    Well, it took them long enough, but I think these new 38mm Bambini are spot on. Finally they have the proportions to match the looks. Not sure how often I'll wear it, but it is not so expensive that I'll feel guilty about it sitting in my box. Cheers, Jody

    Orient hit a home-run with this one. I’d rather have either a sapphire or an acrylic crystal, however. Either make it non-scratch, or make it so I can polish out the scratches.

    Thanks for the great review Jodie. I had the Gen2 V2 Bambino, but it was rather large for my 6.5in wrist. I gifted it to a friend with a 7in wrist and absolutely loves it.
    I can now replace that Gen 2 V2 with this one.

    Nice review ! I always wanted a bambino but it was a bit too big for my wrist and the dreadful 21mm lug width was also the reason for not getting one, I’m super happy they have made it smaller with 20mm lug width and even gave us display case back as a bonus !

  • @greggusan
    @greggusan ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I like this, and glad it's finally 38mm (with 20mm lugs!). That dial is also a nice color. I'd really like to see a version of this with a small seconds subdial. That would really be the ticket for me.

    With dress watches being my style of watch I particularly look forward to these reviews, thanks Jody. I already have a Bambino but with a skinny 6.25 inch wrist I feel it looks a little big on me. With another Bambino on my list it's great that they're now offering a choice of sizes and I really hope we're starting to edge away from the 40-42mm as standard. As for 'ladies' watches, like dress watches they can be for every one, every day. When a watch looks this good why wouldn't you want to wear it all the time. ...oh yeah, because we need to wear some of the others in our collection.

    Good topic and video! I appreciate the review. I am happy to see a 38 mm case diameter, and a 20 mm lug width that I had not previously known about. However, I already have a Bambino and you covered my sentiments at the @11:05 mark. I am not going to replace what I have and wear often but if I decide to add another dress watch I will definitely consider this new Bambino.

    Good video Jody, thanks. I tried this new Bambino and a Kamasu in an AD in Poland recently. Both looked more expensive and way better than any fashion watch. It's a pity Orient don't have more AD's in other countries as I think they would sell more watches and it's good to try on a watch first before paying for it.

    Got mine a few days ago, and went for the same colour scheme as you, it's gorgeous and mine's currently running about +5 a day, so very happy. (No timegrapher section? I've seen mixed results with these, so would be interesting to see how your's is doing)
    I just wish they had stretched to fitting a sapphire crystal, then it would be perfect.
    I've also seen some videos of the white variant, and that looks, dare I say it, more up market than the cream, but I'm happy with the cream's more vintage appeal, which my small collection was missing.

    Beautiful watch and great review. I managed to buy the 36mm Bambino from Jomashop and absolutely love it. Like you said, they marketed it as a woman's watch, but my male friends are jealous of it. So glad I got it, it is beautiful and so comfortable to wear, perfect fit!

  • @BoozewithNick

    Great stuff. I have that brown dial/brown strap v4, and I love it, but yeah it wears a bit big- and I say that as someone who comfortably wears 43-45mm divers. Glad to see Orient making the Bambino more accessible for smaller-wristed guys. And my v4 did ship in one of the new flat boxes, from Jomashop. Nice dial color, graceful long lugs, nice crystal. Now I say this as an Orient fanboy, but that was a “decorated” rotor by Orient standards. *lol*

    Nice watch. Good on them for taking the case size to 38mm and the lug width to 20mm. I saw another review of the small seconds Bambino. I would have bought it, but that 21mm lug width was a deal breaker for me. I'm a big guy with an 8 inch wrist. When I buy a watch, I assume I'll have to get a longer strap. Those odd lug widths limit my choices. Glad to see Orient making these changes. Thanks for another great video.

    38mm is a perfect size for this piece, I thought the old 40 - 42mm version wouldn’t suit me very well so I opted for a timex Marlin instead (well my wife bought it for me!) plus I feel better with acrylic on my wrist instead of mineral.

    I've been looking forward to this watch since I heard the rumors that it was coming out. I always liked the Bambino, but I have a largish wrist, which requires me to wear XL straps. 19 and 21 mm watch straps are almost impossible to source in XL. I really like this style of watch, so have a drawer full of 20mm dressy watch straps. I'll probably wait until the prices come down a bit before grabbing one. I think the color combo you reviewed is the perfect one.

