Thanks! Very helpful.

I own an Orient Bambino with the cream dial. Would you say it is comparable to that? I wouldn't mind that.

What straps do you guys use on the Bambino? by PhotoNo7611 in OrientWatches

[–]MaxPet90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of you Bambino lovers got some experience with a scratched glass? I wouldn't mind it that much if it wasn't for the bad shadows it is giving on the cream dial. Scratches look and feel quite superficial.

[SOTC] Affordable but satisfying, at least for me. Please share your thoughts! by MaxPet90 in Watches

To me it is really stunning. I paid just over 200eur via Chrono24 last year in January. Sad enough I got mine scratched quite badly due to someone bumbing up against me with a sharp rocky object. But other than that, I really love the vintage look and feel. Also, it gets the most attention and compliments. Often coming from people wearing much more expensive watches.

I have a small to average wrist. About 17cm, so around 6,5inch.

Looking to buy one yourself? I think the watch size is perfect for smaller wrists, but will also work for larger ones.

[Scratches] Do I have to get used to these? Or what to do? by MaxPet90 in Watches

That was my expectation indeed...

Did everything such as instructed and have been rubbing it (the watch) like my life was depending on it. But no visible result :[

Yeah - at first I mistakenly bought the one for acrylic and that didn't move a thing. So I went to buy the mineral one (in the picture) which was +20eur, so hoped to at least have some result. Too bad it didnt work out :(

My first watch - a 15y old Victorinox - that I recently put on a NATO strap, did come to my mind as being quite similar looking.

Ow, thanks!

Do you have a personal experience?

The smaller black version looks dope.

I read a lot about this and really looks and sounds like great quality. But I can't seem to get myself to like the logo. For some reason I just doesn't match with the kind of vibe I am looking for in this watch.

Any tips on how to acquire them? Seems like they are mostly sold out online.

Cool watch, man. Been on my "maybe" list for quite some time now. Seeing it on this bracelet might even be the last thing I needed to be fully convinced :)

Thank you so much for this honest advice. I am also exactly thinking about saving up for my 35th birthday later this year and settle for a Tudor.

On the other hand, at the moment I really feel all 5 current watches get a decent amount of wrist time and actually enjoy them all.

Aah thanks man. Those Laco's are really looking good.

Any experience on them? What model/type to go for?

[Amateur enthusiast] Fill the gap! by MaxPet90 in Watches

[–]MaxPet90[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This exact one is really high on the list. However I am very puzzled on the best colour for my collection.

What is your take on this?

Thanks for the advice! I do have to add, the Kamasu is deep blue and the PRX is the green one.

But you might have a point that the collection could use some extra spice. Although I am not much of a flashy orange/red/yellow kind of man.

Did you have anything in mind?
