The Orient Bambino RA-AC0001S10B is the white Arabic-numeral dress watch in this case family: a rose gold-tone steel case, dark brown leather, and a date at 3. It is the brown-strap sibling of the black-leather RA-AC0003S10B, not the stick-index Version 4 the old listing described, and not an open-heart.
On the wrist it reads as a formal automatic. The dial is white, with Western Arabic numerals from 1 to 12, a dotted minute track, and the script “Water Resistant” above 6. The date window sits at 3. Several gallery frames show dark hands. One close-up shows blue hands. The listing photos do not agree, so this page does not lock a hand colour. The case and the pin buckle are rose gold-tone stainless steel, not solid gold. The strap in the photos is dark brown crocodile-pattern leather with a light lining and an Orient buckle.
What the RA-AC0001S10B is, and is not
This is an earlier Bambino reference, not a current-catalogue model and not a numbered limited edition. The old page called it Version 4 and listed a 13 mm case with a 40 mm diameter. The photos are an Arabic-numeral dial, which is the layout used on the Version 5 sibling RA-AC0003S10B. Watchard lists this reference at 40.5 mm wide and 11.8 mm thick, with a 21 mm strap. Another retailer lists about 13 mm thick, and a third lists about 12 mm. Those thickness figures disagree, so they are stated as a range rather than one official number. The lug width used here is 21 mm. A 22 mm figure that still appears in some size filters is not the measurement from those sheets.
One shop sheet calls the crown screw-down. The photos show a standard dress crown, not a diver crown. Treat it as pull-out. The case back in the gallery is an exhibition window with an Epson mark. A sample serial is not readable enough to publish, and an older origin stamp on a photo is not a claim about every unit.

Who it suits
Buy this if you want a white-dial Bambino with Arabic numerals and a warm case tone, and you can live with a 30-metre dress watch. It is a poor pick if you need a swim watch, a steel bracelet, or a stick-index dial.

Frequently asked questions
What movement is in the Orient Bambino RA-AC0001S10B?
Calibre F6724. It is an automatic with hand-winding and hacking, 22 jewels, and about 40 hours of power reserve. It is not the open-heart calibre F6T22.
What size is the RA-AC0001S10B?
Watchard lists 40.5 mm wide, 11.8 mm thick, and a 21 mm strap. Another retailer lists about 13 mm thick, and a third lists about 12 mm. A 40 mm figure in some filters is coarser than the Watchard sheet.
Is the case solid gold?
No. The case, crown, and buckle are rose gold-tone stainless steel. The photos are not a solid-gold watch.
Is this a Version 4 Bambino?
No. The old listing used a Version 4 description. The dial in these photos uses Western Arabic numerals, the same face layout as the Version 5 sibling RA-AC0003S10B, with a brown strap instead of black.
Are the hands black or blue?
The gallery does not agree. Several frames show dark hands. One close-up shows blue hands. The page does not pick one colour from that mix.
How water resistant is the RA-AC0001S10B?
30 metres, or 3 bar. That covers splashes. It is not a watch for the pool or the sea.
