I recently got a Orient Bambino and I'm very happy with it at the price point
After being delighted with the service from Creation watches on purchasing a Seiko SKX007, my good lady decided she'd like something new too. I was quite pleased as this will stop her borrowing most of mine. She wanted something with a clear dial and a gold case to match her jewellery and went for this one. I must admit for £59 inc delivery, I'm quite impressed...even the leather strap is of a decent quality, and it only took 5 days to arrive, which considering it came from Singapore isn't bad at all.

That is very like my Tag Carrera WV211 which I absolutely adore, well chosen that lady!
That is a nice watch for a lady - congratulations.
Hope she wears it with pride and enjoys it.
Appreciate that. It's quite large for a dress style watch, but it's exactly what she wanted. In fact I may end up wearing it now and again too.Originally Posted by eduk

Very nice! My friend bought one very very similar to that a few weeks back and bought it over to show me. I was very impressed and for the cash it looked like a very nice quality watch!
I agree. For the money I'd be hard pushed to think of many others that I've bought that has been so nicely finished especially as it's a proper mechanical not a quartz movement. I'm tempted to look at a couple of others too for myself, and do like the Bambino as mentioned earlier by adzman808

Indeed for me the size of the Tag was one of the reasons I went for it. I have pretty small wrists and often struggle with watches looking a bit silly on me. At 39mm my Carrera I find the Carrera is large enough to have a presence but not too chunky for a dressier style watch. For me, the perfect size!
Great choice in Orient. I've an Orient too: superb quality for the price. And terrific value for an automatic; hard to beat!
I really like my Orient.
I have a Pepsi dialled diver.
Lovely bracelet.
One of my keepers for sure.
Can't get photo bucket to upload a picture
Funnily enough my first Orient arrived from Creation last Friday morning. Exactly as the OP, this was also a present for my better half. Where we differ, the object of Mrs JJs desire was a Mako XL. The white faced with green bezel.
I thought it was worth a punt at £99, even if at 44.5mm it would be waaaaaay too big for either of us. I also though that given that her only previous experience of watches was a ladies quartz. Having a reasonably weighty diver hanging off her wrist, would prove to be a pain after a short while.
Obviously I was mistaken, she loves it. Hasn't taken it off since. Worse thing is, it looks bloody brilliant on her and is currently running at an rather amazing +3 secs a day.
I'm a bit gutted.
I'll have to buy another for myself.
She has also said that perhaps I should bang up a pic on here of her wearing it. Think she's just taking the piss now.
I have two Orients, the first one was given to me as a present, the other one I purchased myself.
My first and only Orient came free with my Orient star. I was amazed that an auto looking so good was a free gift.
What a lovely Orient. Congratulations on the purchase.
Nice one, wear it in good health! Orient has some really nice dress watches in this price range.
I think large divers can look great on women.
Awww, go on. ;-)
I might see if my good lady is up for a quick & dirty pic when she gets back to the office later
Orient do make great watches, I find it hard to believe they can make any money at the price they sell at!
Recently moved on an orange Mako XL, have a hankering for that very green bezelled job mentioned above...
I shouldn't have sped read that sentence ;-)
...yes, I don't think I phrased that very well
The strap's a little too long for her, but she loves it which is what matters.
Very good watches indeed. FWIW, Orient is owned as a fully independent subsidiary of Seiko Watch Corporation.
It appears that she does as well ha ha.
She's back Friday, see if we get round to it.
<grin>
I do hope so. :-)
Oh that does look very good indeed on your good lady's wrist. Her slim wrist makes the watch look much larger than it is and yet it still suits her....yes, I don't think I phrased that very well
