Buying Orient in Canada .

What is the source for buying an Orient watch in Canada? I was looking at Orient bambino if anyone here could share anything about it.

There is no Canadian distributor for Canada. Even the US site doesn't have price and they don't sell thru that site. Amazon Canada seems to be the best option for Canadian buyers. Jomashop and Long Island Watch are often used as well and is sometimes even less expensive than Amazon, even after the conversion. Jomashop/LIW are Cdn friendly and great to deal with.

See the link as Orient explains purchasing options:

Canada is only a market of about 38 million... not worth most brand's time...

All mine come from Amazon. I know Island Watch Co. (the ones that also have their in house Islander brand) is also a distributor of Orient and shipping to Canada is not too expensive, though for customs you might or not have to pay and import tax (ordered two Islanders in two separate occasions, the first did not have additional custom taxes but the second did 🤷‍♂️).

Agree. That being said, they don't sell directly to US either. Canada globally is known as a very good market per capita. Canada is considered a country of consumers by retailers , Canada is also considered one of the toughest markets to retail to because Canadians are extremely particular about quality and value for dollar. Some of the best products in the world come from or are available to Canada.

I'm also Canadian, I was just being sarcastic as a lot of companies don't put any effort in here because we aren't America.

Unfortunately you'll have to find a small shop that carries Orient.

OR, you get it from https://www.orientwatchusa.com/ They ship to Canada

I know you weren't being sarcastic. All good. 👌

A defense mechanism by Canadians to let the world that we're much bigger country than most people think and not just a haven of trees, moose, hockey, and maple syrup. 🤪💪😎😂

Amazon has a good selection of Orients. Let the God Bezos hook you up.

Check Kijiji ... sometimes you'll find very gently used Orients for sale in Kanuckistan on there for good prices!
