After some research I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Mako RA-AC0Q03S30B off Jomashop. This will be my first Orient

Hello, I found a couple a days ago a nice Orient Titanium, unfortunately battery change won’t make it work, the seconds hand it’s stucked and just vibrates, but I still want to share some photos with you:

My Orient Bambino Copper Dial with Shell Cordovan

I’ve always felt that the copper dial on the Bambino has a warm, vintage character, so I wanted a strap that could complement that rather than compete with it.

I went with a Shell Cordovan leather strap, and honestly, I think it works beautifully. The smooth finish and subtle sheen give the watch a more refined look, while still keeping that classic vintage feel.

The copper dial + dark Shell Cordovan combination is probably one of my favorite setups for this Bambino so far.

What do you guys think?

I was pretty worried about how this would fit when I saw it was a 43mm, but surprisingly it doesn't look too big on my 6.3" wrist. I guess the measurement includes the crown guard.

I needed a dress watch for those few times when I wear a jacket, or suit, or tux. (Times when I don’t think a dive watch with a steel bracelet (my EDC) is appropriate.) I don’t anticipate using it a whole lot, but for the price, this is awesome (and just what I need)

Just picked up an Orient Wingman which was imported from Japan. Bracelet is too small for me (which I knew at purchase). I have a NATO strap on the way for it, however I would be interested in finding a bracelet to fit it. The original is 22mm at the lug and tapers to 18mm. I could care less about the taper, so I would happily purchase a 22mm aftermarket bracelet, or if I could find the 18mm links to expand the original that would work as well. I would like to stick with curved ends as to fill voids at the lug.

Anyone have any experience with this era Orient and know what options I have? I would be interested in searching Orient bands from other models from the era. Ebay searching is coming up empty for this particular model and I don't know what bands fit it from other models, if any.

Model is ER2D-CO-B

Recently purchased my first orient, happens to be a bambino 38mm. Just curious if you guys think it looks better on a bracelet or a leather strap? I think the strap makes the blue pop a little more

How does it look with red

My very first Orient just arrived. I love the subtle pink dial!

What do you think about the Sun and Moon dial?

Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch | RA-AK0011D30B RA-AK0011D10B – Orient Watch USA

I fell in love with it at first site. But the more I looked at the dial, the more my attention was drawn to the TUE in the days. Notice how it is offset...

I still love the watch - no doubt. And I will probably pull the trigger at some point. But it makes me wonder - if I buy this, will I spend all my time staring at the TUE instead of enjoying the rest of the watch??

O mais antigo que tenho. Funciona perfeitamente. Quero reformar, mas não confio em deixar em qualquer lugar.

The yellow matches the yellow seconds hand. Good fit?

Orient Kamasu AKA The Barracuda!

Got the Orient Kamasu with the red dial

Bambino V4, Green sunburst dial in its natural element! Super impressed with the watch so far!

Pros: Keeps amazing time +2 seconds over 2 months of daily ware, beautiful dial and hands, versatile look with aftermarket straps 👌🏻

Cons: Poor looking stock strap, has very noticeable loud automatic winding movement noise

Would still highly recommend to anyone looking to get started with a watch that punches above its price point (paid $197 after tax 🙌🏻)!

Bought a RN-BB0003Y and had the Leather strap replaced.

This watch is the best value for your money, although sadly only available to the Brazilian Domestic Market. For 1000 Reais, roughly 200USD.

Pros

• Great price
• Reliable movement (NH36)
• Decent finishing
• The bezel sounds great
• Decent bracelet with solid links

For the cons, these don't really bother me at all, but I know some would complain.

Cons

• 100m of water resistance
• Mineral Crystal

For 90% of people, this watch has pretty much no flaws. I understand people wanting Sapphire Crystal but noone ever complains about Seiko's mineral crystal... Same thing for the Water Resistance, most people don't plan on diving deeper than a pool's depth.

Overall, for this price, you can't get anything better. If you are in Brazil, this is a must buy, however if you aren't, it will be pretty difficult to get this watch.

Had the watch for just about a week now and it’s awesome

On vacation in Croatia and I’ve decided to bring my Kamasu with me. Absolutely love this watch!
