Lankysudanese's original post highlights the exceptional polishing work on a Hajime Asaoka timepiece, drawing attention to the intricate finishing across the case, lugs, dial elements, hands, numerals, and crown. This level of detail is a hallmark of independent watchmaking, and Lankysudanese's appreciation underscores the artistry involved in achieving such a cohesive and brilliant aesthetic. His observations serve as a valuable starting point for understanding the visual impact of meticulous surface treatment in high horology.

This is a perlon strap, which was showcased with the TOKI on IG by a famous watch journalist. At this point, I’m desperate for anything

First thing i did when I received my dark blue dial Kurono was changing the strap with a aftermarket one that suited my style and taste a bit more too

With its rings on the dial, bold hands, and very unusual metal strap I can't really call this a "bracelet"

Some of the combo’s look good, but I wouldn’t go as far as describing the combination as seamless. Check them out (Delugs).
