Good Sir, I appreciate your quiet spoken descriptions, wholly lacking of hype. Kuoe is now definitely on my 'watch to chose & buy list'. Thank You ! FMR Intelligence Officer
My son and I were at this store some days after grand opening in may 2024. Great store, very nice sales persons and amazing watches for reasonable prices. We both love to wear our KUOE watches. Highly recommend to step in ... Btw. beautiful watch, that you've choosen.
Thanks for this. I completely agree with your assessment of the watch purchasing experience at the flagship store in Kyoto. I purchased the Old Smith larger (38mm) in bronze, ref. 90-002L, green dial. I believe the calibre is the Seiko NH38. Love the vintage British field watch esthetic. Excellent purchase experience and value. I was out the door, including a butterfly strap closure for $429.00 USD. I love what these guys are doing!
Thank you for making the video, I’ve been eyeing this piece. Was this the 35mm or 38mm model? I’m more tempted to buy now that they offer a 38mm version. Also did the 5 look a bit misaligned to anyone else or maybe just an angle of the video.
Wow almost impulse and bought online. I told myself I would get in person but it’s hard to resist. But if it’s much cheaper in person then maybe it’s better to experience that whole watch buying experience
A year ago my dad gave me his late friend's 1969 Seiko 5 which made me remember how much I appreciate classic, understated, sleek Japanese watch designs. A couple months ago I decided to get a passport and burn some airline miles and as a joke I said "maybe I'll fly to Japan and get a couple Seikos." As luck would have it I saw a Kuoe ad a day or so later. Makes it easy to plan an itinerary... but man this is turning into an expensive joke about flying for free around the world to buy a watch 😂
By The Way, I also have a slim wrist. If you’re looking at Speedys but the 42 mm dial is too large check out the new Heuer Carreras. Lateral clutch/column wheel, 33 jewels…….and 39 mm! Called the Glass Box. I got the gorgeous blue dial with the date at the 6:00. Has 100 M wr to boot so………give it a look!
I really fell in love with the KUOE Old Smith. The classic size, the sophistication, the quality. Love it!

I got a model today and can't wait to see it. I have a 5.5-inch wrist, and I have the same issues with finding a watch that fits.

Congrats! Planning a visit myself in September, looking forward :)

They look great quality. They are on my list now.
Congratulations, it looks incredible. You did good, imo.
I love my Kuoe 90-002 in navy.
Nice one ! They've great watches . Denture cleaning tablets in water will take the patina off very well . I prefer the patina .
That's a very interesting method, but I'll probably stick with the patina as well

Stunning watches. I love mine.
I want an Old Smith too. Great vid! Thanks
lol saw your post on Reddit 👍. Going to get the same watch as you, but in 38mm. I really like having numbers on the watch.
Cheaper in the store? So I just need a flight to Japan and I can save money!
I adore this brand and am saving to buy one.
If you want an old rusty vibe I recommend Italian vintage green leather strap 😊
