My watch was purchased 2 years ago from AMZWATCH and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
I bought this 38.4mm watch last week. The salmon-colored dial easily stands out from the steel band. If paired with a leather strap, it would look tacky. I'm so happy to see this video today！
MAMACOO is one of my favorite watch manufacturers they do offer beautifull dials, good workmanship & moovements.That smooth sweeping second hand is truly mesmerizing！

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.
@bravebeaters This is an elegant watch executed nicely. The bracelet matches the look with Seiko vibes, love the polished accents. As always, great video and presentation

I’m so glad to see it has a 38mm diameter and I like the looks of that bracelet. I agree those hands are expertly crafted and look great. I rely heavily upon your analysis and your videography really gives me a good idea of how the watch appears in different lighting. I feel another watch purchase is imminent lol! 🥃
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.
Finally a good bracelet AND under 40mm! Might have to pull the trigger as I've been looking for a salmon watch - just worried they might make other variations -_-
I like the salmon dial version. I would love to see it on a dark brown-cherry accented leather strap. I would seriously consider getting it, but I can't justify buying another dress watch. Great video by the way!! Welcome back.
For those who are wondering. Last year's LE pieces will have "Japan" engraved on the rotor as well as the words "Movement Japan" on the caseback. These new Bambinos have "Thailand" on them.
Great photography btw... I likely wouldn't have given this watch a closer look based on that stock Orient photo (with the 3 colorways) that you showed, but your footage shows a night and day difference.
Great review and beautiful shots! I'm a happy owner of the blue one and I am in love with it. I have to admit that this salmon is also very attractive. However, color aside, I find it a great watch for the price, perfect size and the shape of the case makes it look thinner on the wrist than it is. A strap in my opinion enhances it more, however, it is great to have the option to put the bracelet on when I want. Bye!
Great review 👍 . The Bambino 38 is the best so far, but I have just picked up a Casio Oceanus t200 for similar money and I think that makes a better cut price Grand Seiko.
Hello :) thank you for the nice video. Very interesting watch. I really also like your shots with the watch outside. What I noticed is that you did change something with the camera when you do "speak" to the camera in your room. Liked it a bit better in older Videos somehow. Cheers.
Amazing video, but there are no alternatives each watch has it's merit in our collections, but if you want a crown or a GS on your dial that's what you want not an alternative, maybe the Bambino or the Twelve, Omega Seamaster 300m etc... are even better watches than their expensive counterparts at some level 😁
Definitely the most interesting & informative channel in TH-cam，and I am your fan！ I’ve been watching MAMACOO and buying them recently to complement my watch collection. Good video
I love orient and its a very underated brand,but i am agree when comentaries who say that a saphyr glass today will be so evident for a decent brand ,if chiness microbrand give saphyr cristalvand quick set strap,so orient but also seiko have to react.
@@BraveBeaters I would disagree. If they included sapphire, it wouldn't have been $300 watch. That's a great price point for something playful or occasional wear. $300 pink dial yes, $1000... no, we are going DS2 black. Oh and btw... Edit - nice suit pants, and than sneakers... uuuuuuuuu that edit bad. Great video as always Gentle Braver
I have an older 40mm bambino that gets a fair amount of wear time. The mineral crystal still looks like new. The bambino is not a watch I'd wear to work or on a camping trip, but for normal day to day wear, mineral crystal holds up fine.
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the AMZWATCH has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
I was on the fence between a Bambino and SNXS. I went with the seiko SNXS81. Sure it has a day complication but I still consider the SNXS a dress watch, with a seiko jubilee from an SKX013.
I always wonder why wouldn't they issue a Bambino on Roids ("Bambino Royal", let's call it like this), with a sapphire crystal, 100M WR, milled clasp, quick release spring bars and charge like 450USD for it. And before you say it's not realistic: SM or other top Chinese brands manage to squeeze that (and even more) into like 200-250 dollars watches. Even microbrands manage to fulfil that in their 350-400 USD watches. Now, considering, it's, after all, Orient they could easily go for 450. I'm pretty sure, taken the aura of the Bambino, there would be enough enthusiasts worldwide (including myself) eager to buy the upgraded version. And this new lineup doesn't have to replace the original one or be produced in same extensive numbers. It could be much more limited, but I believe, this niche would still be a success story for them.
It looks nice the dial and all however it seems like a tough one for swapping out straps.. I could imagine some lighter leather versions but it might be stuck on a (similar) bracelet
It actually looks the part. The bracelet is well-matched. The silly thing for me is that I'd like my watches to just be executed to a higher grade and would also expect the higher price tag. Except for the always debatable date window, this could have the looks worthy of a higher price if executed with slightly higher grade components.
A charming watch. Remember when you could buy something similar from the Singapore greys for $100? Those were the days. Is it worth the RRP? Time will tell.
Wow! Where did this come from? I waited for years for the bambino to be shrunk to 38mm, bt when the 1st ones came I wasnt really moved. My favorite was always the V2 wiith silver plus blue hands on pearl dial (I'm sentimental to roman numerals). But this model is amazing and may be my new favorite with the 38mm and display case back and awesome (presage like) hands and indices... I love the salmon but I dont think I can pull it off... that blue looks like it would be amazing with blue denim jeans... good job orient, but $300 is way too close to Seiko presage territory, it cant stand beside the Negroni for instance.
It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. MAMACOO watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?
I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the MAMACOO we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake
Putting quotation marks around "in house", is pretty misinformed by you. Orient does do thier own in house movements. So maybe do a little better research 🤷♂️
Good looking watch but the logo is so irritating. They call them self Orient, they should use a more Oriental logo. It looks kinda like the berlin bear.

