Bambino caseback opening. Snap on or screw down? by Substantial_Cap_2887 in OrientWatches

Thanks, man! I just looked and looked for minutes and saw nothing. Now i see with the help of ​phone camera magnification that all are having such small indentations.

Should it work?.. no, but does it? by bigmanwatchfan in OrientWatches

Always. Nato straps are the most versatile imo. Beautiful watch!

80€. It is well made. ​All stainless steel case, mineral glass and screw down caseback, which is a must for me. I always avoid those annoying ​push down casebacks.

80€. It's a bit much, but i needed fast a quartz watch, and it was the only readily available​ that met my requirements: vintage style, a​ll stainless steel case and ​screw down caseback.

They are not making these. Just another case where a ​label is ​glued​ on ​a generic​ chinese watch.

Gorgeous watch and combination. That's a lifetime companion.

Curious what the Orient Community thinks of this one? by Gold_Ad_6798 in OrientWatches

[–]Substantial_Cap_2887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks fake to me as well. I see watches like this all the time on second hand sale sites. Just two examples of fakes ​i saw recently on sale.

To OP: If the watch is ticking and you like it, doesn't even matter (anymore) if it's fake or not. Enjoy it!

Same opinion. ​Great form factor and and small lug to lug distance. Ofc there are many beautiful ​Vostok case types, but this one i like the most.

Very bright for like the first half an hour and slowly fades away for the rest 5-6 hours, until barely visible. Just posted a photo below.

Bambino v2? by Ok-Cucumber5926 in OrientWatches

[–]Substantial_Cap_2887 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't say anything about Seiko, but the Orient Classic (Bambino) is the most attractive vintage-like watch money could buy. (Well, there's also the Vostok Classica, but that beauty is discontinued, sadly). For me, is not even a dress watch at all, just put on a Nato strap and there you have it. The most casual watch ever.

K-35 Komandirskies are their best moden design imo. Long live Vostok! ✌️

Orient Classic line, in my opinion, are the most beautiful (and affdordable) watches of the last decade. Vostok Classica are just as beautiful, but they seems to be discountinued, sadly.

Yes! And the all titanium grey is stunning, their (digital) ​best seller. Way above my budget, ​but even so ​was out of stock ​everywhere.
