Seiko Presage - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

Hello, I would like to introduce you to my beautiful Seiko Presage SPB173J1 special edition, a watch only available in Seiko stores in Asia. Bought in Malaysia during a trip, its enamel green dial that absorbs light by changing from forest green to black via various colors of fir trees, it was my first watch on a steel bracelet. Its Roman numerals, its power reserve and the date at 6 o'clock give it a crazy charm, wanting to buy a watch that is rarely seen on the European market, I think it is successful, then it is a nice holiday souvenir, with a welcome at the Seiko store quite fabulous.

A little gem that accompanies me on every occasion. This Seiko marks both the first watch I own and a gift given to me by my family for my 25th birthday. It therefore logically has great value when I wear it and admire it. I particularly love this green dial which, marked by the light (outside or inside), reflects a different light each time you look at it.

Geared towards rather sporty watches, I still needed a watch that was a little more dressy while keeping a cheerful side. I was not ready to put a large budget for this type of watch, because I knew that I would wear it little. It was natural that I looked at Seiko. The brand has a rather good reputation in a reasonable price range. The Seiko Presage called "mojito" seduced me. Its dial is the main asset of this watch, sometimes emerald green, sometimes dark green, it is a delight for the eyes. The hands are half polished and half brushed. This is rare at this price level. The diameter is contained, and it can easily be placed on the wrist of Madame. The caliber 4r35 does not work miracles, but fulfills its mission. It is also a bit of a lottery in terms of precision. At first it did not bother me too much, but in the long run this lack of precision becomes annoying. The case back is open and the oscillating weight is gilded for a bit of decoration. The original bracelet is not of great quality, but it does the job. It is equipped with quick releases, which shows that Seiko knows that it is not great. So it can be changed easily. In the end, what more could you ask for for this low price? Because let's not forget that Seiko is a historic watch brand in the watchmaking landscape.
