[question] Small, affordable, automatic dress watch? (alien.top)

I have a 36mm Bambino that I bought back in 2019 for about $250 USD and I absolutely adore it. I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere anymore, and I've heard Orient discontinued the line.

I wanted to gift my groomsmen each a dress watch for my upcoming wedding and the 36mm Bambino seemed like the perfect choice since they always compliment me on it. They all have small wrists and prefer a dial < 38mm. Any comparable automatic small watches (~36mm dial) that I can look into? Considered the Time Marlin, but turns out many of them already have one.

Unfortunately my budget isn't massive ($1000-1500 split between 3 groomsmen).

Thanks!

Kuoe old Smith is a 35mm automatic and they have some other small watches with a similar dressy design.

The seiko Dolce line of watches is 34mm for the men's version. It's not automatic but it has a HAQ movement (10s/year accuracy or something like that).

I second the Kuoe recommendation
