I have this specific watch in stainless steel, it's my first watch. I'm a guy with slim wrists.
I love this watch, it's the perfect dress watch for me. I wore it for formal occasions. It fits nicely into my sleeves and doesn't protrude too much.
I'm a big Orient fan, and own four of them. Great quality and value. I'm not a fan of the open heart design, and find this watch a bit too thick. I'd also prefer an 18mm lug width. Honestly, with so many great Bambino models, if they reduced the diameter they'd have pure gold. Thanks for a great review!
The Bambino has been around for years at 36mm (I own two of them). And a 38mm version was just released as well.
Good lord that’s a stunner. I personally love open heart dials and the way they integrated the open heart into a dressy dial is as good as it gets here!
I don't often actively watch your channel but having it play in the background has always been entertaining, so I just thought I'd say thanks
I own this watch myself and I love it! Definitely one of my favorites. And you're right about the case sizes! Bigger is not always better! I personally love the way this watch looks on my wrist! :)
When I first got into watches I honestly felt 42/22 was the smallest I could go with my 7-7/8" (20 cm) wrist. Over time my preference has gone down and down. I now feel between 40/20 or 38/20 is the perfect size for me. Hell, I even have a vintage 33/18 Hamilton that I pull out on special occasions. Now I only have one oversized watch, a Seiko Arnie.
Girls watch!!!! I own the Orient Maestro green Dial!,100m,Sapphire ,display caseback on Mesh for a similiar price and ohhhh so classy and elegant!!! Boooooooom!
With a 6 1/4in wrist, I have always been a 40-42mm guy. Heck even 44-45mm has worked on my wrist(ie Casio). As long as the lug to lug fits within the range of your wrist width, virtually any case size up to that can work. In other words, wear what you want.
Couldn't agree more, I love my G-Shocks but also love to put on an old vintage 31mm dress watch every now and then, and I have a 7-inch wrist
Looks nice but the gold case looks cheap and chincy. Also the pseudo-Tourbillon cutout is also as lame as a real Tourbillon cutout. I do like the size though. Just picked up an old 34mm Hamilton Khaki Field Officer with an actual ETA movement. I have 7.25-7.5ish" wrists and it's not too small. Also , all the original Hamiltons and other mens watches were generally that size.
Have had this in silver for around a year now and it might be my favorite watch on wrist. It gets a lot less wear since its my dress watch than my field, diver, or casio digitals, but when it does get worn, it's the one I like the most.
Through the open heart cutout in the dial you can see the balance wheel, not the mainspring. In my opinion, a partial cutout in the dial would benefit the wearer more if it would be placed over a skeletonized mainspring instead of the balance wheel... It would serve as an indication of power reserve. The most liked partial dial gage I've built so far has a cutout revealing a slice of both.
Just got a Praesidus A-11 Origin, replica of a WWII issue, the original size version- 32mm. It looks and feels nice and compact, and purposeful, on my 6" wrist. Have also been wearing a 36mm Timex. I slipped on a 40mm watch today, and it felt and looked like a 'busy' dinner plate.
O'boy, Have to say, after that hair joke your tongue never recovered.
Top Notch Sir, much obliged for the presentation.
Agree on sizes of 36-38 mm and thin for under a cuff.
One thing I like about this Orient, is that they don’t use that 1970’s looking logo on the watch. Something about that, I just don’t like.
Many awesome brands are working 36's again and I'm loving it !!
Not yet 😢
I would absolutely wear that. I had always been a 40mm and up guy until I received my Dad's old beater quartz after he passed in 2014. It's a 36mm and after wearing it for a short time, I adjusted to the size and now I have no problem wearing smaller watches. I think it's more psychological than anything.
Glad you enjoy your Dad's old watch. 36mm is definitely not too small for men, unless you're a very small man. The 40+mm case is a modern phenomenon. Even with as many redundant complications that a modern mechanichal watch(Manual wind, auto or certified perpetual chronograph) may contain, a case has no reason to be larger than 44mm. I have a 34mm watch with a 4hrz 28k+ BPM automatic ETA movement that is incredibly thin and only occupies 35% of the case.
This is the first open heart I've actually liked.
Noooooo you are sharing the secrets now lol. I love that watches like these (and a many others) are genuinely more rewarding to find and own than equivalent mainstream or Swiss watch brands at 5 or 10 X the price haha
I don't mind the open heart, I actually love it. It is perfect, save for one caveat: no "Lions" logo.
That is why I am buying my wife the rose-gold 36mm Bambino for her birthday and our 15 year anniversary.
This would have been even nicer, but the logo missing is the deal-breaker.
Still awesome, still best bang for the buck though.
If there is a non open heart version im all in.
I have an orient baby bambino (RA-AC0011S10A). 36mm case with a date function and has a beautiful champagne dial with domed crystal.
