wedding ring, that's it. This watch sets off any outfit I wear. To be honest, having a nice watch on your arm just feels better than a cheap plastic watch.This is my first Orient brand watch, I will be adding others down the road. I feel like the quality is high enough that I will be passing one down to each of my sons. I am really pleased with the purchase of this watch. I have my eye on the Green Kamasu for my next acquisition!

Both, automatic and rewind.Sleekly, classy and elegance.Affordable price for Japanese watch entry level.

Finally got it and I love it. It's instantly understandable why so many people rave about the Bambino. It is quite simply stunning on the wrist and makes one instantly want to dress up and use the word "one" when referring to well, oneself ;-) Its a mineral crystal and these days they ARE assembled in Thailand, however, the movement remains Japanese produced and comes with the standard of quality "one" would expect. The real magic is how this very affordable timepiece feels on ones wrist. Grab the suits folks, polish those tan brogues, buy this watch.
