“The new Version 4 of the Orient Bambino model with a goldtone case and a jade green dial is an exquisite dress watch displaying a very sturdy construction in a subtle oriental style.
The genuine embossed brown leather strap is the perfect band for this timepiece as it shows not only great quality all over but also a fine detail by using a matching green hue in the lining.
Beautiful as it is, the hour and minute goldtone hands, used in this new 42mm case, would stand out quite better if both were slightly larger and longer with a thin white glossy strip (much in the same way as the hands in the Orient Howard model) to match the white minute markers.
Anyhow, I reckon this new Bambino is by all means an absolute classic gem to wear on the wrist and show it off to the world.”
“Long Island watch promptly sent me a terrific Bambino V4. Great company to do business with.
I wear a Sinn U1 as an everyday beater watch, and the Bambino works great as my dress watch. So far it is working well. it seems to keep good time, but then I only wear it for half a day when I am all cleaned up and going out somewhere. Excellent watch for this price point.
The strap is OK, but I am thinking of replacing it with something a little better.”
“This was my first purchase on LIW (actually, my first time purchasing a watch anywhere). After spending a week with this watch, I'm glad to say I made the right choice both in terms of buying this watch and ordering it from here. The gold case green dial combination is unique and mesmerizing at times. The only nitpicks I have are that the leather straps are a little stiff and squeaky at times, but I'm willing to look past that. The order arrived relatively quickly and in perfect condition. Would gladly do business again.”
“This is my first Orient watch, and also my first purchase from Island Watch. I bought the green dial as I wanted to have a change from the usual dial colors, and I'm very pleased with my choice, as it is a strikingly beautiful watch. Island Watch provided excellent service, and I got the watch in perfect condition.Highly recommended.”
“This is my second watch with a radiant green dial purchased from Marc. The first was the SEIKO ALPINIST SARB017. Comparing dials only, the Orient V4 wins 'hands down'!
Beginning from the center, the Orient V4 dial begins much brighter at the center, and fades to a deeper green at the hour markers than the Aplinist. The result is the observing eye is first captivated, then drawn into making an inquiry and commenting on the beauty of the Orient V4. It definitely is a "Killer" dress watch.
I only have three minor issues with this V4.
1. the 42mm case wears a little large on my wrist, which is smaller in size than most, A V4 Green Bambino in a 38mm would be just perfect!
2. The 22mm leather band does not taper to a narrower size at the clasp.
3. An orange tipped second hand would be more visible.
When this Green V4 Bambino is placed amongst all my mechanical watches (more than 30+) your eye goes right to it. Yes!, the radiant green dial on the V4 is that gorgeous!”
