I see that Orient has released certain models of the Bambino fitted with a factory bracelet. Has anyone got any experience of it and the quality (or lack of?).

Also, I'm curious if it would fit my Bambino Small Seconds.

I have the white dial version with the factory bracelet. I realize that judging "the quality (or lack of)" is subjective, but personally, I like it. It looks good to my eye-- but I am a buyer of sub $300 watches-- so take my opinion with a grain of salt. More importantly in my view, the bracelet has a great fit. It's not rattly or clanky. If I rotate my wrist back and forth, I hear the movement, not the bracelet.

No idea if it will fit the small seconds. The case looks identical to my 2nd gen version 3 save for the exhibition back, but I have not tried to swap the bracelet. It's a shame Orient USA doesn't sell the bracelet separately.

Thanks guys. Yeah, after I posted here I tried to track down the bracelet but, as rkbry said, it's not sold separately so it's a moot point really I guess. My experience with the Seiko SKX jubilee bracelet was not good so I'm probably a bit fussy about bracelets anyway. I'll stick to tracking down a nicer strap - an easier task I think.
