Bambino is a must have classic for watch fanatics. Lovely blue dials on a cream dial, great dress and a day to day watch. The only downside is the strap (pretty stiff), but you can get another one since the price was discounted :)

Great watch, looks just like it is described, I get lots of compliments when I wear it.

I just loved it from the first time I open the box. The price LIW is selling it for is a real bargain. I can't enough recommend how good the watch is or how good the price and service are of LIW.

Perfect as expected.

Orient Bambino is a brilliant watch at its price. It's a solid entry point into the world of mechanical watches IMO. The delivery was super quick, and the watch arrived safely with all the documents. Definitely recommend LongIslandWatch. PS longislandwatch if you're seeing this - Please restock the Seiko Alpinist :)

When you buy an all in house made Gen 2 Orient Bambino from one of the most reputable authorized dealers in the United States, you KNOW that you are getting a watch that was made and handled with care. Sure, you can pay a few bucks less somewhere in the "grey" market, but when choosing a substantial timepiece, wouldn't you want a true expert handling your investment! You will look at your watch several times each day you wear it, and having that extra care and piece of mind is something that you can't put a price tag on. The watch itself is elegant and timeless, cream dial with blue hands that seem to hide unless the light strikes them in just the right moment. With the upgrade of a new strap and whether it's casual, business, or dress, you will be sure to impress in any situation. Maybe not a "blak tie" watch, but you don't have to follow any rules with a piece this amazing. The BEST bang for buck from a top notch retailer.

The watch has a beautiful design especially with those blue (painted) hands. The movement has been great and my piece is running at +7 seconds per day! The polishing and brushing is amazing. Very excellent build quality overall. I’m very pleased with the product. The only downside would be the strap. I’m not a big fan of the super shiny strap and it is quite stiff but it’ll mold to your wrist no problem. I had to change mien to a lighter brown one but that’s just my preference and you might actually like the stock strap itself. I’d recommend you get this watch if it has been on your mind. And always remember, get watch based on your preference but backed by a bit if research! You’re buying it for yourself, not others.

Picked up my new Bambino a few days ago. What top value for money this piece is. I have a large wrist so it looks perfect as a dress watch on me and is simply stunning. My wife loves it too and she reckons a bloke only needs one watch! The tide is slowly turning. I will start the GMT discussion soon! Have already had people comment on it so there you go. Paid the minimal shipping fee to Australia this purchase and was completely satisfied with the entire process and delivery time. Thanks Marc and your team at Long Island Watch. Cheers Chris

Excellent customer service after some awful complications delivering UK:Ireland. Lovely looking watch but the crystal is very soft! Not good to wear in any situation where you may scratch it.

Thanks for your patience with me during the ordering process! Your YouTube videos are informative and allowed me to make an informed choice. I love my new Orient bambino gen 2 version 2.

2/15/2019 waited a long time for the right price and finally pulled the trigger. well packaged and delivered in a timely fashion. beautiful watch with a great wrist presence. contrary to some reviews, keeps excellent time, being slow by half a minute over a ten days to two weeks period. completely satisfied and happy with this purchase. the stiff brown leather band which comes with the watch actually is quite broken in soft and pliable after I worked on it with my hands for a day or two. the beautiful brown color goes well with this watch. would be even better if it tapered at the ends more. one question is: are there options to replace the crystal with a sapphire one? thanks Long Island Watch Shop.

I wear any watch that I like amd am able to affford. . I was referred to Long Island watch co to purchase a watch some consider a classic. Many Horologists often give a nod to this Japanese piece. Automatic in the cost effective segment. The Orient Bambino 2. I saw it and fell in love. During the process I was so excited to receive it that I paid for 2nd day delivery. When it was not there ton the second day I contacted the store and Marc wrote back. (Ive since come to learn that he is quite famous in the watch world!) within 2 minutes and said he would refund the shipping money. Later that night I read the contract and it was as clear as day that I had erred! I wrote the next morning insisting he charge me, he would have none of it. I do not find many people who own a business that will take actions when they really are not at fault. Very professional and passionate about the brands he carries and watches in general.

The watch is really handsome looking and arrived in perfect condition very quickly after I placed my order. At the risk of being wordy, I want to make some more general, glowing comments about Mark and Long Island Watch. This was my first purchase from LIW. I spent a couple of months beforehand watching Mark's YouTube videos, learning some basics about watches, and just getting a feel for Mark. I also emailed Mark a number of questions about the watches he stocks -- not just this one -- but a number of others as well. Mark always responded quickly and helpfully. This has been a great consumer experience. I feel strongly that I can order from Long Island Watch with complete confidence in both the quality of the products and the integrity with which Mark runs his business. Thanks, Mark!

just as I imagined ... this watch is beautiful and the delivery was fulfilled in the promised times

Gorgeous watch. I've had it a couple of weeks now. I didn't measure a whole day of accuracy until yesterday because I forgot it had the hacking feature (which is easy to forget at this price). It was about 4 seconds slow in 24 hours. That seems really good, especially for this price. The blue hands are subtle and pretty and as I don't like my complications too "complicated," I like that the date at 3:00 is subtle as well. And the tiny dot of red above the name is a nice touch. It's hard for me to comment on customer service because the transaction was basically click "complete purchase" and wait three days until it arrived. Very smooth. Arrived fast. I paid maybe $10 more to buy it from LIW because LIW has a stellar rep and my peace-of-mind is worth more than that. If you want a dress/dress casual watch that looks hundreds of dollars more expensive than it is and that you are constantly glancing at with pleasure, don't even think about it and just buy this watch from Mark.

I have made several purchases from LIW, all of which have been very positive. All inquiries have been met with prompt and informative answers and the pricing and service fulfillment is first rate. I will not hesitate to do further business with Marc and his staff and I also enjoy his U-Tube postings as well. These guys ROCK!!

Love my watch.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
