My name is Justin and I started my watch journey in 2012 when I was looking for a dressy watch for my first corporate job. I started off with an Orient Bambino (first generation) and I guess it has descended from there. A couple years later I started the conversation for the first meeting for what would be known as the Australian watch club, Calibre 61. We've grown organically since then (and so has my watch collection/journey/tastes). As mentioned earlier, there are three case designs available for this model. These are stainless steel, gunmetal, or gold-finished. We are sorry to hear that, but we would unfortunately not be able to provide any further advice in this scenario as we are unable to ship our products internationally as per our agreement with the manufacturer and so cannot offer any repair services to any customers living outside of the US/ Canada." The watch is everything I expected, beautiful, keeps excellent time and it's a pretty modern looking piece.

Unfortunately, while Orient certainly achieved the classical aesthetic they were going for, the overall look is more on the “ho-hum” side of handsome. The Arabic numerals are too big, taking a face that could have looked discreet and minimal and instead making it look crowded. In this modern age, you're not a "victim" of additional consumption, just of your own principle. 30 years ago, folk would fix a TV that went out. Today, we just replace TVs due to cost/time benefit. The watch is relatively cheap and disposable. We have discussed this matter with upper management, and they have agreed to service your watch here in the US, under the condition that you read and accept the following terms and conditions regarding our international repair service policy:

The case of this gorgeous watch has an average diameter of 41 mm, with a thin profile of 12 mm. The Orient Symphony also has small short lugs, which will keep the watch short. The dial is also kept clean and refined, with minimal text, only containing ”Orient”, ”Automatic”, and ”Water resist”. The average turnaround time for repairs is 6-8 weeks, but it would likely be much longer at this time due to our service station being closed as a result of COVID-19, plus the transit time each way. The Orient Symphony II also makes a great gift to a father, a brother, a son or a friend who may not know much about watches yet. The combination of affordable price and durability makes it easy on the wallet, and resilient to a new user who may not be familiar or want to deal with watch care. Although not everyone will fall in love with this kind of design, its conservatism and simplicity is something that I feel can be generally appreciated. On the other hand, I would be hesitant to expose a 30-meter water-resistant watch to more than just the occasional splash. I think of it as a sort of a sibling rivalry. The Bambino is the cool and popular older brother who is all talk while the Symphony is the quiet and reserved younger brother who keeps his head down and gets the job done.

The dial of the Orient symphony is beautiful and extremely classy. In addition, it is also beautifully finished with great attention to detail that gives the impression that this watch is much more expensive than it actually is. That said, and as you have stated, I am equally confident this is unlikely to happen after the repair for two reasons: I not a precious kind of person and am a fairly humble watch enthusiast and would like to think that if I needed assistance be that my independent Halios or independent d.m.h. jumping hours or Stowa Flieger or FC Moonphase or Grand Seiko SBGW231 or Rolex 14060, I would be able to find it (and be able to pay for it). If I still have no other options, I will have to use a drop shipper or speak to friends that reside in USA.

What makes the classic Orient Bambino model great – and for the most part, Orient watches in general – is an attention to detail and quality not typically found at this price point. The Orient Bambino’s Mad Men-worthy retro look and 41mm case diameter make it appealing to contemporary tastes: it feels classy yet not wimpy on the wrist. Its minimal dial, dauphine hands, and sculptural metal indices for hour markers feels modern and classic enough to work in a lot of environments. The period-correct domed crystal – a difficult feature to achieve in an affordable watch – enhances the retro vibe. But the Bambino isn’t the only story when it comes to Orient’s dress offerings. The terms and conditions stated make sense and are acceptable, particularly in relation to timing delays, responsibilities with cost, tax and insurances and other latent logistical costs. Az Orient 200M vízállósággal ellátott búváróráit nem csak a búvárkodás szerelmesei viselik szívesen, hanem az óra rajongók, gyűjtők, vagy csak egyszerűen egy szépés pontos órára vágyó emberek is.

This watch uses the Cal. 48743 automatic self-wind movement made in house by Orient. The usage of automatic movement means that it basically does not uses any battery like a quartz watch.You can also try reaching out to distributors in neighboring countries to see if any of them would be able to assist you further in this matter. You can view a list of the worldwide official distributors sorted by region here." Not knowing where to go, I turned to a local trusted watchmaker and was advised that the mainplate had been unusually worn or elongated, hence the reason the stem wouldn't engage into movement. For now, I have just assumed this was user error. Besides, the watch would be well out of warranty. Sorry, um, is that not part of the definition of consumption is it not? I am no economist but yes, the cost/time ratio has shifted with time rendering items requiring service, disposable. Again, not sure what you're getting at by accusing my principles as the issue here.

Authenticity

Overall, the movement is a robust and has been used in many Orient’s for many years without much issues, though I kinda feel Orient should upgrade all of their watches with their newer movement.
