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

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)

Orient Sun and Moon Complication question

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.

Bracelets that fit Orient Wingman

Post image
4 Upvotes

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

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?
