Just picked got my Kuoe Kyoto ref 90-002

I am absolutely in love with everything about this piece. A near perfect example of a vintage style watch in my opinion as it is not paying tribute to any particular watch rather it takes design elements from the era.

Totally agree with your take. There is beauty in its simplicity. Sweet dial.

I've been very interested in this brand but worry about the size being a little too small.

Fair but it fits me well and I have big wrists

Low key but pretty

Oh man, this is a looker. Are you referring to a Smiths resemblance? It seems like this brand is getting some traffic lately.

The model is called the "Old Smith"

No reference to Smiths the brand.

Thanks a lot for filling me in. I like its dial better than a Smiths. Finally, a Japanese watch company that gives real names to its watches. If this was a Seiko, it would be something like the SMT 6425, Citizen would call it the NMB60427, and of course Casio would go all out and assign it a memorable moniker like ANSR-1107-60031-B.

A few Kuoe watches are starting to show up on the site.

I'm seriously considering one. Having trouble deciding between the black or white. And honestly wondering if the watch still offers a good value with the upgraded dial and crystal.
