    I’ll updoot because I’m an orient fan and this colour combo slaps hard - but god I miss when these used to go for under $200

      It's a nice watch!

      That pretty much sums up every price tier of watches.

        True. But for this model it was posted at least 3 times as recent as Feb this year.

        11/07/2023- $164.79

        02/09/2023 - $167.91

        17/02/2024 - $184.11

        I know the camels chart can be a bit weird sometimes but it looks to show from oct - around March 2024, it was jumping up and down a lot - but was under $250.

      Why do you like the Orient's?

      I was in Japan last year for a vacation and saw a Orient Sun and Moon that looked really nice, but just couldn't put my money on it, as I am a tight ass.

        *nice design
        *decent movements used and build quality generally reported as decent
        *good reputation and brand name recognition
        *relatively affordable for many , good value for under $250 for a 'brand name' watch (as opposed to Chinese or rebadged micro brands)
        *can tell everyone its JDM AF

        I still dont have any in my collection though - but SAC08002F0 is on my list.
        i also wish they would reissue orient president day date - there is no way in hell i am paying scalper prices for the og.

    • bambadee on 29/08/2024 - 15:50

      Genuine question as I see you comment on all the watch posts: what would you recommend for a first watch? Orient and Seiko seem to be popular contenders here.

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 29/08/2024 - 16:35

        What’s your budget and wrist size mate? And do you want it for casual or dressier outfit?

        I’m currently pretty much wearing my ssc813p everyday, dresses down well with a shirt and jeans or dresses up good with an oxford shirt. Hell I’d prob wear it with a suit too. A good price for it is $600 or less brand new. Up to 7 inch wrist is good.

        Otherwise can’t go wrong with classics like Seiko 5 (there’s a heap of different versions to suit taste and occasion)

        • bambadee on 29/08/2024 - 16:50

          Say $400, and never actually measured wrist size, but would say on the smaller side? Smart casual outfit.

            @bambadee: I’m bias but if you don’t mind second hand and $400 is a hard limit, second hand ssc813p

            Otherwise just a Quick Look over historical data maybe start looking at:

            Timex legacy - rrp $300, usually up to 30% less at iconic

            Timex marlin chrono rep 449, wait for 30% off

            Seiko SRPE43J or SRPJ21J- about $379

            Casio A1000MA-7D

            Amazon orient specials (price fluctuate a lot) - up to you about which one, I quite like the open heart ones.

            Citizen Tsuyosa - i specially like the gold ones, but can’t go past NJ0151-88L

            Citizen NH9130-84A - was $259 last month rrp $550

      • Pancake Moon on 30/08/2024 - 03:15

        go with Seiko panda

      • G-rig on 30/08/2024 - 07:11

        Orient Mako 2/3 (Komasu), or a Seiko/ citizen are certainly a good choice.

    Still waiting on the 38mm under 200$.

    • beltdrive on 29/08/2024 - 14:01

      Same, although I don't know if it will ever happen. Inflation etc. Wish they had made the 38mm model years ago. The latest 38mm small seconds IMO is the best Bambino yet

        We can only hope mate

        Yep - waiting on the price to drop on the SS versions then will grab one. They're super nice.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 29/08/2024 - 14:22

      not sure if i should hold my breath for a re-issue on orient president day date..or just get a timex legacy for that 'day date' look

    • ChibsQT on 29/08/2024 - 14:29

      have you got a link to that one? Thanks

    • Jono454 on 30/08/2024 - 20:32

      Currently on creation watches for $287 after promo/GST is applied.

  • epicttiimm on 29/08/2024 - 13:27

    Can’t believe the price of the Bambinos now. Bought mine for $150 and it’s $250 now.

  • Powershopz on 29/08/2024 - 13:42

    This is normal price.

  • ChairmanMeow on 29/08/2024 - 13:57

    Waiting for the open heart version :')

    Any recommendations for small wrists? Something similar to Tissot PRX?

  • Aldonis on 29/08/2024 - 20:00

    ivory dial when

  • Pancake Moon on 30/08/2024 - 03:14

    price should be under $200

  • airtime on 30/08/2024 - 07:32

    What is the movement used on these? The specs listed just say 'Japanese Automatic'. Anyone know which Japanese Automatic, brand and calibre?

    It is a classic handsome looking watch. For me, I still wish they didn't include the colour (in this case red) in the logo print on the dial. I think it would look better without the colour but that's a very individual observation.

    • G-rig on 30/08/2024 - 07:38

      Inhouse movement, look on calibre corner. It's good so don't worry for this price.
