Though I like all of the Orient Bambinos but I can only buy only One at the moment and need your help to choose that One. Out of the below four watches, which one do you like the most?

You can chose max 2 out of the 4 and mention the alphabet in comments. Thanks.

Boy here I was about to suggest GShocks/solar etc lol. I like them all. If I had to pick one it will be A, then D with a diff strap.
 
Would choose A and C. The strap on B looks nice but the blue hands just ruin it for me. D one also looks nice but the french flag strap just doesn't look that good unless you're on a vacation lol
 
Seems like C is the winner. Thanks everyone.

Meanwhile, I happened to stumble upon the breathtaking Tissot's Le Locle Powermatic 80 as well and found some used models for $200. If I am not able to get that, I'll get this Green Bambino for around $100.
 
Well this is awkward. Out of the 4 watches listed, I own 2 - and they got the least amount of votes. :coldsweat:

Anyway, my criteria for choosing the white dials was that I feel it could dress both up and down. The watch is slim enough to slip under a shirt's cuff if you're dressing formally and wearing a suit. On the other hand, the blue hands look great, and give off a casual look when paired with a t-shirt. I don't think I can pull that off with a green dial (black, maybe).

Anyway, this is my personal opinion based on my style, if you think the green can work for you, go for it.

Which are the reliable websites to buy these watches from?

I have bought SKX009 and a Bambino from CreationWatches.com

Some other options but I haven't bought anything from them -
Long Island - Legit
Ethos Watches - Indian store hence prices aren't competitive
Joma Shop
Chrono24.in
Duty Free Island Shop

To avoid customs
- ask the seller to declare the item as a gift
- ask him to declare its value less than <$50
- get the watch without the box
- choose the Indian Post/Cheaper option for shipping and not DHL/Fedex
 
Thanks, I ordered once from a Singaporean shop and it was a good experience. No issues.
But I'm not sure if Long Island and Joma agree to declare lesser value, don't remember.
 
For all watch enthusiasts, I have found another gem, a Russian one btw - www.meranom.com

They have good collection of Vostoks with similar shipping options like CreationWatches. Someone I know through FB has ordered from them as well.

I'll be ordering soon when the watch I am looking for comes back in stock.
 
Yep, I was on the verge of ordering from them a couple of years back. They are reputable and authorised seller.

Been looking for a reliable source for Vostok watches for quite some time. Will try this site soon.
