“This was my second purchase from Long Island Watch, and was just as pleased by this as the first. I'd been wanting an Orient Bambino for some time so when I saw this one at a good price, from a guy I trust by having watched his YouTube channel for so long, I decided this was the way to go. The online store is easy and interesting to browse, and shipping is excellent. The watch itself is beautiful, slim, and superbly legible. I always love a display case back, even if this movement isn't particularly fancy. My only annoyance is the 21mm lug width, but I like the classic design elements so much that I deal with it. I would like it even better if the diameter were slightly smaller, maybe 38mm. But again, it is not a deal breaker.
Thanks, Marc! I so thoroughly appreciated shopping at your store that I did so again... twice!”
“Really nice classic looking watch, pics don't do it justice. Looks great on the wrist, have received numerous compliments. The service from Long Island Watch was excellent, this is a well run business.”
“I am really enjoying this watch. I bought it primarily as a dress watch but it works great for business casual too.
Crazy nice dial, easy to read and looks great poking out from under the shirt cuff.
Purchasing and shipping cross-border was easy.
Amazon.ca had the same watch for $2 less but I felt more comfortable buying through Island Watch. I figured if any issues arose, they would be addressed and resolved better with Marc than Amazon. A+”
“The small seconds Bambino is a nice watch and I feel worth the price.
The case is well polished, but the lugs have nice edges. The 40.5mm case is the perfect size. The mineral crystal is single domed and has a little distortion when viewed from an angle. The Champaign dial is light in color and you can easily distinguish markers and numerals in low light although this Bambino has NO lume. The dial also seems to dip down around the edge giving an appearance of depth to the dial. The date window is slightly small, but unobtrusive. The caseback is spectacular to view and has a signed rotor.
The watch strap soft on the underside and for some reason only one of the keepers is stitched into place so the other one moves freely. The dark brown color matches easily with most dark and medium brown accessories.
The movement keeps good time and the only compliant I have about it is when you wind the watch it has slight gritty feel to it, at least when compared to my seiko PADI turtle.”
