Strap options?

Picked up the Old Smith 90-002 in bronze with the in store only green dial. Wondering what other straps people love for this watch.

Would really want a brown leather with bronze accents!

+ 1 second - Kuoe 90-006

After 3 consecutive days of use, it's going up 1 second. The Miyota 9000 series is a delight.

Few words are needed when you see the photos of the Kuoe Royal Smith 90-006.

In person, it's a wonderful watch, especially the crystal, which creates a very interesting magnifying effect when viewed from the side. I bought it in Japan when I went to visit my wife's family.

I hope this brand has a very bright future.

I’ve been thinking about getting this watch for an awhile and glad they opened a location in Tokyo. Also picked up a green dial sombrero for my Father in law.

Happy Mother’s Day

Picked this up at the store in Kyoto last month. I’ve been really happy with it. Already getting some patina.

Got my Old Smith 38mm for Christmas. I love it and it has been my daily wear. However, I've always had to manually wind the watch every couple of days. I sent it back to Japan from the USA, and it was covered under their warranty. They even reimbursed my shipping costs to return it and sent it back overnight. Customer Service was great. However, it has the same issue. I've just been winding it every morning as part of my routine. I don't want to send it back again, but now I'm becoming concerned about the wear of winding it every day. Is this a common issue?
