For $140.99 ($99.99 + $14 re-ship + $27 zoll), I would say this was not a deal. I can buy the same model here locally for less. But, oh well...I am not a huge gambler, so did not expect much.
That's disappointing, but at least it looks nice?
...meh. Perhaps it will grow on me....or find its way to ebay. We’ll see.

It's got a very 70s vibe with the green and gold. You just need to pair it with the right outfit. Something like this from the '76 Sears Wishbook should do the trick. :lol: (I kid, I kid.)

Too perfect....challenge accepted.

Edit: I think what irks me most is there was no gold-with-green-dial Bambino shown on MD as one of the 15 possible models...and I JUST scratched the 70’s green-dial itch with this:
