that orient isn't a long shot considering your budget. you have it on amazon for 135€, there are warehouse deals for it regularly (used goods, usually in very good shape), the last one was a few days ago for 103€. install the amazon price tracker called keepa, start tracking its price and i'm sure you'll have a good deal in a few weeks.

you can also browse some shops for ideas:

as for straps, as long as it's not an integrated strap you can always replace the bracelet (steel strap) with leather or whatever you prefer, so if you see something that you like that only comes with a bracelet, don't let it be a dealbreaker.

one cool youtube channel to check: https://www.youtube.com/c/JustOneMoreWatch i used to follow him, he's got a distinctive style and voice but he's a genuine watch fan and might have a similar wrist size to you.

as for the size: 40-41mm can be a sweet spot for medium sized wrists, but there's no rule of thumb. some watches wear smaller than expected, and some wear larger. i usually check not only the diameter but the lug to lug size too and don't even consider anything over 50mm of lug 2 lug. the black gshock i posted has a 45mm+ diameter which normally would be gigantic but a lug 2 lug of only 48.5mm so it's a nice fit even for smaller wrists. long lugs and big dials make watches wear larger.

it's an endless topic, so i'll leave it like that for now. let us know if you need any feedback on an idea.

Thanks. I will check that channel.

As for Amazon and import I'm not sure but I don't think that's a good idea. As we're not a part of EU we pay heavy prices for anything over 50e. I'm pretty sure they would rape me for anything of that price range.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

then find a friend living in germany who'll return to christmas. i'm sure there are plenty of smugglers in serbia too

do you have an active watch enthusiast community on fb? we have at least a dozen of groups and some dealers sometimes post insane prices. you could also ask one to find the cheapest bambino for you. or buy a used one. watches can last a lifetime. unless it's beat to shit (which is obvious at first sight) you can't go wrong with a used watch, especially if you have it checked with a watchmaker

I’m busy bringing some set which allows you to build your own watch here on the market. Basically the watch will arrive in parts: the movement (hand wind), crystal, crown, hands, case, strap and the necessary tools all in one set that you can build. Hope that I can start selling by the end of the month.

My wrist size is 18cm would that make 37-38mm too small or not? I couldn't find a decent watch to test and I have no time, gotta run back and sleep some more

You can go all the way to 42-43, i dont think small watches look good on men unless it's rectangular cartier style

Battery powered or does it run with the tears of Juventus fans?

It features Allegri alarm mode where instead of alerting you at the set time, Weston McKinnie just flashes on the dial briefly to deceive.

 

[Cerval]

Ew. Why would I want a JJ logo on my watch! Kill it with fire

Battery runs out after 60 mins

The mode that fails to wake you up frequently, but it's normal of course

Yes! Instead of alarming you, it just makes you comatose.