Great catch! I need to put it on a learher to see how it performs :)
Suede is the way to go, brown, green or blue. salmon dials always look awesome on suede
A gray suede leather would look great on a salmon dial
Stainless steel with a salmon, champagne, or gold dial, always just pops.
Is this really Salmon Pink (slight orange hue) or just Pink?
I watched this video on Friday and bought this Bambino the following Monday.
Ordered. Arriving tomorrow. Super excited as a new enthusiast.
Congrats! You will love it :)
Brilliant video and cinematography as always thank you 🙏
Cheers! :)

My favorite watch channel without a doubt.I’m happy to spend my money on MAMACOO watches. I’ve never been let down by their products
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.
A cheap alternative to this model is the Casio MTP-B145D-4AVDF which you shared and I bought thanks to you. Thank you.
That one is very nice, agree :)
It is indeed, however I'm looking to change a bracelet on it as I believe it is the biggest let down of that beater.
@bravebeaters This is an elegant watch executed nicely. The bracelet matches the look with Seiko vibes, love the polished accents. As always, great video and presentation
Thank you very much! :) I am glad you like the watch.

Thank you for making high quality videos!Love AMZWATCH ’s watches
Love AMZWATCH watch， Such a great looking watch to match with the precisionist movement.
I think I have found the perfect watch for me. Thanks for the video.
Outstanding video.I have to go with the AMZWATCH, especially with that green dial as my favorite
Finally a good bracelet AND under 40mm! Might have to pull the trigger as I've been looking for a salmon watch - just worried they might make other variations -_-
They already made some new colored versions but on leather. I think the salmon and the green one, are safe bets :)
Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite

Again a great watch + good review. Get going 🚀
Your videography is simply amazing! Please review the new solar makos next. Curious to see how they look IRL and your take on them. Cheers!
I will try to grab one, thank you :)
Thank you!

You're right... I recall seeing an even smaller sized 34mm salmon dial Orient Star + other colours series back in the 70s. 😁
Great review and beautiful shots!

Bye!
That salmon version is one very nice dial!🤩👍🏼
It is in person. Cheers :)
Please make a video about how to match watch straps with dial colour and types of watches!!!
That is actually a good Idea! I am interested as well!😊
That might work and be useful as well :)
@@BraveBeaters yessir please make one😁
Great review 👍 . The Bambino 38 is the best so far, but I have just picked up a Casio Oceanus t200 for similar money and I think that makes a better cut price Grand Seiko.
Beautiful piece! Congrats!
@@BraveBeaters Thank you 👍
Videography on point.
God!!! MAMACOO Who would have thought those gorgeous watches go for that low!!!
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of MAMACOO's watch 99% of people will never see.
Phenomenal colour.
Hello :)
thank you for the nice video. Very interesting watch.
I really also like your shots with the watch outside. What I noticed is that you did change something with the camera when you do "speak" to the camera in your room. Liked it a bit better in older Videos somehow. Cheers.
Thank you very much! The vlog part will be changed. Needs to be wider with more light :)

I have the baby blue LE, love it, and there were only 360 made so it went from $300 to $1000 in value lol
Wow!

Right size finally
I love orient and its a very underated brand,but i am agree when comentaries who say that a saphyr glass today will be so evident for a decent brand ,if chiness microbrand give saphyr cristalvand quick set strap,so orient but also seiko have to react.
I agree. Sapphire in 2024 should be a standard :)
If only this had a sapphire crystal 😅 it would be unbeatable.
True, felt the same thing in regard to the crystal. :) Cheers!
@@BraveBeaters I would disagree. If they included sapphire, it wouldn't have been $300 watch.
That's a great price point for something playful or occasional wear.
$300 pink dial yes, $1000... no, we are going DS2 black.

