Exactly what Bambino needed IMHO since I always found 40mm to be too large for that classic design... and for the caliber also: the date window always too far away from the sphere's edge!

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the proper model (for my tastes) to appear (the rose gold one is near the mark, were it not that I already own a 1961 18K gold Longines).

The all steel or the mixed steel case gold accents in sphere... maybe a subseconds no-date model...

 

These smaller Bambinos didn't seem to get that much attention but Mark from Long Island Watch did make a video covering these models. I think they're a nice down size from the regular Bambino case size, but I wish the lug width was 18mm instead of 17mm and it seems like these models seem to command a higher price point at the moment than their bigger counterparts.

17mm?! What is wrong with Orient?

His store is the only online store in the entire world that has the silver one in stock right now, and it doesn't ship to Australia. FFS.

 

Saw Marc’s vid about the smaller Bambino and was sorely tempted.

 

I like them, and am tempted also. I would want a different dial color though. I already have a white Bambino and Symphony.

 

You can also try to find 36mm Orient President. They are a bit pricey now because of their rarity but they are worth. I own white and blue dial president at present. Both with baton markers. I had the black dial as well but sold like a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for Bambinos at first but since they were big I bought Orient Presidents which are 36mm.

 

If you ever want a 9kt gold 1964 Omega or 14kt gold 1958 Longines hit me up. I am in the middle of funding my other hobby and putting together a Skeeter bass boat.

 

little small for me but i do like these more than the older versions

 

They need to correct the fact that it is marketed as a women’s bambino by many secondary retailers. It looks so much better and proportioned in the smaller size IMO

Maybe it's all of us who should correct the understandment that wearing something "feminine" somehow makes our manlyhood to drop off (which, in turn, it's the basis of some really outlandish rationales on why some object ends up being "feminine" or "masculine").

 

That, and the 21mm on the regular Bambino are irritating. Still great watches, and even better deals though.
