My first "dress" watch
I have a bunch of sport watches and chronographs, but until now, no real dress watch. I've always liked Roman numerals on a dress watch, and this is only my second watch with a strap. Did not want to spend a lot, so I ordered this Orient Bambino from JOMASHOP through eBay. I ordered a black embossed strap to replace the brown one it came with. For less than $130 all-in, I'm very pleased, and I think the watch is simply very nice for the $ and exceeded my expectations.

Re: My first "dress" watch
I'm a big fan of Romans on a dresser - and you get a lot of bang for your buck with the Orient. Nicely done.

Re: My first "dress" watch
As we get older, we all need a dress watch or two.
Trust me on that one.
Can't go wrong with Orient. Pretty wise choice there.

Great dial, black leather (crock-a-gator?) strap; just like a crisp white shirt and a black tie.
Nice catch.

Everything is great about a Bambino except for the name. Super dial on that one.

Classy! I like the railroad tracks and the gold second hand. Nice touches.
Congratulations on your new watch.

Re: My first "dress" watch
One of the best looking, best bang for the buck dress watches out there. Looks great.
