As this is my first Kuruno, I find the dial and case very well made even when viewed through a 10x loupe. I was expecting the auto winding rotor to be a lot noisier but it is not too bad, tolerable. I don't like the leather strap at all, will get that swapped with something else in my 19mm collection of straps.
Otherwise I'm happy with it, would be a lot happier if customs didn't add 20% to the price. But that's ok, less Starbucks for a few months should fix it.

website says 20mm lugs fyi

Good thing you mentioned it. It was late last night when I measured it.

19mm would have been a bummer.
20mm, I've got plenty of straps to replace the stock strap that I don't like!

Nice save

Any new deliveries?
Mine is below 44** and still not shipped :(

Watchflair · 15 July 2021, 05:08 AM

Seeing them all over the gram - cool piece - love that dial! Such variation depending on the light. Although I'd like mine sooner rather than later I'm good waiting until September October - perfect leather strap weather.

Alec Baldwin posted his on the gram a few weeks ago -

Went to Alec Baldwin's post about receiving his Kurono and read the comments....bad idea. The ignorance is outstanding.

That's because he tagged Hajime Asaoka in the photo not Kurono -

nellyregulate · 19 July 2021, 09:45 PM

44xx and just received shipping confirmation overnight.

athens7 · 19 July 2021, 10:50 PM

Order number sequence is nice, but I have a Chrono 2 order #34xx. Still no sign of it and no communication. I think Kurono has exceeded their capabilities, trying to deliver 3 watches at the same time (Grand Akane, Chronograph 2, and Toki). This is similar to what people report with Hajime Asaoka HH pieces, as well.

They are selling a box now. For 300++USD i can't fathom who will buy it. Anyone bought their non watch offerings before and do you think its worth it?

I'm going to try and buy it

The box they released in the past was incredibly beautiful and the craftsmanship was impressive to say the least.

I bought their limited edition hiroshige watch strap. Really, really good quality imho.

Nice! Which model did you put it on?

The copper Reiwa. Was pleasantly surprised how well they worked together.

athens7 · 1 August 2021, 09:30 AM

I bought a Wakatake-iro strap. It is very attractive, but the bamboo color limits its use. I hope it will work on my Chrono 2 (if I ever get it).

_speedmaster_ · 1 August 2021, 12:48 PM

I was very torn on getting the wakatake. Didn’t think it would have fit anything i had so I didn’t get it, but I love it.

I wish these came in 18mm lug width so I can use them on my vintage Seikos.

It looks very nice and well made - honestly I want it. Perfect for my book case.
