Took my Orient Bambino out for its first test drive last night
For the times when a dive watch just doesn't fit. This was a donor appreciation event for a local performing arts venue

Just arrived today!
I needed a dress watch for those few times when I wear a jacket, or suit, or tux. (Times when I don’t think a dive watch with a steel bracelet (my EDC) is appropriate.) I don’t anticipate using it a whole lot, but for the price, this is awesome (and just what I need)

Watch recognition in the wild [Longines Legend Diver 39]
I try really hard to be understated in how I dress and carry myself. I have no desire to buy a watch that I think is obnoxious and status-seeking. Even if I had the money I'd never buy an RM or Jacob & Co for example. So i was surprised the other day when we went to a local joint after dinner for a slice of pie and coffee. The server commented on my watch - "Is that a Longines?" It turns out that he was a watch enthusiast and we talked about wrist sizes, case materials, complications, band/bracelet materials, etc. It's the only time someone has asked me about the watch I was wearing and it was a nice, unexpected moment