@@mattroberts5283 this might be a hot take but I absolutely can't stand the hands on that watch. I much much much prefer calatrava style thicker dauphine hands. Some of the bambinos do have those type of hands tho, and I love them for it
Have to add my 2 cents and agree with Adithya Jayaram. I like open heart also. It's easier to see than a display back, and I just love watching those little gears and flywheels doing their jobs.
Literally any other bambino lol
What a nice find. It's nice looking. The only kind of watch I don't have is a dress watch. 36mm is a good size for my slim wrist. The best part it is affordable. I only wear it for funerals and weddings so I don't want to invest much in an expensive watch I wear 1 or 2 times a year.
I completely agree with you what kind of animal would wear a +42mm
I own a Orient Esteem II in black it's the best purchase I ever made besides my G-shock. I wear it whenever I have a more formal occasion to attend similar look and feel to the Stela but a little more simplistic less vintage.
Gato really panned in on Jory when he said "small." Hahah great editing.
I love how it looks. For me the open heart is not really a problem. I kinda like it to be honest on a dressy watch like this. A definitely will buy.
The vibe is just not appealing to me. I own the Orient Contemporary Automatic/ Hand-Wind Black Dial Men's Watch AL00005B0. 42mm....It is a perfect size for my 7.25" wrist. It is hard to find now but I just love it. I upgraded it with a flat sapphire and could not be happier. It has the date at 3 spot and a day of the week sub-dial at 10 spot. I get more compliments with this dress watch than any of my watches. I'm almost 60 and have a few watches from back in the day and they seem so tiny now but are classy in their own right. Keep up the well-thoufht out material and hilarious delivery Jory. Udabest.
I have an Orient AG03 open heart (AKA "Golden Eye"). It has a 38-39 mm diameter, it might be something to check out if you think 36 mm is to small and 40+ mm is to large. It comes with either a black, blue or silverish dial.
I think for the classy ladies the 34mm would be much more dainty and elegant ...but for modern women they like to wear the larger dials. Personally I am of the former but i still love this watch so much, it just needs to be smaller
You may be biased Jory, but you’re right. We see a watch 39mm diameter (46mm LtL) or less, and we see it is good. That’s the truth!
I have some 31mm women’s watches that I’m comfortable wearing on my 7-inch wrist. I can wear 42mm watches comfortably (usually) but the little watches don’t look too weird despite the arguable transvestism, and they’re even more comfortable.
I recently got an orient symphony 4 and I love it, its 41.6mm
How do you open back if you need to adjust?
Dude finally a video on this watch. Thank you
I thought the biggest con would be the 17mm lug width... The open heart would have been my second pick though.
Love it already, the open heart sounds like good choice when come to dress up perfect for any occasion in my opinion, looks great on you, I can see Connie wearing this one,,definitely looking to purchase one for my wife and one for me.... seriously I Can see my self saving some money, thank you again for reviewing this incredible piece..until next time.👍👍.
What do you think about Orient RA-AC0010S ? This is a 36mm watch.
i just ordered it for my father with your code. Let's hope he likes it as much i did through your review!
What is the code?
I agree! Sub-40mm!!
Love the value in Orient! Wearing my 2 mth old Mako II more than my oyster perpetual
Thanks for causing my impulse buy for the night!
Oh God, no! NO! NOOOO!!!
My last 3 watches have all been 36mm, this looks great and I’m keen to have a look at one
Can't find the Stela for sale anywhere. You get an error message on the Orient site. :(
Gotta get this one for my Wife!
I can’t find this watch anywhere 😮 help!
Looks like the perfect diameter but the thickness looks quite big. Also, definitely would prefer no open heart, just not for me!
im considering the open heart Envoy
Haha, I just ordered the plain steel version of this model two days ago, eagerly waiting for it to arrive
Man I love this channel
36mm is cool, open heart mmm, not to sure, but my real con is the gilt finish. I would prefer polished stainless steel.
You should review the orient RA-AC0011S10A. Similar watch but without the open heart.
Doesn't have the Roman Numeral...the vibe is different.
I have an 8 inch wrist and have 3 - 34 mm watches ,1- Hamilton 1 Rolex OP and 1-gruen precision .
hi unrelated question, but do you know which is the best Gshock for lap counting, eg in swimming, running etc
Ya missed one major con, Jory: 17mm lugs!!
Hey I was just wondering if you'll ever fix the framerate on your camera, cheers
The Bamboo 38mm is due out soon. Can't wait!
