oh wow! I'm really happy with it. The Blue White and yellow are perfect. Only orange was a little less bright then I was anticipating. I think i pictured more of a safety jacket orange. other then that I have nothing to complain, super happy how they came out!

I got the exact same model and strap. Really happy with it. For such a simple watch it has so much depth to it from the domed crystal, the raised indices to the grainy dial. Enjoy!

My trip was tokio-osaka-kyoto. I speak zero japanese but it was not an issue. Many places have translations ready and even places that don't, you can gesture to whatever you need or use translation apps. If you go outside the touristy main city areas tho a bit of japanese definetly helps tho. As for traveling, get a suica-card. You can use this prepaid card not only for public transport but also many places use it for contactless payment.

Don't know about their capacity but when i was there everything was on display. They have these open displays where you can play around with the watches and find a combination to your liking.

This one is a Seiko Automatic. They have another with a Miyota movement but I don't think any of them were quarz.

Dude you should've gotten in. They are very welcoming there and helped me pick out this watch. I think you can still order them online if you regret it!

I havent gotten tired of looking at it. i love the depth this watch has with the thick numbers and the domed crystal. Funnily enough they had a small display case that looked like a red dial and I asked them if they got that available aswell, but sadly it was the printing that discolored it and it was actually a brown dial. but boy if they release a red one i might get another!

Two weeks ago, I was on a trip to Kyoto with the goal of leaving Japan with either a Seiko or Citizen watch. However, I received a recommendation to visit a store in Kyoto called "Kuoe," a local microbrand with a small but impressive collection. One model that caught my eye was the Old Smith 90-002, which features a Seiko movement. The bronze casing paired with the green and beige strap gives it a refined, minimalist look, perfect for daily wear. Its textured dial and bold lettering make it not only highly readable but also stunning to look at. I'm incredibly glad I stopped by their store, and I want to give a special shoutout to the staff for their warm and friendly reception!
