The best Bambino version in my opinion. Such a great looking timepiece. Really just wish Orient didn’t plaster “Water Resistant” on their dress watches. It’s not only aesthetically unappealing but it’s unnecessary. If you’re gonna put anything at the 6 o’clock position of the dial just put that awesome cursive “Automatic”
It's such a cliché, but seriously folks, if the phrase "much nicer than it looks in pictures" can be applied to any watch, it's the Orient Bambino (all versions). Trust me on this: I now have 3 of them!
One thing that surprised me about reviews of this watch is everyone misses how nice the thing REALLY is: no one opens it. Almost the first thing I did when I received my Ver 2 Gen 2 was remove the caseback. This thing has a metal spacer and a caseback movement spring. I've never seen a modern, sub-$800 watch with a metal spacer. In fact, the only metal spacer I've ever seen in a modern watch is the spacer in a gold Concord Nine I inherited...and that spacer is literally gold. The (aluminum?) Bambino spacer holds the movement and dial and instead if being clasped to the case or just being held in place by its size, there's a +- 30mm diameter spring that sits in a slot in the caseback and pushes the spacer towards the crystal. In other words: this movement has full-movement shock protection which I've never even heard of, before. Usually, only the balance is protected with an incabloc jewel setting. The Bambino is stunning for the price.
I have one as a dress watch. I love it. It's perfectly made, it's very accurate and cost £100. I don't mind the stock strap either. It's pretty comfy and looks nive
I like your review. Fair enough, 21 mm strap is a disadvantage. I had to squeeze 22 mm soft leather strap to fit. 100% agree with you. I think, top features of the watch are dial, domed crystal, and price.
Hi there, with that carnatic music you nailed it ,you just send the video directly to higher levels, very smart move, I really apreciate it. Nicely done.
Hi Bruce. I'm glad you recovered from the past and the incident, I was about to give up on your channel. But your content is so good! One of the best watch channels, you address everything and it's crispy AF!
Very nice watch. I am still thinking about getting my first Bambino. I have always been a diver and gmt kinda of guy but I am slowly getting attracted to this watch. Great review and great info. Thanks.
I got my gen. 2 gold plated one for 211$ last week. It runs about +10 sec every 24h. It's thin for a mechanic movement and so light you hardly even notice it on your wrist. I'm so satisfied I bought this little fantastic dress watch.
NO, epson bought some social capital trying to control more the orient factory. Just strategies, Iam sure orient are bothering seiko, so they try to join them or integrate them in their holding. Orient still an independent factory.
Please never stop making watch videos! My pocketbook hates you, but I prefer your simple style over most other channels. I'm buying this watch now, haha.
"Genuine" is not a grade of leather, merely a statement of its origin. "Bonded" leather would be the lowest grade; it is made from leather scraps, compiled and compressed into a new form.
If you’re concerned about the domed crystal buy the Symphony. It has a flat crystal so is less prone to damage. I got both the black and silver/white dial versions.
i loved the black in pictures, but like the tissot visodate the hands and markers just disappear in a certain light. Maybe having the hands and markers brushed instead of polished could solve the issue.
I have the rose gold/black dial version of this. You're gonna want to get the right width strap however, lest your springbars come undone. I also have the version 2, cream roman dial with blue hands. Sharpest watches on the planet for the price!
Wow we have similar tastes.....lol I've got the Bambino 2. Bought it for $112 and it's brilliant...the dial in particular. Put it on a Hirsh croc, perfect dress watch (I hate dress watches usually)...also, the rotor is very noisy.
I recently purchased a Generation 3 Bambino, great value for money, beautiful looking watch. My only criticism is the strap but as you suggested this is a easy fix.
I own the Orient Star Classic with the black face it is absolutely Beautiful and I love it. I also own the Orient Bambino small hands with the Champagne face it's also beautiful. I'll be buying more Orient Star watches. Please do a review on the Orient Star Classic black face. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for posting this video Bruce I have found it very interesting indeed. I live in the UK and have only found out about Orient watches over the last 12 months from videos on Long Island Watch and Urban Gentry. Because of those reviews I have since purchased two Orient watches, a Orient 3 star model FEM0401RU9 which is a great value watch which I purchased on Ebay UK. The 2nd watch is a Orient Neo 70's Panda Solar powered chronometer watch which is a Japanese import, both watches I got for less than £200 Sterling in total and both brand new and not second hand and came with full international guarantees, they are incredible timepieces. I look forward to seeing more of your videos as I have now subscribed to your channel.
Jarl Ballin' All I can think is that the watch in the video must have gone through some tough wear. NONE of my dress watches (including my 3 Bambinos) look like that!
I have 2 bambinos, I cycle them through with other watches and they have quite a bit of wear. I am a rough user however, and put my watches through a bit of abuse
Is there a higher level watch ( Swiss maybe ) that looks as awesome as this ? This watch in person looks awesome !! It’s very difficult to appreciate it in video or pictures , but it’s awesome
The version 4 has 22mm lug but the over all case size is also increased to 42mm instead of 40.5mm. For your wrist size not an issue but smaller wrists under 6.5 inches may be.
Comment late but I have only had this watch for 1 month No negative points for the watch itself .. quite the contrary because it is COSC !!! indeed mine delays 1 second per week !! (when worn all the time) As for the bracelet, it is not of superior quality .. and since it is quite easy now to find 21 mm wide bracelets ... I replaced it Thank you for your review which made me decide to buy this watch (146 euros)
I have considered buy one. Yet, my old Swiss Valory looks very similar to it. These domed crystals scratch very easily. It is cheap to replace but a nuisance, so, I would only wear it on nights out.
I love that Orient Bambino. For me its not too big for dresswatch but yes could be a bit smaller. My fave is the Roman Numeral one. there are many versions/gens of Bambino, a bit confusing. I'd like a white dial one with Roman numerals. Sapphire is not a must. Hardlex for example is excellent, I havent gotten any marks pretty much.
Own the same bambino for 2 years. The biggest minus in my opinion is weight and the noise of the rotor. It’s simply too light compare with other solid watches. On the other hand when i choose the watch for the day - champagne dial and domed glass just conquers the heart.
Dude the quality of your videos is so good. You deserve more subs! Have you ever checked out the orient flight? It's a pretty interesting watch with not a lot of reviews on the internet.
Hi man. I just looked up the strap you mentioned in your video. Is that a 20mm? How does it fit in the bambino given that it’s actually a 21mm. Thanks in advance. Loved your video
I love my Bambino, but wouldn't get one again because of the mineral crystal. Too many scratches, especially because of the dome. Between scratches on this crystal and a Seiko 5 I bought (which I also like a lot), I'll only buy sapphire now.
Interesting how you can see the quality issues with the macro shots. Rough edges on the hands, a spot on the dial, etc. But, having said that, this watch is very inexpensive, so taken all together, it's probably not money wasted if you like it.
I would prefer domed crystal of smaller proportions. This one is a little over the top in regards to thickness and way too pronounced, to the point that it's almost distracting.
Wish I'd got a baton markered version like yours. It's much more Dean Martin / Frank Sinatra than mine. 21mm is the lug width I've ended up liking the best. My Longines Hydroconquest and ivory / rose gold / roman numeral Bambino have 21mm. 20mm looks and feels a bit too puny and insubstantial to me. I have 22mm Seikos too but I look down at my 21mm ones when they're on, especially the Hydroconquest bracelet, and think 'that just looks totally right'. It's funny what a difference 1 or 2mm can make. Can't imagine why it's only the even number sizes that are more common and 'standard'. Straps aren't hard to find, either. Not when there's eBay.
Basically, strength and resistance to scratches. Mineral is a strong, standard-ish glass. Sapphire is an artificially grown sapphire. The average collection of watches a person has - if they own more that a couple watches - usually has an example of both...just by pure chance. And if you're aware of that situation existing in your collection, more likely than not, you're going to notice the superiority of sapphire over mineral. It's often very obvious: you'll have a big scratch or whatever combination of shallow/deep and short/long scratches on a mineral crystal but a sapphire you've used just as long may not have a mark on it at all. I personally think that - other than being significantly less expensive - there's no point to mineral crystals. The far more meaningful choice is between sapphire and acrylic....Acrylic is much more fragile and picks up scratches easier however you can polish it with some pretty hardcore polishes like Simichrome or Pikal, and polishing cloths (like Cape Cod or Sunshine) and it will appear to develop a subtle, very natural glow when it’s in light. Especially sunlight. How they differ can be seen in window glass: modern glass will be crisp and let a lot of untouched light through as opposed to leaded windows in older homes which will sometimes have pronounced ripples and other flaws that scatter more light, which can make a room feel more “warm” or “less crisp. Acrylic is generally best to avoid in “working/professional” watches like diver’s or pilot’s watches but it’s fairly common in vintage dress and casual watches and when well maintained can make a well designed dial look amazing. Also, acrylic crystals tend to be domed and thus can focus light in different ways, adding to the glowing effect. Sapphire crystals are mostly flat and don’t do that. And if you’re diving, you don’t want a crystal playing games with the dial you’re trying to read. This all reminds me: I can’t be the only person the boredom of this covid isolation crap is turning into a verbose monster (or making sound like a possible serial killer) when posting on the internet…
Very good watch review. I like orient watches and i am interested in buying this but the music in the beginning is really depressing sounds like somebody is dying.
Could you tell us what is the exact model name of this watch? I really like this specific version but I can’t find it online anywhere. I tried googling the model number printed on the watch's back as shown in the video, but it didn’t get me anywhere.
Disagree on the case back. I've had mine for years now, and there's nary a scratch on it. Your friend might simply have repeatedly been setting the watch down and/or sliding it on rough (desktop or other) surfaces. A nice watch for sure. Always strikes me as the perfect poor man's 50s Omega.
What exactly is the model in the video? That is, what is the reference to buy the same watch? In addition, you can also know the brand or the link where to buy the strap you put on? Thank you
Matt Stevens: I just bought an Orient Bambino and I notice that it does run fast, it will gain about 6 minutes during the day, sucks I thought these had really great movements.
I have bought a Shanghai Diamond 38 mechanical watch with a beautiful dial and a domed Acrylic Chrystal. Hand wind and very accurate. £45. I had a v4 Bambino with a domed mineral crystal. I never dared wear it for fear of scratching it. Sold it and wouldn't buy another.
I just purchased a orient bambino 2nd generation version 1 watch which i have not yet received and would like to know if this being a 2018 mod would have a signed crown , is there anyone who cam answer this question.
please tell me, does the date change exactly at midnight instantly or within a few hours? And how loud is the self-winding rotor audible? Also, is there a protection against spring re-winding? Is the rotor bi-directional or unidirectional? Are they anti-magnetic or not?
Not instant. Within a few hours. Rotor is a little loud. You can hear it sometimes. Yes, you can't overwind it, there is a protection mechanism which is mentioned in the manual.
The best Bambino version in my opinion. Such a great looking timepiece. Really just wish Orient didn’t plaster “Water Resistant” on their dress watches. It’s not only aesthetically unappealing but it’s unnecessary. If you’re gonna put anything at the 6 o’clock position of the dial just put that awesome cursive “Automatic”
Mechanical watch
@@christosnsk It's automatic
The gen 2 version 2 is my favourite with the roman numerals.
That's why I prefer the "maestro" line, they don't have that useless writing
My favorite are the Japanese watches that - in the interest of keeping the dial visually balanced, just say "Water Resist"
It's such a cliché, but seriously folks, if the phrase "much nicer than it looks in pictures" can be applied to any watch, it's the Orient Bambino (all versions). Trust me on this: I now have 3 of them!
Jeffrey KRUPA The Polaris GMT really looks better in person as well. Video and pics really misses the polished accents.
I'm so desperate for a G2 V3 Bambino but just can't find one for a price I'm willing to pay.

