In reply to John. I have a 62 omega seamaster that covers me for dress.(very few occasions). But this watch is a head above others in the price range. Stunning watch.

In reply to Sven. Where did you get the strap from?

In reply to Sven. I ended up getting the blue dial V4 in early 2020. It’s gorgeous and wears smaller than you’d think given the specs. It’s my work watch (desk job). I ditched the stock strap and put it on a dark brown leather instead. It’s a keeper.

Thanks for the article, I am considering getting one and your article was helpful. In regards to the AF, I agree AF is some much more likely to be clarifying it is an automatic, and not the less professional version. It is also possible that it was written by a someone who introduced it knowing it’s double meaning, maybe even sneaking it past an older out of date editor. The world may never know. Thanks again.

In reply to Bennett Smith. What's wrong with them stating it's a Modern Automatic Function? That's exactly what the watch is, in essence.

In reply to Kaz Mirza. It could also be read as automatic function watch. That would be more likely.

In reply to Bennett Smith. Sorry, that's 2020, not 2030. I am not writing you from the future.

I’m just reading this great review on 8/3/2030. I have a 60th anniversary Orient that’s visually very similar to a Bambino. I like it. But I agree that Orient is not a watch I’d hold onto my for my son to keep as an heirloom. It’s a nice, but still budget-minded mechanical watch.

Oh. As of today, it still says Modern AF. Nothing but class over at Orient.

In reply to Joe.

Joe:

“Modern AF” is short for “Modern As Fuck” – “As Fuck” being used to express something to the highest degree. So “Modern As Fuck” basically means “Extremely Modern” – “AF” is incredibly unprofessional and its usage here on Orient’s site is a huge miss by their marketing vendor. They’re trying to sound youthful and edgy, but they’re just presenting themselves as juvenile and overly pandering to a younger market (who generally sees right through these sort of things).

I guess I’m an idiot. I don’t know what “Modern AF” is or is supposed to mean.
