Love watching your reviews from Australia, your setting is so different from here and your laid back style and attention to detail are greatly appreciated
Nice to see the studio tour. The Orient looks great and I like all of the new colours and the original. As a proclaimed Lorier fanboy, I’d love for you to get Lauren and Lorenzo on the channel, they are so passionate about what they do and are real watch enthusiasts too. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Hello Max, this behind the scenes new studio tour was great. 👍 I wish you'll enjoy this new studio as much as possible and you'll continue to give us such good vids.
Nice Barcelona chairs. I have one. Orient Bambino version 7, white dial with black leather strap will be my first watch as a HoloHead (my term for a watch afficionado). And I may later buy the same watch again but with the cream dial and brown leather strap! Thats right, two of the same watch. Also eying a good inexpensive hommage replica of the Cartier Tank.
Thanks for the tour and congrats and getting a proper studio. Gonna go hunt for this watch. Love the salmon color. Could you please do a tutorial on how to do the macro shots, from equipment to setup to techniques, tips and tricks? Tysm!
You are right on about the salmon color, and the swap to brown leather, a perfect choice. Orient represents great value, not only their dress watches, but their range of divers too. One of my favorites is the Kamasu with red dial. Dependable movement, sapphire crystal and nice bracelet. Loved the peek into your studio!
Too cool now for the 100K plaque! Thank you for the behind the scenes. Like you, Orient is always one of my go tos for gifting folks their first automatic watch.
Salmon and champagne dials call for a gold case. The other two colors they offer on this limited edition match well with the case, specially the grey one.
Some of the best UA-cam channels are from watch reviewers. It’s so cool that I can sit on my couch in Toronto, and, watch a guy in Seattle review a watch from Asia.
They’re made in China wtf?! Why wouldn’t I just buy a San Martin Chinese watch (that makes homage and original designs) that has milled clasp, solid screw in links and AR coated sapphire crystals and rock solid bezels for half the price of Orient 🤷♂️. I paid $270 for my first automatic (Orient Kamasu) and it’s the biggest piece of junk. Bezel is crunchy and sticky, it isn’t ceramic, no AR coating, cheap bracelet and a flimsy clasp… well because it’s made in China 🇨🇳. Buy a San Martin and you’re getting much better quality, craftsmanship and value. This mid tier watches are subpar quality at quality watch prices. Paying ridiculous prices for a Seiko that has a mineral crystal 😂… maybe a few years ago but I know a little now. I can build a better watch than Orient with AliExpress build-a-watch kits. Do your due diligence people… it’s your money
Cool bts video. A guest for your Podcast? I feel Mike from "This Watch, That Watch " UA-cam channel might make for a good one. He has a different style and often very thought provoking analysis and point of views on watches.
@@жора-е6ц7у i bought in orient USA, seems only the dove gray one is available, the rest are sold out. I saw the baby blue on eBay as well but listed for ~500 USD plus shipping
I bought an Orient Kamasu as my first automatic watch based off these “watch enthusiasts” videos. The watch has stopped winding and I wanted another automatic and looked at San Martin, Cronos and Sugess homage’s and their watches are far superior. Better crystal (both have Sapphire crystal) on the San Martin, Cronos (having blue AR coating) and the Sugess being the best (clear AR coating) making the dial pop without the glare of Sapphire without a coating. The Orient was made with cheaper materials (bracelet feels cheap) and the clasp is a cheap stamped thin metal as opposed to milled polishing and the screw down end links. You can say well sure it’s a Chinese watch so it’s cheaper… well Orient’s are also made in China 🤷♂️. So you’re just paying the brand more money for less quality time piece. I think many “watch enthusiasts” get trapped brand exclusivity. Wanting to own something others can’t buy or afford. It still annoys me that people get duped buying replica Rolex’s but they often buy them cheap (like $3K-$6K) thinking they’re getting a deal and not understanding Rolex as a watch and just a brand they want to own and not pay the going price. Now if you’re buying a replica at replica prices (NYC) and are Ok with it idk, then more power to you. I tried buying a Rolex Submariner from AD and even offered to buy a Day Date with it (would’ve been like $30K for both) and they absolutely would NOT even think of selling to someone that wasn’t on their “cool person” list. Yes they actually have a list and depending on how much 🍑 you kiss… they might allow you to buy their watches 🤦♂️. To me this level of snobbery is why Rolex left a bad taste in my mouth and forever tainted them. If I was filthy rich I would pay a Jeweler to make a “NoLex” model and walk into the AD and give them the time… ya know in case they were wondering? “You guys take your lunch breaks yet? Look it’s 12:30PM on my Nolex watch”. Yes I’m being petty, but not as petty as Rolex. Great watch terrible company. Buy what you like, don’t let watch snobs tell you what you should wear. No reason you shouldn’t have a mineral crystal watch these days. Most watch models are made in China save for a few high end Seiko’s (not just a Swiss movements dropped in a Chinese made case) and real Swiss watches obviously
It's so ridiculous and embarrassing that they can't manage to put on sapphire crystal on the Bambino. Chinese brands with similar or (most likely) better quality do it for less than half of the price. At least offer an option to upgrade.
Don't fix thé youtube sign on thé wall, look soooo cool that way, max would you give me a shout out next Time on vidéo, since i'm your #1french parisien Guy in thé univers ? Thx, keep UP thé really good work, Frédéric

Fantastic behind the scenes peek, thanks Max and team. Loving that salmon dial too, Orient have done a great job here.
Thanks 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!