As many as three xD ugh I've got to get one of these.
I have 2 of them. 3rd Generation and I Filly agree with you.

The Bambino is stunning for the price.
thanks for the comment mate, I appreciate when people look at things in a deeper way, I will buy this watch based on your info.
I have one on the way maybe il end up with them all lol 😆
I have this watch. Very nice, won't get a lot of wear. It's for those rare occasions when I'm trying to impress. My everyday is a Seiko 5 field watch.
This is what men’s watches looked like when I was young.
I have one as a dress watch. I love it. It's perfectly made, it's very accurate and cost £100. I don't mind the stock strap either. It's pretty comfy and looks nive

that domed crystal..
A pain in the ass in relations to scratches, you will pay the aesthetics.
This with 39mm diameter and 20mm lugs with power reserve dial instead of date and mechanical wind hacking movement would be the ultimate watch
Wish granted!
I have the Bambino gen 2. I love the look of the factory strap on mine. Beautiful watch....Nice review!
Very nice watch. I am still thinking about getting my first Bambino. I have always been a diver and gmt kinda of guy but I am slowly getting attracted to this watch. Great review and great info. Thanks.

Like the seiko Skx everyone should have a bambino
Yes if want to and need one.
orient is owned by seiko company so u r the loser
NO, epson bought some social capital trying to control more the orient factory. Just strategies, Iam sure orient are bothering seiko, so they try to join them or integrate them in their holding. Orient still an independent factory.
Seiko Epson Corporation meaning they are under seiko as the parent company is Seiko group
The Mako II is superior to the SKX... The truth hurts. I know.
Please never stop making watch videos! My pocketbook hates you, but I prefer your simple style over most other channels. I'm buying this watch now, haha.

I would buy
I have recently started to collect watches and have several Citizens and Seikos. And I definitely want this watch, I really like the design!
Wow we have similar tastes.....lol I've got the Bambino 2. Bought it for $112 and it's brilliant...the dial in particular. Put it on a Hirsh croc, perfect dress watch (I hate dress watches usually)...also, the rotor is very noisy.
Awesome, and thanks for the suggestion. The croc texture does look great, just need a nicer one than the oem strap
Among all Bambino review videos, this one has the best intro, just one word: Class.
I recently purchased a Generation 3 Bambino, great value for money, beautiful looking watch. My only criticism is the strap but as you suggested this is a easy fix.
You do nice work Mr. Williams. I echo your thoughts on the crystal and the lug width. This is a great watch for the money.

Welcome! I'm glad your finding some satisfaction and good value. Orient seems to be a very well kept horological secret.
I really enjoy the aesthetic of the Bambino but I wish they made it with no logos or lettering at all on the face. It would look so elegant.
I've had my Bambino for years. Not a single scratch on the crystal or the case back. And I use it as my main watch....
Jarl Ballin' All I can think is that the watch in the video must have gone through some tough wear. NONE of my dress watches (including my 3 Bambinos) look like that!
Yep, he is rough wearer somehow.
I have 2 bambinos, I cycle them through with other watches and they have quite a bit of wear. I am a rough user however, and put my watches through a bit of abuse
I'm so in love with open heart version 😍
Is there a higher level watch ( Swiss maybe ) that looks as awesome as this ? This watch in person looks awesome !! It’s very difficult to appreciate it in video or pictures , but it’s awesome
The machine in this watch is superb! Top quality! After a little adjustment, it's running like a quartz watch! Very very accurate!
Do you need a winder for this watch?
No. Just wear it. It winds itself from arm movements. Automatic watch.
The version 4 has 22mm lug but the over all case size is also increased to 42mm instead of 40.5mm. For your wrist size not an issue but smaller wrists under 6.5 inches may be.

