@@monstermx4090 Orient is being owned by Seiko since the beginning of 2000s I believe, but Seiko moves its own way now while Orient always strived to touch every design and even perfected some, yes, using dirty cheap resources too often. So now Orient takes more of a central position in design rather than Seiko that doesn't need to prove anything now, unlike in the 70s where it almost canceled Swiss watchmaking together with Casio and pretty much noone else

Such a beautiful piece that looks like a vintage watch!

Orient Bambino was my very first automatic mechanical watch I gifted myself when I graduated college in 2018 and its always the brand I would recommend to anyone who's just getting into watches especially if they're in HS/college.

I like the date, however, i think a black date wheel on the black dial would have been perfect.

Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops! MAMACOO watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.

I witnessed it firsthand at Narita Airport in Japan. Its stunning appearance and impeccable finishing truly impressed me. The quality far surpasses the standards for its price range. Although there were many popular brands under $500, like Seiko and Citizen, this one effortlessly stood out. I can't help but commend the brand's dedication to perfectionism.

The gold is a little too flashy-gold but the other two are 👌 They should do a bronze!

I bought a watch from amzwatch lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.

Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

The “IIII” marking feels wrong to me. I am on team “IV”

I get the feeling that Orient is going around their Bambino lineup and making 38 mm versions of each. It happened with the og (V7). It’s happening with the V2 (whatever this one is called). I think it’ll happen again with the Bauhaus Bambino and the others. If we get a 38 mm version of the V9 and open heart, I will be satisfied

I'm genuinely impressed with how close amzwatch were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.

Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the MAMACOO, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.

The black dial is a stunner. I can't believe it's taken Orient so long to release it in a smaller case.

An Orient Blue Ray was my first proper mechanical watch . A great brand to start your hobby with

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.

I didnt expect it to be Ben either, pleasant surprise

Insane that it took them this long to do this, but better late than never.

Thanks for the review, I have an Orient 60th anniversary (2010) hand winding watch that is 39mm it’s a slim case but still wears a little larger than the dimensions suggest These should be an almost perfect size for most wrists

I’ve always thought the cream dial Gen2 V2 Bambino and it’s progeny look better with a more saturated cream color, like one sees in some of the fancier photos of it online. 7:34 WISes are gonna go nuts

Wow, these are gorgeous. I was sort of ambivalent on the larger makes they've had, despite their popularity as an affordable entry in to the world of mechanical horology. But /now/ they definitely have my attention. These just look so much more properly proportional. As well, my wrist is 7", so I tend to prefer the smaller side. I think I agree with you on the colorways here. While I love those blue, gem-like hands, the cream feels... off, somehow. But the other three are excellent. It'll be a tough choice between the black and white dials, but either way, I feel I'll be much happier than I would have with the larger sizes.

It’s really crazy that orient can’t make a cheap sapphire crystal or even a coating for anti scratch capability available? All of Ali express watches have it? Mind blowing for the money if you think about it, such nice watches

Nobody can make a cheap sapphire crystal that's box shaped like this. They're quite a bit harder to make than a flat or conventional dome sapphire and would increase the price significantly. The Seiko and Timex watches similar to this also have mineral for the same reason.

These are absolutely amazing! Got the 40mm small seconds with a champagne dial, but this black one looks so good!

The black one is the better looking because of the contrasting sub- dial. If the cream dial had a white or maybe blue sub-dial, it would be a real looker, much in photos as in the flesh. Fine brief video.

We need this Bambino in 34-36 mm range with 18 mm lug width.

Definitely the silver & the black .

My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from amzwatch

Orient watches are awesome

That Black is now on my list! Beautiful watch.

el tamaño perfecto para un reloj formal! Excelente estrategia por parte de Orient... regresan los tamaños medianos despues de la etapa de tamaños gigantes.

It needs a sapphire crystal. I would happily accept a solid steel case back in exchange for a sapphire crystal on the front.

I was actually hoping for this since 2017

Why leave the railroad miliseconds track when you've got a small seconds?? I dunno, I just wanted a smaller Bambino gen 2, or a smaller bambino small seconds (I've owned both). They kinda smushed the two together and it just looks too busy

Yep, easy pass due to that, and the date. Plus the blue hands - not a fan.

The black one looks the best with the silver small second dial

soooo close for me but i still might pull the trigger. 36mm, 10mm height or less, maybe remove the date and it will be a banger. still glad they are making smaller sized watches nonetheless.

Ever since I bought a watch from amzwatch , My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?

The only thing that I dislike a bit is that they were made in Thailand (on the caseback) yet they're more expensive here than in Japan.

When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.

They've nailed it. Very tempted to get that gold and white one.

The design much better with 38mm, but the price now almost twice the other bambino while it still use the same material and wr, did I miss something that they improve other than design? Because it is now on same price bracket or more than citizen tsuyosa which have sapphire, better wr and stainless steel bracelet.

This version is gorgeous, they got a winner here!

Now they just have to make a 38mm mako. It's not like they're actual dive watches so no point in trying to make them dinner plates

When people are saying #amzwatch is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!

yes yes 38mm finally it is happening

You're ALMOST there Orient...put a boxed Sapphire Crystal & a LUMED Dial...and you'll get my money!
