They're affordable, great looking, and are generally looked at as (arguably) one of the best first dress style watches someone can pick up. I have the model pictured but with the \"pearl\" face and blue indicators, I think the white would go better personally but the pearl faced version is awesome looking as well.","subreddit_name":"AirForce","author":"OCislost"},{"body":"Orient Men's '2nd Gen.

My current watch, a Fossil [ME3099](https://www.fossil.com/en-us/products/grant-automatic-dark-brown-leather-watch/ME3099.html) died after close to 2 years. I figured I should get a watch with a more reliable movement now. I recently purchased an Orient [Bambino 2nd Gen Ver 2](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N45HWRM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) but will be returning it since it looks kind of small and awkward on my 7.5 inch wrist.

Working from home has been the key factor--I used to wear this watch about every other day--but it's also a bit bigger than I'd prefer.\r\n\r\nIt keeps great time, and the crystal is blemish free. There are some miniscule scuffs on the case back which I can't explain. You can make them out in one of the photos. I'm also including the band the watch came with, but you can do better. As you can also see in the album, it hasn't aged well, but it was never much of a stunner; \"genuine leather\" is a travesty.\r\n\r\nHere is this watch's Amazon page from which I've plucked the below details: [https://www.amazon.com/Orient-Bambino-Japanese-Automatic-Stainless/dp/B01N45HWRM?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Orient-Bambino-Japanese-Automatic-Stainless/dp/B01N45HWRM?th=1)\r\n\r\nDomed mineral crystal\r\n\r\nDomed dial\r\n\r\nDial: white\r\n\r\nJapanese-automatic Movement\r\n\r\nCase Diameter: 40.5mm\r\n\r\nCase Thickness: 12mm\r\n\r\nWater resistant to 30m (100ft)\r\n\r\nI'm asking for $75 including shipping.