Nice intro with the carnatic music.Great watch and great review.
I would prefer domed crystal of smaller proportions. This one is a little over the top in regards to thickness and way too pronounced, to the point that it's almost distracting.
looks amazing, I wish there was 38 or even 36mm versions.. :(
Do what I did, buy the ladies version. It's 36mm.
looks great, by the way, your replacement strap is 21mm or 20mm? cause I've seen some space. thanks
Bruce I took a larger step and went with the Orient Star Classic over the Bambino as my first Orient. Can you do a review of the Star Classic?
If I can get one in, I definitely will. They look awesome
Is that the GLA Soundtrack from Command & Conquer? :D
No.... It is "Little Planet" from bensound..
ruclips.net/video/A6vo66aBzcY/видео.html
I like how it looks but the watch is way too huge for the style they are going for in my opion.
Wish I'd got a baton markered version like yours. It's much more Dean Martin / Frank Sinatra than mine.
21mm is the lug width I've ended up liking the best. My Longines Hydroconquest and ivory / rose gold / roman numeral Bambino have 21mm. 20mm looks and feels a bit too puny and insubstantial to me. I have 22mm Seikos too but I look down at my 21mm ones when they're on, especially the Hydroconquest bracelet, and think 'that just looks totally right'. It's funny what a difference 1 or 2mm can make. Can't imagine why it's only the even number sizes that are more common and 'standard'. Straps aren't hard to find, either. Not when there's eBay.
Beautiful watch, thankyou for share your video! One question... Where you buy the strap?
I pressed a 22mm soft leather strap and it works! Just press a little :)
Excellent, concise review. No nonsense and right on point. With pleasure, I subscribe to your fine channel. Thank you.
What's the difference between mineral and sapphire crystal ???
Tell me ,,, do tell me
Basically, strength and resistance to scratches. Mineral is a strong, standard-ish glass. Sapphire is an artificially grown sapphire. The average collection of watches a person has - if they own more that a couple watches - usually has an example of both...just by pure chance.
And if you're aware of that situation existing in your collection, more likely than not, you're going to notice the superiority of sapphire over mineral.

Excellent photography sir!
Thank you!
21mm strap is clearly too wide. i matched it with a 20mm one, the entire watch looked smaller on wrist and became more dressy.
My used Orient tristar has a nice acrylic dome. Scratches practically wipe off.
Great review. Will it suitable as daily watch in business casual environment?
Very good watch review. I like orient watches and i am interested in buying this but the music in the beginning is really depressing sounds like somebody is dying.
I'll predict once I get this I'll wear it far more often than for dress.
Could you tell us what is the exact model name of this watch? I really like this specific version but I can’t find it online anywhere. I tried googling the model number printed on the watch's back as shown in the video, but it didn’t get me anywhere.

How accurate is the timing?
Great looking watch, needs a smaller size though. 38 at least.

Orient Watch is the best
It's okay. I kinda like them. But every Orient I owned was running very fast after two years.

I have bought a Shanghai Diamond 38 mechanical watch with a beautiful dial and a domed Acrylic Chrystal.

I never dared wear it for fear of scratching it. Sold it and wouldn't buy another.
Great production!
Hi Sir! May I know where did you buy your strap? If it’s on-line, what’s the website? Thanks!
The V3 has 21mm lugs.
My version 4 has 22mm and the strap is not shiny like yours so it's ok
This is gen 2 version 2 and there is only gen 2 with 4 versions. There isn't a gen 3 or gen 4 yet.
genuine leather is not a grade of leather
I just purchased a orient bambino 2nd generation version 1 watch which i have not yet received and would like to know if this being a 2018 mod would have a signed crown , is there anyone who cam answer this question.
This is very good review of the bambino unlike the urban gentry
you did put one inside a steel case???
HEG. Every site I check lists genuine leather as a grade. Do you have more information?
I have the version 4 with a blue dial and it has a 22mm lug width.
Good to know they changed it

If Orient made the bambino in 38mm I would buy it right now.

this watch plays small..........great dress watch. fits under sleeve with no problems................comments that its too big are nonsence

hey, what kind of leather strap do you use? it looks great with the bambino

One question: Did you put it on a 21 mm aftermarket strap or 20? cause I've always heard you are able to pull it off with a 20mmpretty well.
mario siaven yeah I put it on a 20. It was good but there was a small gap
The Great Bambino.
Negative points: 1. The fucking ugly frame line around the date window. 2. Water resistent text. 3. 19 mm strap
please tell me, does the date change exactly at midnight instantly or within a few hours? And how loud is the self-winding rotor audible? Also, is there a protection against spring re-winding? Is the rotor bi-directional or unidirectional? Are they anti-magnetic or not?
Not instant. Within a few hours. Rotor is a little loud. You can hear it sometimes. Yes, you can't overwind it, there is a protection mechanism which is mentioned in the manual.
