Eyeing the Orient Star WZ0261EL

[Benzadmiral]

Hello, all,

I haven't posted here in a long while, mainly because I haven't been watch shopping. Nothing in my (admittedly limited) price range appealed to me. Then, somehow, I ran across the Orient Star WZ0261EL (see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfdEbdXTu58).

I am amazed at how beautiful and 1950s-60s the watch looks, partly because of that domed crystal. So I'm probably going to pull the trigger, as they say, on one from the Watches88 people. Before I do, has anybody had trouble with this model, or this seller (a search here seems to hint at "no to both")? What kind of accuracy can I expect? And the major difference between the EL models and the regular Orients, the "Bambino," for example, is that the Orient Star handwinds and hacks -- or is it also generally much more accurate than models like the "Bambino"?

ETA: What size strap does it take, 22mm or what? I might order a black leather strap to go with it so I can switch 'em out.

Thanks in advance!

i've been eyeing the non-gold version...and its stated here 20mm lug width.
WZ0251EL?Orient Star?????????????

i doubt there will be much difference in accuracy, my orient mako ran +4s / day which is already pretty good.
the orient bambino you really need to see and hold it, it is much cheaper, and you could probably feel it anyway...tho whether its worth paying up to 3x as much for the orient star is up to you.
