Orient Bambino!

Any idea where to get this watch in Singapore?

I think, at least to me, it's the nicest looking bambino in the market. I remember one of the bros in here mentioned a shop in Bencoolen iirc?

Other than that maestro_watches on ebay is selling at about 250sgd include free shipping.

Much appreciated!

Very nice, clean dial.

My only gripe with the design is the colour of the GMT hand. It's a bit hard to discern the GMT hand from the Minute hand. But then again, the watch looks fabulous :)

I find the Blue GMT hand quite ok. :)

looks like a typical/regular homage just from a pic - but what is the movement/material like?

sinkie got alot of watch designers now. the grandaddy of all i believe is sandoz singapore which licenses the brand. then there is zelos one of the newest. and a number of "owned in singapore" but made in swiss too :)
Gruppo gamma.
Miyota movement, sapphire glass and pvd steel
Kinda cheap also

Just came back from a visit to the Seiko Boutique at JEM.

Was completely blown away by the Grand Seiko watches on display. Amazing clarity and classy designs with the smoothest second hand sweep I have ever seen!

Just when I wanted to take my wallet out for that final big-item purchase of the year, I was brought back to Earth by the huge "Seiko" name on the dial. Just couldn't justify paying a BNIB price for a Rolex Explorer 2 42mm for a Seiko ... :(

why not take a look at the SBGJ001 instead?