I have never been a fan of open heart watches, and 12.5 mm seems just a bit thick for a 36 mm watch. I have to say the Bambino still has no competition in the Orient lineup. Having said that, when I need a stylish dress watch, I go for my 1959 vintage Omega Seamaster. It was my Dad's and is an original version of what all the modern homage dress watches are shooting for,
Would be even better if they made it thinner! The detail with the wavey lines on the dial looks great too
where can I get it? in Mexico
the ruby the balance sits in is offcenter of the open heart cutout. I hate that so much. Otherwise it's a really nice watch
how loud is the rotor? the last orient dress I owned, the rotor was too loud and loose for me to keep. I'm not usually too picky about the kind of thing but noticed a couple of orient movements to have that issue.
the new 38mm came out, make a video sir!
Just went to orient website and the stella is out of stock. ☹️
That’s is nice but I’d still prefer the bambino.. very nice though
I can understand some of the pushback on larger watches, but I have an 8.25" wrist, so a 36mm looks like a kid's watch on me. Typical size in my collection is 40-42.
Same wrist size here. I have a 39.7 ( DJ41 ) and it’s as small as I feel I can go. I have a 40 Tudor, two 41 Tudors, had a 43 Omega, a 44 Fleiger, and just got a 46.2 IWC a couple weeks ago. They all work. Anything smaller than the date just (vintage 36 and 34) look like buttons on my wrist.
Orient has a 36mm bambino if interested in a 36mm dress watch without the open heart design
I'm over the watch size conversion. Everyone has a different wrist size and each wrist has a watch size that looks best which also depends on the watch style. And then there's personal taste. I prefer smaller but my wife prefers my larger watches.
Why do people hate on open heart watches?
The phone too big for my hands/pockets crowd is also very vocal and very tight on their money so companies that listen to them generally fail. I imagine that is the same crowd for watches which is why Rolex ignores the request (just like Samsung does).
I already knew this model exists. It's cool, but I genuinely prefer the Bambinos in 36mm or the newer models in 38. I simply don't like the roman numerals at 12 and 6 and I don't like the sides of the case for this particular style of watch - I prefer the style of the Bambinos with thinner sides and the domed crystal. BUT still, it's a great watch and looks are always subjective. Quality-wise, they are probably the same as the Bambinos.
Hey TT. As a fellow cat lover. I'd love to see a video from you about the leather industry. I recently learned that with China being the world's biggest producer of leather, there's a huge amount of leather that's actually cats and dogs. Of course none of it is marked that way because almost no one in the west would knowingly buy it. And there's an estimated 2 million cats and dogs that are raised just for their skin since it's so profitable. And it's pretty much the most horrific industry on the planet. I don't even recommend you look at any of the videos because it's just ... I don't even know what word can describe it. Maybe just read the info and avoid the photos etc. I can't look at that stuff anymore. Anyways. I thought it would be good if someone with a big audience spoke about it. Thanks for the great content. You always make me laugh.
Sold out...
Not a fan of open-heart watches in general, and I find this model too thick and chunky for its diameter. The Orient "Tristar" Deneb (39mm) and Altair (39.5mm) are, in my mind, the most underrated Orient dress watches.
@なんばR fixed it
We share the same bias and, oh boy, does this Orient wipe the floor with the bambino. 36mm ftw!
Additional cons: mineral glass and that odd 17mm lug width (doesn't bother me on my Oris BCPD though...).
I agree. It's a stunner!
Disagree. I'll place my Bambino 2 gen 2 white dial, blue hands against this any day.
Not my speed but I'm sitting here with a Frogman on.
Nice watch but to small for me 👍👍
Awesome presentation and energy - always the highlight of these reviews. The watch though? Meh...
Remind me of Marlon Brandon
I completely agree, thank you, about the smaller lug size. A lot of "Ladies" watches are usually just pieces of jewelry that happen to tell time, if you can see the hands.
Having a open heart automatically disqualifies this watch for me.
Jory, nice watch indeed. I'd personally like it a tad more without the open heart.
Yeah, the open heart is not for me. It could have been so much more elegant without it. But kudos to the 36 mm size.
Another pro, their logo is not on the dial. To me thats a huge pro
Might use the code. Not for this watch however. I feel open heart at this level is not the way to go. There is nothing really to be admired inside. Going for completely different style. Kamasu!!!
Isn’t it too thick for a dress watch?
It looks nice, but the mineral crystal is a dealbreaker.
36mm is a great size... Ehhem... 36mm Rolex Explorer...
Why does Orient insist on these odd lug sizes? Ugh
i heard/seen it )
The only con for me is that the movement is the only in-house part of the piece. I guess that's why it's so cheap.
Yeah, a non open heart would be great
Being paid by Orient is probably also a reason to be biased.
Very nice, but…open heart
Orient bambino is better!
Orient watches lack accuracy,way off, in the looks department 10 out of 10 for the money
Wwway too small for a man. But you’re right; subjective. It’s pretty but it appears it’s stolen from the wife.
Puny watch on big wrist = LAME
😴 քʀօʍօֆʍ
Orient watches lack accuracy,way off
Line up your beard bro… out here lookin like a caveman. (Not hating btw)
