nice watch with nato strap right? is this mako xl right?  sweat.gif

It's a hacked Nato Strap from a smaller Timex Weekender, that is why the strap doesn't fit 100% as it is 1mm shorter in width.

This is the Mako, but not XL. You can tell the difference by looking at the face, there are numbers instead of just a shape to represent the hours. smile.gif

There are plenty of places that sell XL, I've seen a few in Klang, I think there is a specialty shop in Pavillion (think got 15-20% discount with the CIMB CC) or you can walk about Masjid India area and just browse the old uncle watch shops. They usually have a selection of Orients.

The last place I tried it Mako on was at Central Market, 2nd floor. There is a shop there that I usually goes to change my battery and they also carry quite a range of Orients. nod.gif

You can definitely find it in the Solar Time in Empire Subang. I went to test it that day icon_idea.gif

Wanted the champagne version, but no more sad.gif

All the manliest of men that did bayonet charges against maxim machine gun positions, braving certain death while attempting to scale the peak of Everest without oxygen or high tech gear wore 34mm or smaller watches.

Such elegant quote blush.gif

I'm in two minds on it.. This will probably be alongside my Mako as my daily beater.. I am honestly not sure if I'm comfortable in having a 1k watch as a daily beater.. but by god, the looks .. drool.gif

Watches are meant to be worn be it a Casio or a Patek grand complication.  If you like it, buy it and wear it lah.

listed it far cheaper.

Lazada is certainly not the place to buy watches.

Guys i plan to buy a watch for my dad. My budget is around rm500, so i think orient is kinda suit my budget. Can u guys give advise what orient model can i buy with my budget? My father is 70+ years old. And i wanna buy the bracelet watch instead of leather band. Can u guys suggest? Thanks.

Try the Orient Union. Should be around your budget. It's conservative as well so it suitable for your father.

Same. Orient models usually have few different colours one.

I'm not sure who carries it though, all the best!

went and looked at the new bambino today...looks pretty nice in real life too.
seems a little bit bigger than the bambino v1 due to the dial design with markers extending all the way out.
the grey dial doesnt look too bad in that bad light, but the blue dial looks abit boring...probably needs to be seen in nice sunlight.

Still think they made a mistake with the hands.

nitpicking only...
perhaps if it was just a little thinner...but it still goes well with overall design that takes cues from vintage pieces...just like how bambino v1 and v2 do...but without being a straight out copy of anything really.
Nitpicking la.. Should have been thinner to compliment the ticks and should have given it a bit more depth than just that slapdash bland metal tweezer look. Can't argue I really like the face.

There has always been just one small thing here and there with Bambino that have prevented me from getting it.

Yea, I could be wrong but the last time when I was looking around, the uncle shops generally don't differentiate much between colours. Only the model (Mako v Mako XL) .. But I think I've ever only see the pepsi dial in Solar Time or something, never really noticed those in uncle shops..
