KUOE OLD SMITH 90-007vsVenezianico Redentore Bronzo

Owners widely praise the KUOE OLD SMITH for its distinctive vintage aesthetic, with specific admiration for the blue hands that pop in sunlight and the satisfying chunky numerals. The watch is considered a discreet dress or office option, with one owner cherishing it despite an initial defective crown. The 38mm size is noted as a perfect fit by one owner, while another finds the 35mm size and 12mm thickness can be problematic on smaller wrists. The $635 price is considered high for the NH38 movement and standard specifications, though some believe the premium is justified by Kuoe's unique design language and microbrand status. Accuracy is reported at -5 seconds per day, but the Super-LumiNova is weak. Overall, owners rate the KUOE OLD SMITH highly for its unique design and cherished vintage aesthetic at the price.

Owners widely praise the Venezianico Redentore Bronzo's beautiful dial and the quality of finishing on its hands. Reviewers note the comfortable 40mm case and its good finishing for the price. One owner reports accuracy within ±3 seconds per day with a 60-hour power reserve. The leather strap lacks quick-release pins, and the optional bracelet's finishing is not as refined as the case. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Venezianico Redentore Bronzo highly for its artistic dial and excellent case finishing at its price point.
