ORIENT BAMBINO VERSION 2 AUTOMATIC FAC00009N0 – A Vintage-Vibe Automatic Watch Review

This ORIENT Bambino (FAC00009N0) Automatic watch (Version 2) in Ivory colour dial is definitely a watch among all other Orient watches to give off that vintage feel. It is the ivory colour along with those Roman numerals and the domed mineral crystal that helps give that aged vibes. Great for daily wear for work or play. If you are wearing a shirt, this watch has pretty thin thickness that you can slide your sleeve over without that distasteful awkwardness of the cuffs creasing right before the watch on the wrist.

The brush casing helps tame the vintage vibes by making it not to flashy which you know, too polished becomes too eye-catching and this is something we wouldn’t want in vintage-looking watches – subtle, gentlemanly, elegance and class.

The date display is easy to see and the blue hour-min or even the second hands against the ivory-coloured dial makes telling of time and date a breeze. No fuss.

If you are looking for a dressy vintage type of watch without the headaches of trying to fix a real vintage watch 10-15 or even 20 years back, easy to maintain and elegant classy enough for events or for daily use, this is ORIENT Bambino (FAC00009N0) Automatic watch you shouldn’t miss.

My wrist size here is at 16.25 cm.

This is just a hobby blog of the watches that I have come across – meaning owned, tried wearing them and then just give a few cents here and there about them. All in plain simple English with no complicated horology jargons.

Maybe, just maybe, giving some bitching opinions on watches around too lah haha! See how but yes, priority content will still be those that I’ve physically encounter.

Oh before I forgot – this is not a watch blogshop and I’m not selling any watches here. Hope you find the content here useful lah!
