Orient Watches

Value for money just emanates from the Orient Bambino. From the heavily domed mineral crystal, to the way the blue hands pop against the ivory white dial when the light hits them just right, the Orient Bambino is a cult classic that at this price point just cannot be missed. What do you guys think?

Haven't owned a Bambino but have thoroughly enjoyed every other Orient I have owned. They remain a hidden gem

I have the exact same watch. Even though I like it, I feel abit dissapointed with the hands. They seem to me unispired in terms of their shape. And the blue color only pops-up under specific angles and light. Otherwise for its money is a great watch overall.

@mattlawrence99 I couldn't agree more. You could count #orient to among THE benchmark brands when it comes to value-to-price. I have picked up a Bambino Version 3 with the grey/anthracite sunburst dial - lovely piece & feel very confident whenever I have the opportunity to wear it. Never gives you the feeling of being underdressed, nor too cocky a'la look-at-me, in-your-face.

I am going to be the naysayer. I have owned 2 Orient (Mako and Defender 2) and they have both been underwhelming. Many people say that they are as good value for money as a Seiko and I disagtee. The quality is not there. And combined with that is the fact that in my country they are difficult to obtain except through Amazon or EBay.

I have the bambino as well and love it. Threw it on a leather nato and its been a really great piece in my collection!

Whilst I don’t own a bambino, the Triton diver’s watch was ridiculous value for money. Quality seems as good or better than the lower end Seiko divers.