    Jody, thanks for a good review. I believe that this would be the 6th version of the Bambino. The Small Seconds really was the fifth. The FAC08004D0 and it’s ilk was called Version 4 (and has 22mm lugs). I have three in my collection and I love them all. They go well whenever I have to dress up a bit. And are affordable enough for me to have colors to match outfits.

    I bought the same 42mm version you did and came to the same conclusion: It's too damn big. But it is my favorite version of the Bambino in terms of looks. I really wish they would produce that version, charcoal dial and suede strap, in 38mm. That would be perfection.
    BTW, this is the same box they used for previous Orient Star models. Interesting to see it on their lower end line.

    Good to see your take on the 40.5mm vs the 38mm. I have about the same sized wrist, and another not debating a Bambino, I am debating the Hamilton Khaki Auto in either 42mm or 38mm with a 7 inch wrist. I'm so used to wearing 40-44mm divers that 38mm just seems small numerically, but I am thinking for dress watches and field watches maybe 38mm is the best choice.

The Swiss Army will continue to be my everyday and I’ll rotate the Bambino when I need a dress watch between the Movado and JJ. I have a feeling I’m going to buy a few more watches over the coming years, there’s something about this Bambino that is getting me interested.

Here in Florida there isn't much occasion to dress up. I wish there were; I have lots of nice clothes, but my lifestyle just doesn't include a lot of dressing up. It's either a uniform for work, casual attire for daily wear or gym attire for exercise. I really have to think outside of the box to incorporate them regularly. Cheers mate!

    Anyway, got a silverish one of these (RA-AC0M03S). Going to regulate it the same way I regulated my other Orients, but still measuring the initial accuracy and waiting for it to stabilize. This one got one so many things right that I don't even mind it has no small seconds (although I still am waiting for a hypothetical 38mm version of RA-AP): the dial is finally not too big and not too small for me, the second and minute hands finally reach the markers, the lug width is finally 20mm so that my quick-release steel mesh straps are deployed in seconds, the crown is extremely easy to grip and operate, and the overall design is both dressy and humble at the same time. Overall, wasn't disappointed, no wonder the RA-AC0M are more expensive here than RA-AP00. If anyone asks me which Orient I'd recommend, this one will be amongst the top three for sure.

    Much better size, but I'll wait for the price to come down when Orient produce yet another new variant in about 2 years. That also allows time for someone to start selling a sapphire crystal to fit. I hope they will make small seconds versions of these.

    I like it a lot. It is the right size for a watch that looks like that (or even 37mm with a 19mm band).
    I'd also actually prefer an old-school acrylic crystal as scratches can easily be buffed out...
    But those are only minor niggles. I like it, is what I'm driving at...

    As I wrote before but looks like it did not appear here, It would be fun to see Jordy from time to time doing some reviews of really cheap Chinese watches, those less than 50 bucks, even less than 30. I collect them. Some even work well...

    I have the 40mm Bambino and love it. But with an 8" wrist the 38mm looks a bit small. However I do see this one suiting an awful lot more people.

    I think the Seagull 51 you reviewed a while back has this watch beat in spades and it’s only $189 now!

    Great watch, all dial dress pieces wear larger than the stats would indicate, the dial on this will be larger than the dial on many 42mm dive watches, with their chunky bezels, chapter rings, rehouts etc. Also, the term “dress” watch is a bit of a misnomer, if we’re talking mid-century for example, this is the type of watch that the vast majority of men wore. I’m alternating as daily’s vintage Seikos - 35mm Lord Marvel and 36mm Skyliner, very well proportioned pieces, for my eyes at least.

    You've rightly come a long way from that early review !! I was half expecting Buster Keaton to wander through wearing a Straw Boater LOL. Great review of a watch, that I don't like !!

    I have two 42mm Bambinos ($120 each👍) and love that version but then again I have an almost 8" wrist so I get that this will be way more popular overall and a sensible decision by Orient.

    At last, but getting into Orient Star territory in terms of pricing. If the price drops to a sensible level I'll pick one up.

    It's a beautiful watch that harks back to the tasteful, understated 1960s dress watches. I absolutely loath watches the size of dinner plates so this 38mm is perfect for me. It's very tasteful and elegant. I do prefer the pointed hands to the squared off hands of other Bambino models. I think they suit the watch better and give it a more sophisticated look. This watch is an absolute peach.

    I have the 40.5 mm small seconds Bambino. Although I love the look of it, the size is just a bit big for my 6.5 inch wrist. 38 mm would be perfect for my wrist ... hope Orient comes out with a small seconds version in 38 mm.
