The Watch Thread - Part 3

[Paladium]

Bambino series got import to SG? I seen some of the websites they don have leh...

Can try Mustafa or The Bencoolen's 3D trading or Wins, their price is generally cheaper. And yes they have bambino, I just saw on Fri. They have the whole range of the new 2013 bambinos. Old ones also have here and there.

Btw my apologies, may need to up budget to about 220-250.

Old Bambino

2013 bambino

yeap. Awesome. Their watches fit my budget and my preference which is fantastic. Mustafa ar? is it cheaper there? or fake one.... sorry but my impression of mustafa is like that..

i doubt Mustafa will wanna risk damaging their reputation, because they are also AD for Hamilton, RW, RADO, GUCCI

Right now, Orient is under Seiko Co. but Seiko allows Orient to operate independently.

For repairs, you can go to Big Time or Seiko.

Isn't it same as citizen and seiko?

for citizen i usually aim for their eco-drive only, for seiko it is true in the past with the 7S movements, but now they have the 4R movements in their budget seiko 5 and superior lines as well and those can handwind..

lots of choice for that budget...seiko SARBs, oritent star, tissot, hamilton...

Old Bambino

i prefer the old Bambino... the dial design for the new Bambino is too "noisy" for me...

i prefer Seiko's Perpetual, because i'm really impressed with the perpetual system which will so call "hibernate" the watch with only the calendar moving, if we do not wear it for 24 hrs...making the battery last longer

and when we wear the watch again, the watch will re-align the timing, which I find it really cool

 

[Outliers]

Thanks people for the advice. I looked through many websites and whoa.. Orient has got many series... Bambino over my budget le.. deciding on the lower end one.

I realize the dial got many colors... beside white and black..
Is it common to have cream color? what do you guys think of cream color dial?

Those 4r3x family are often priced 250-400 for a seiko5
Those orient cheapo are going less. I was thinking same price pt watches

The orient cheapo movt are based off seiko older movt.

 

[SpOrTsTeR79]

Try their store at marina square.

 

[Henabi]

watches of Switzerland, VINCENT Watch, Mustafa are AD for Longines.

marina square has a Longines boutique store. Same level as MacDonald.

My 2 cents? Nah way too much money to pay for a microbrand with rather mixed reviews....would rather go for a armida A8 brass
