Seiko Presage "Urushi" SARX029 

Thank you 😁👍

For sure. Definitely a nice duo with those 2 watches.

That's a great two watch collection. Get a baby snowflake for a classy daily and you'll be golden.

They're definitely amazing dials. Even better in person. Thanks!

I did see some when researching Urushi lacquer. I've been interested in them for quite awhile mostly thanks to KDP Ross's pen videos. Definitely seems like another "down the rabbit hole" hobby though! Thanks:)

You're right for sure. It would suit alot more wrists and likely sell alot better too. Thanks:)

For me, 39mm is a little small.. 40mm is just fine for me.. that just me..

Thanks man. Really happy to have been able to check this one out. Such a gorgeous watch!!

Appreciate that. It's such an eye catcher for sure. I'd seen alot of pictures but this is one but you really need to see in person to fully appreciate the dynamic dial. Enjoy it!

I don't often need a dress watch either. The last wedding I went too I actually forgot to change watches and wore my srp637 Baby Tuna. Looked awesome with a suit if you ask me:) This one though made me rethink my lack of dress watches in the collection. I'd be happy to have maybe one dressier watch in the watch box if it looked like this. Thanks Lee.

Thanks! I was looking at this a a straight dress watch but you're right. With it's bigger size and the right strap it could be pretty versatile. I've been exploring online for one tonight. Haven't pulled the trigger but it's a definite possibility at some point. Take care :)

TimeToGo Travel And Timepieces you can put a Nato on that watch and totally pull off a casual look with jeans and a sweater;)

You prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf these days xD

@Zachary Imran Yea, I've been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)

Man, I tried to capture it on video but in person it's seriously next level. Just bought the Fuyugeshiki Cocktail. Much more affordable but another nicely executed watch from them. Thanks and have a great weekend:)

If you get the chance the dial is really nice in person. A little expensive for sure but a beautiful watch. Thanks Steve.

It's an incredible dial! I'd seen pictures before this came in but I was blown away when I had it in hand. Very dynamic dial with how it plays off the light. The enamel dials look stunning. I'm sure they're even better in person too. Hope to pick one up at some point. Thanks!

Thanks man! Definitely a pretty cool one👊👍

Thanks J! No problem at all and same to you. Really appreciate the opportunity.

Thanks for watching.

It's really impressive. Thanks.

I never did unfortunately. The owner of the watch that leant it to me figured it was stamped leather but I couldn't confirm.

I have to agree with you. An upgraded movement would be nice but the work that's gone into this one definitely adds value to me too. It's really quite a beautiful watch. Thanks!

TimeToGo Travel And Timepieces Definitely beautiful. See a theme going with how Seiko is treating dials on some of their mid/higher tier. Even though not enamel, it brought this one to mind. Thanks again! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oAIuBTbygsU.html

@@jimscopa8685 I've seen those ones a couple times on Instagram I believe. They look great too. Would love to check one out in person sometime. Thanks!

Oh cool! Bet that was such a cool trip!! Such a great watch.👍👍

It was a great trip. It was hard not coming back with a suitcase full of watches. I ended up getting 3 JDM Seikos.

@@chrisg-gg2iu What were the other two if you don't mind sharing?

Chris The other 2 were SARK007 & SARW037

Thanks Chris. Really impressed with this one!

That's the dilemma with some of these new Seiko's. It definitely has that extra craftsmanship going for it that adds value. Just how much value I'm not sure. I will say after seeing this in person I'm considering picking one up myself. Thanks and I'd love to hear what you think if you get one :)

So sorry. Unfortunately not sure. Tried to find out but couldn't find out for sure.

I agree. I think the extra workmanship on the dial adds to the value too.

Thanks Robert! I know, I know...the movement is definitely an issue for alot of people. Still such a beautiful watch though :)

I believe it just looks to be gold.

TimeToGo Travel And Timepieces ok, thank you 🙏🏻

I think the one big difference would be the hand lacquered dial that would push the price up. Not sure what kind of real dollar figure difference that would add to be honest.

Thanks for your reply :) ! Have you ever order seiyajapan ? I am thinking of order one but I am worried about potential custom fees (I am living in France)

@@lucaskurosaki4297 I haven't myself although I know lots of people that have. I hear the customer service is good. Maybe you could ask them what to expect at customs in France.

It's mainly the dial, the regular cocktail time presage watches have the dial pattern then seven layers of gloss. The Urushi on the other hand has natural lacquer obtained from the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree, all done individually by hands of master craftsman Tamura Ichifune, he only makes 15 dials a day. It's very hard to find another Urushi dial watch of this level of finishing for this price point, so considering that, even though it's more expensive than the regular cocktail time range it's definitely priced according to it's level of craftsmanship.

@@G1NZOU Thanks for the info. It's like comparing apples to oranges.

Tough call. Wish I could help but both are great watches.

@@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces also the strap looks like gator pattern embossed calfskin leather. I used to sell high end dress shoes and gator leather is thick as hell lol

@@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces ended up getting this exact model w/ the presage steel bracelet to make it more casual - your review helped a lot thank you .

$800-$900 USD or so on Ebay.

Might hurt my wallet too! I've been on the hunt for one of my own too. It's really a special one. Thanks :)

Thanks Andy. To be honest the dial distracts from the rest of the watch. It's so dynamic and easy on the eyes. Cheers:)

It sure is a pretty one. A nice engraved caseback would have been kind of cool to see. Thanks a bunch for stopping by!

Hey Alex! Glad to hear from you, been awhile. I haven't come across anything about it being limited but with the way the dial is made it's hard to say how long they'll be in production. I'm seeing them anywhere from $800 up to close to $1000 USD on Ebay. Thanks:)

They’re not limited or special editions, but they are JDM only.

The prices are definitely a little hard to swallow compared to watches like the Cocktail Time. Appreciate the comment.

Yes, we are showing them how supply-demand works: two popular Japanese sellers stated independently that they have to keep replenishing the Urushi models to fulfill continuous orders.

Tough to argue with you on that!

I'm sure you could. Maybe even a distressed leather might look good too.

TimeToGo Travel And Timepieces Thank you for the quick response. I found two great deals online... But now I'm hesitating. 1000 USD for a used Sarx059/spb075 without a box. Pretty and versatile. Or 600 USD for a used Urushi (same as in the video) with a box. Also very pretty... Could be dressed down as you say, but still quite formal. So difficult to choose.

@@dimbulb6443 Tough call. The SARX is a great watch too and probably quite a bit more versatile.

Really like the Sary081 too. I'd love to get one in at some point. Thanks.
