KUOE OLD SMITH 90-007vsUndone Basecamp Cali Blue

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.

The Undone Basecamp Cali Blue is praised for its attractive, vintage-feeling California dial and subtle texture, with owners appreciating the 40mm case fit and customization options. Reviewers note the desirable, affordable timepiece features a textured Cali dial and 100m water resistance. Some drawbacks mentioned include the lack of a date function and a 15mm thickness, exacerbated by a chunky strap. The watch is powered by a Seiko NH35 automatic movement and features a friction bezel. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Undone Basecamp Cali Blue highly for its unique dial design and value.