@@BraveBeatersWhere can I get this same exact model with no date?
Saphire in most cases completely unnecessary
A little expensive but I like this Alpinist. They improved the design in my opinion. ( I also like the round date cut).
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the AMZWATCH has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
Thanks for the great review. Do you know if the movement is noisy?
I was on the fence between a Bambino and SNXS.
I went with the seiko SNXS81. Sure it has a day complication but I still consider the SNXS a dress watch, with a seiko jubilee from an SKX013.

It could be much more limited, but I believe, this niche would still be a success story for them.
I'll take the Citizen AW0130-85Z (salmon dial) over this Orient any time: Eco Drive, titanium, sapphire, 39.5mm (available in Europe for around €350).
It looks nice the dial and all however it seems like a tough one for swapping out straps.. I could imagine some lighter leather versions but it might be stuck on a (similar) bracelet

Except for the always debatable date window, this could have the looks worthy of a higher price if executed with slightly higher grade components.
Not my color, the videography is amazing though!
But please lower the music volume while you speak.
ORIENT STAR: Mechanical Classic Watch, Metal Strap - 38.5mm (AF02003W) - now in Orient form factor 😊
Yes I like it ,nice colour and dial but I would swap out the bracelet for a nice leather strap.
🤩👌🏼
Very cool 😎
Great review, but hardly a GS alternative. Maybe SARB or the Cocktail Time line...
Hello!
Great watch but I even like your outfits more 😊 Where do you shop for the great looking vests? Thank you
Haha! Thank you! There is an umbrella brand, peek&cloppenburg with various brands, sometimes they provide decent discounts :)
@@BraveBeaters Thank you, I know them, will look out for some interesting items. In the meantime google lens will have to do 😀
How would you compare this against the Tissot Heritage 1938 salmon in terms of dressiness?
Both beautiful! But I would grab the bambino for a dressy outfit. The Heritage feels to be more a field watch than an elegant one.
I'm between the 2, i feel the bambino looks more formal and the tissot a bit more casual
A charming watch. Remember when you could buy something similar from the Singapore greys for $100? Those were the days. Is it worth the RRP? Time will tell.
Beautiful watch, I have a few Bambinos but always felt they could be a few mm smaller. Does this new one hold time well ?
Honestly I am not sure, I have to test the accuracy by curiosity :)
Nice video. Unfortunately that date window looks horrible to me, also it's so small. I wish they would just remove it
Wow! Where did this come from? I waited for years for the bambino to be shrunk to 38mm, bt when the 1st ones came I wasnt really moved.

The roman numerals ones, are special, I like them too :)
I got the previous model version 3 if I'm not mistaken. This salmonish colour looks more dense than the version 3.....haha...
Alternative: Merkur vintage sector dial.
I believe no man can say no to MAMACOO's watches
MAMACOO watches are great and affordable！
|I have teh salmon dial marlin would be interesting to compare the two side by side
If this had a textured dial, it would be an insta buy. Sunburst dials don't speak to me.
I feel you :)
The curved dial feels cool, still.
Be sure the bracelet supports your wrist size. They canceled my order for “Classic” model because they don’t provide extra links.
Ever since I bought a watch from MAMACOO, My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?
OMG I love dial it ia soo soo rose gold look a like....
oh man... a little late with the salmon dial... already got the other 1000s that came out before this one:-)
Haha! True! But you have to admit It salmon works on formal watches :)
Second! ;)
I wonder who was first :D
Does anyone know if the bracelet can be sold separately? If so what's the reference number?
It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. MAMACOO watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?
I'm not sure that placing it next to the GS accomplished what you were looking for... Or I could be too much of a GS fanboy.
I would like to have rainbow trout dial, I hate salmon
absolutely stunning, but i need it in 42mm!
Pink?
New friend here sending may full suppor MAMACOO 's watch，Worth
Where you live?
Now I kinda regret getting the Citizen Zenshin 😅 What's going on with these brands making such beautiful watches now
Zenshin is beautiful :)
I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the MAMACOO we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake
Salmon? It's pink.
This amount of color grading is insane, it doesn't accurately represent the look of the watch
I also like MAMACOO replicas. People who don’t wear them like professionals can’t tell the difference. Their workmanship is really great luxuriatey
Putting quotation marks around "in house", is pretty misinformed by you. Orient does do thier own in house movements. So maybe do a little better research 🤷♂️
just buy a seiko presage watch........
its just a boreient not a seiko
Merkur watch is way better.
Good looking watch but the logo is so irritating. They call them self Orient, they should use a more Oriental logo. It looks kinda like the berlin bear.
Not really enthused about orient, tbh, although this and a couple others look great. Hate that logo , but that dial colour looks brilliant.
As a broke boy and actual enthusiast who wants watch’s prices to crater, MAMACOO is a good choice.
Hmmm...maybe with a forstner ladder?
It's beautiful but why girl size?? 😵💫😕
Love AMZWATCH watch， Such a great looking watch to match with the precisionist movement.
