Wow look at that dial! These are really elegant. I have a big wrist so I think it might be fine with it's 40mm. You are right about the finer details. Sapphire would be nice. All in all a really pretty watch! Have a great Friday bro!
Seiko definitely makes some great pieces at this price point, even with the increase in prices in my opinion. But the GS comment lol ouch. I probably disagree there 😆.
amzwatch You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
I love the presage models they make at 38mm, but I’ve got a smaller wrist. The 40mm just don’t look right for me in a dress watch style. I guess big boys need dress watches too. Seems weird for a Japanese brand to be the ones making them though.
I got a couple of Presages. Sold a Mojito, it was too much for me. I got a SRPB41J1 with that blue degradee to black ( Legend ) and a SRPC03J1 Fubuki Sakura ( this is a dial )
Well….I’ve had exposure to these cocktail times, and owned a significantly higher end JDM with the SARX035 and I have to say these GS comparisons do irritate me. Yes, you acknowledged that the the GS is better and pointed out the price difference, but that doesn’t even scratch the surface. As I mentioned, having had owned the SARX035 which was famously referred to as the “Baby Grand Seiko” while it is a good watch, when I got my GS, I was shocked by how much better it actually was, because many people said the SARX line was a near-as-makes-no-difference replacement for a GS. I didn’t buy that, but I thought it might be in the same city if not the same ballpark…but it’s not in the same universe. It’s a night and day difference and the comparison is inappropriate, imo. It’d be like saying “Yes a Submariner is great but so are G shocks and you can buy 200 of them instead.” While true, it misses the point.
@@visiblemode Agree 👍🏼 FYI I’ve owned several Grand Seikos, but ended up selling all of them. The quality is not even close to Seiko, but your paying a pretty penny.
I strongly dislike this case. The lines are very uninspired and far from pleasant. It's also cheaply finished for the price point. Could do with some downsizing to 38mm. As is, it's too large a dial to be considered a dress watch. Also, mineral crystal? You find great sapphire with AR on $80 watches these days
Great looking piece man! I agree, Seiko needs to just give us sapphire already lol. Makes me miss my SARX and Fuyugeshiki. Awesome vid as always! 😎🙌
@@DavidSchwartzjr Seiko, the people have spoken, we need sapphire!! Thank you for your support brother!
Beautiful watch. great review!
While more expensive, the "sharp edge" Presage offerings are well worth a look too. Dials to die for.

@@timelesssneakersandwatches 😂 the GS comment was on point and you know it 😂 thank you 🙏 for watching!
@@SoCalWatchReviews LMAO 🤣 nope!
There all about the dial, particularly fond of the " mojito" .
@@stephengarratt8027 Yeah that one is super cool!

I'm sick and tired of all " watch reviewers " complaining about the sizes. Not so long ago 40mm was considered small, even for a dress watch.
@@urbanus3546 I love 40 mm dive watches, but like my dress watches smaller 👍🏼
totally agree, smaller watches seem to be a fad right night. Lots of big men rocking female sized watched.
I agree. GS don't look as slick as some S
