My wife just gifted me a cream bambino 38 - it's so cool, I have to say. She did her homework to find an awesome-looking timepiece with credibility and no pretense. Value beyond price! Gotta Love it!

By far the best value for money dress watch I've ever come across. My first automatic was a bambino. They are the perfect watch to get people in to mechanical watches. I have nothing but appreciation for Orient moving in this direction.

I actually bought the older one recently in cream! I prefer the thinner case size. I looked everywhere for a nice dress watch and nothing really caught my eye like this Bambino, and at $130, it felt like a purchase that had little to no financial pressure. It's unique in its value proposition, it is truly very well finished and beautifully made, I have watches costing multiples of the price not matching up to the finishing of this one. I actually really enjoy the leather strap after the breaking in period, it just floats on the wrist comfortably.

Had mine for about a week now and I absolutely love it with the cream dial and blue hands. Amazing value for the price. I get more compliments with this on my wrist than pretty much anything else in my collection.

I received today my new 38 mm cream dial, I was not sure if open the box and then check your video or viceversa. I've seen the video with my new Orient on the wrist and you just confirmed all my feelings. Still incredible value for the price. Love it.

I'm genuinely shocked it hasn't been made in 38mm or smaller about 5+ years ago. It is the perfect design for that size and the larger case made no sense to me.

It's refreshing to see that Orient offer some very beautiful watches for a more affordable price.
As a mere security guard on a modest paycheck I can afford one of these Orient watches.

The new bambino has amazing retro style, I really like it.

I bought silver dial few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. It checks all boxes

Got it yesterday, even better looking in person was doubting between this and a cocktail time no regrets so far!

It's a very soulful piece, no matter what other watches you have, this one holds it's place. A wonderfully simple and nice watch.

I have 3 Orient Bambino watches. I get more compliments than other brands I have. It’s an underrated watch, but it’s better looking and more traditional than other brands.
Plain, Simple, Classic!
You get a lot for your buck!

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on AMZWATCH 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

I love almost everything about the newer 38mm Bambino, but I just love my Gen II Bambino because of its Roman Numeral hour markers, which I prefer vastly over almost any other style of hour marker. If they were to release the 38mm with Roman Numeral hour markers, I would consider buying one

[WendyNufio]

Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.

For a 38mm dress watch, it's still the value leader. Most dress watches in the price range are either 40-41mm with most Seiko Presage models, too petite in most cases with a manual wind Timex Marlin, some Ali Express watches (and even then they're mostly too big for a dress watch), or a hit-or-miss vintage non-luxury brand piece. The nearest 38mm dress watch offerings are some of Seiko's newer cocktail times (although tbh the recent ones look too ostentatious with their dial design), and the SRPD97/99 at double the price. For a traditional, no-nonsense, currently manufactured dress watch for under 300 USD, that 38mm Bambino is indeed still king.

I have the 36mm version (the version with the gold case) as it comes even closer to the "classic" dress watch size, especially on my 6.5 inch wrist. I think the 38mm version is a really good release as well.

I love my Bambino. Great movement/quality, and I still get asked about it when worn. Thanks for all the background on the brand. Great video!

[kleinster]

Just received the cream 38 and love it. The strap was a bit stiff at first but it broke in within minutes of wearing and adjusting. Still going to get a couple of other straps for color variations but for the money this watch is a stunner. Teddy nailed this one.

I’m looking at this watch as my first ever watch purchase