Great look behind the camera! Congrats on the new studio, it looks amazing! I expect big things Max!
Thanks for the encouragement!!
Can’t go wrong with the new Orient colors. Cool studio! Appreciate all the behind the scenes work.
i just bought mine today after i watched your video 😅 i got the same salmon dial variant and i am loving it!
Where did you buy this ? They are sold everywhere..
Wow, great space! Can't wait for all the magic happening there in the future!!👌🏻

Right on! They are taking over where Seiko left off
They seem to be taking over where Seiko was once at .😊
Really enjoyed the video, nice one Sam👏

Right on! Thanks Buddy 😊

Looks like this is a limited edition release. Only 360 sold worldwide.
Just got my salmon dial Orient....great little watch!
In what way are they different from the Orient Star Explorient series other than size? 😊
I recently added an Orient Bambino open-heart with the dark blue dial. Orient has very nice dials for their price
Definitely 💯😁

Wowowo fantastic I liked bambino best watch from orient. Thank you so much sir
I'm getting one !! Thanks for a great video!
And the funny thing is I can't find it here in Japan.
Haha, I'll never understand that!

i always had a soft spot for salmon dials
Can somebody tell me what strap he used for the cream dial?
Great video and insight on behind the screen production. What strap was on the bambino? Really worked with the salmon color
Thanks! It's from my Seiko spb210
Awesome video Max, as someone trying to learn this, this video was super helpful!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I'm glad i hit check out on this one!!!
Underrated Bambino line: small second.
Cool bts video.

Veryyyyyyyyy nice video and interesting stories about nice watch.
Tried to buy this very watch from Orient Europe, couldn’t make it happen.
Nice video buddy. Its always so nice to see the set ups of pros like you :)
Thanks! Still learning every day
If only this came in a thinner 36mm case with no date and manual wind. Perfect dress watch for me. And that salmon dial too 🤤
Hopefully we can visit the studio one day, lots of interesting collectors in the watch crunch community
Party time!
I haven't checked out the bambino for a minute, but weren't they under $200 just a few years ago?
Yep. They're going UP! These colors are LE's, as well. Get em now if you can.
Great video. My Alpinist came on such a stiff leather strap it got "file 13ed" immediately. Hope that one's better.
This was from the spb210 and was surprisingly good.
How will I buy this model?
nice channel. just subbed. i’ll roll with you to the top!
Excellent review really cool color
Thank you!
When i saw the video title i thought to myself it better be the orient bambino
Haha, enough teasing 😉
Nice flat - the Barcelona chairs is to die for.
A man with taste 🤝
Ive got one, plus a Le Corbusier chaise lounge, a Wassily chair, and an Eileen Grey end table. Art Nouveau/Art Deco/Mid-century Modern is my thing.
Best color dial
Just got in a Salomon dial Hamilton Intramatic classic 38mm on a trade. I may just keep this one. ❤ 😊
Oh I loooooove that one!
Does it have a loud rotor?
It's not bad, not the smoothest
@@WatchCrunchOfficial thanks! I just bought a Seiko with the 4r36 movement and i noticed that is quiete noisy
Man I love this watch. It seems it's out of stock in the US
In Europe too
@@жора-е6ц7у I ended up buying the dove gray, we'll see how that looks. There's people already selling this salmon dial for like 600 or 700 USD 😒
Do you know where can I buy it not expensive?
@@жора-е6ц7у i bought in orient USA, seems only the dove gray one is available, the rest are sold out.
I saw the baby blue on eBay as well but listed for ~500 USD plus shipping
That salmon dial would look cool with some blued hands
just got one. 180 on JOMA
I'm still waiting for the 38mm bambino with roman numeral
Big bambino theory
What a shame theses colors are limited to 360 from every color! I hope they become regular watches to buy! 360 is just too few !
I want to see Teddy baldassarre on the pod I want you to pick his brain on what opening up an ad was like
Only one small thing: Orient doesn’t have a salmon dial in the Bambino’s…this is their copper dial 😂

somehow, the youtube button looked perfect as it was.
2 minutes after my original post and both the Salmon and Blue dials are out of stock on the Orient website!! Angry Emoji!
The baby blue has been gone for like 4893271489132049387 years now since release lmfaooooo.
That salmon looks delicious goddamn
So rich 👌
I hate the water resistant logo. It ruins all the Orient watches that have it unfortunately.. I wish it didn't say anything or said automatic.
Don't fix thé youtube sign on thé wall, look soooo cool that way, max would you give me a shout out next Time on vidéo, since i'm your #1french parisien Guy in thé univers ? Thx, keep UP thé really good work, Frédéric
already sold out!!!!!!!!!
Message me and I'll send you mine 😉
Best dress watch for under $400
Someone say salmon ? 🍣
🤤🤤
Hey max and team, I happen to love editing and watches, it'll be amazing if we could work together :)
38mm👍
What???👍👍
No saphire no buy for me. Sorry Orient!
😂
I wouldn't consider buying a Bambino until they change from mineral crystal to sapphire.
If you are 60 and above and on a tight budget - for for this watch

Pink is more the ok on a CONFIDENT man……👀
