Nice price, I'm patiently waiting for V7 to drop down the low $200 range

Good choice, I may add that to my list, what are the chances of sub $200 anytime in the next year?
I think 38mm would be the best, at least on my wrist. They are a pretty simple and clean dial so no need to be huge.
The black version is $20 more, i like the improved legibility, probably not as dressy though.
ps. Black ORIENT Bambino SAC00004B0 40.5mm also $229 https://www.amazon.com.au/Automatic-Overseas-manufacturer-gu…
Good choice, I may add that to my list, what's a good price?
I don't think they've ever gotten as low in price as the 40.5mm models because they're newer models (although they're nearly 2 years old now).
According to camel3x, the lowest this listing has ever reached is $342.83.
I think 38mm would be the best, at least on my wrist.
IMO the 38mm one looks objectively better than the 40.5mm one, on any wrist. With dressy styles I feel like the bezel:dial ratio looks wrong when you get to 40mm+
@beltdrive: I'd probably bite if it were around $300 then. May be waiting forever for $200 if the larger models are still over that.
Agreed, 38mm looks great. Would be hard to decide between black and white, suppose white is the more popular model but I only try and buy watches that are easily legible in general. Any closer to $400 and may as well get a Komasu, which would see considerably more wear (personally).
@beltdrive: Yeah it's one I've always liked, not too many faults but very competitive in the $400-500 category for divers.
I think I have enough as well and the Komasu is harder to get cheap in AUS these days. Still a bit on the dressy side to be a beater as well (got a titanium Citizen ny0100-50m which is good for that). Am trying to diversify the collection too, but divers are my favourite to be honest).
@G-rig: back in stock special Kamasu

green highlight shown on bezel
@pissedpoor: Yeah ordered it, I think the price is pretty good for that dial and sapphire.
Would probably upgrade the end links to solid, and clasp to milled.
I imagine I'm not the first one to want to do this, so will search around.
I would also like a bigger crown, that one always looked undersized with a large gap, it is signed though.. hmm.
Cheers,
@G-rig: the bracelets from this one and the racing Seiko arrived yesterday are crappy standard from their stock just different branding on clasps. i already swapped to Nato green (Kamasu) and sky blue/orange matching the Seiko accents
both Seikos received have drilled lugs
@pissedpoor: Yeah no doubt would be an uncle strap or something from AliExpress to replace the whole bracelet.
I checked out Jody's video on those Seiko 5 Sports SSK025K - shame they look too thick with the supplied double pass nato.
I'd end up getting/cutting a cheaper single pass one for that, or a two-piece.
@G-rig: that's why i did not choose it even the numerals were green and PVD case
just a waste of the strap that doesn't fit anything
@pissedpoor: yeah mate it's a waste paying for that nice strap but good to keep when selling.
They should have offered it on a black PVD bracelet I guess.
I find that natos have to be less than ~1mm or the watch sits up too high and doesn't look right.
Can get aftermarket ones cheap enough from Ali etc.

DOGSHYTE!
Enjoy watching his videos. Funny when he loses it 🤣.
I only started watching a few weeks ago. 😅
Hard to understand his blended accent sometimes but when he rages I pickup EVERY word.. 😂
I'll just patiently sit here waiting for a deal on an OoooobLoowww. 🤣
Yeah funny when the tenants next to their studio complained he was too loud lol.
That auto dress watch looks alright, I like the green dial.
I don't tend to wear dress watches but would do somebody I'm sure.
I also saw the Orient Bambino SAC00005W0 Amazon Japan via AU for around the same price.
