Funny enough I like the aesthetic enough to appreciate 37mm a little more. Nothing beats walking into a store to try 48mm watches wearing a Kurono.

Might anyone be able to confirm from a past purchase that credit card payments on the Kurono Tokyo website have MCC (merchant category code) 5944 (jewelry/watches)?

This is really counter intuitive but my bank said my last payment to Kurono was MCC 5734 (computer software), which is important because this would be disqualified for certain luxury shopping card rewards.

A reminder that the new anniversary piece is being offered for purchase today, for those interested. I like the aesthetic and color blocks, but I’m still on the fence given that I already have excess pieces.

Kurono confirms they are MCC 5734 (computer software).

I'm in the same boat as having a few pieces including the Toki. But one thing is every time I see a new Kurono, I'm pleasantly surprised by the color. Ended up liking faces I didn't think I would based on the photos.

Yup, I couldn’t resist. I wore my other piece today to test my appreciation. No love lost.

Is there a discussion comparing the various Reiwa models and the Toki? Or the different chronograph variations?

Sold out in 3 minutes. Pretty impressive given the current slow market.
I managed to get an order in for the blue version (which I much prefer). Looking forward to delivery next month!

Anyone getting the New Chronograph P1 Shanghai Special Edition?

The panda dial and special edition is really tempting...

I don't see it as sufficiently different from the preceding chronos. I have the anniversary Hisui and thought I would like it more. Every Kurono is a special or limited edition with a story and will never be repeated...

Love it! I’m convincing myself that it’s different enough from my Chronograph 3 HISUI to justify having both.

Panda dial and the symmetry of swapping the date window for a 6 do it for me!

Same as well! In all honestly, I have not been wearing my Chronograph 3 HISUI much though I like to take it out and admire it from time to time

Somehow the wearability of the strap doesn't make me want to wear it often

Great looking watch, but I recently moved my Chronograph 1 MK.2 Salmon. Wasn't getting any wrist time. I unfortunately feel like this would be the same. I do like it though!
