NWA! KUOE Old Smith 90-002 🪴

The reason I sold the Mojito was because I bought the Starlight. This in turn caused a bit of a problem as I suddenly had the urge to buy another green watch. So I looked at one of the empty spots in my watch box, which is supposed to house the Casio F-91W. But it never actually goes in there, I always leave the Casio out for ease of access, since it's so inexpensive. 

Therefore I felt a bit less guilty when I bought this watch, and why should I be. I first saw this watch in an advertisement when I was scrolling through Instagram, and I usually get plenty of obscure watch ads, but this one caught my attention. It's been on my mind ever since, and since I knew this watch came in green, I decided it's the right time to buy it. A very solid watch, with a vintage look (inspired by Smiths W10), small size, a nice and simple green textured dial, and an optional domed sapphire crystal. Also, it's always satisfying supporting a legitimate microbrand.

I forgot all about this beauty! It used to tease me on the Insta as well. Hand wind IIRC. You are justified in choosing this over the F-91W!

It's definitely a looker! Although, I didn't actually choose it over the F-91W, it's just I won't place the $20 casio in the watch box anymore, and it'll probably be somewhere I can just grab with ease.
