Bought By: Ian R 🇺🇸 10/22/25 Unit no: 1st Purple Yam is a new addition to the Shiro Kara Vintage Gear 5 collection. This particular piece was sold prior to its official website launched when I posted it at Shirokarawatches instagram account. Originally came with a domed acrylic crystal, but it was upgraded to sapphire at the new owner's request. I must say, the change gives the watch a more modern and sleeker appearance. The watch features an aged white-silver dial with subtle patina, paired with hour hands outlined in black for a cohesive look that complements the dial's black-outlined hour markers. The bezel insert has been aged to a rich purple, giving it a soulful fade that evokes the character of a watch that has lived through many years. All of these details are achieved through my specialized aging techniques, which create its distinct vintage effect. - Shiro Kara 🥨 I can create a similar effect aged effect, but since vintage Shiro Kara watches are all handcrafted, no two pieces will ever develop the exact same patina. Each watch ages uniquely, making every piece one of a kind. This is the actual photo of the watch you will receive . And ready to ship upon purchase . no…
