Any new buys from Orient?

I just impulse ordered my 80th Bambino from Amazon. Anyone else dip into the Orient pool?

(Exaggerating a little on the 80th).

Have noticed it on a Timex Marlin that cost double a Bambino.

I'm about to have another Orient incoming. Already have the Maestro.

Kamasu in Red soon.

I think on the Orient site when you buy one the 1st time you get 10% off.

Always good to appreciate great watches.

Have the Kamasu in red. Switched to a black rubber strap and it's the most value watch purchase I've ever made

Have a Bambino V2 (roman numerals). Classy looking watch for the price and no stress when I bang it into a doorway, etc. Also have a dive-style model (called Kanno by the US importer) that I picked up while wasting time in a Yodabashi Camera store in Tokyo. I have to admit I don't ever wear it, but it has sentimental value and I like that the day-of-week wheel has Japanese kanji since it's a JDM version.

Curious about the slightly higher-end Orient Star line. If they come out with a model that's 40mm or smaller and doesn't have an open heart dial, I will probably pick one up just for fun.
