Not sure if it was Alkiro or someone else, who claimed that I started the year at Damjan pace, and I believe Raymond was of the opinion that 50 pieces were definitely feasible this year And then there are the two Singaporean Vlads - Beerstyle in the one corner www.watchprosite.com
Robin in the other www.watchprosite.com
whose posts have contributed to my curiosity and the inevitable.
So at the end of the second week of 2018, I find myself the owner of the third new watch - the Seiko Presage SRPC01. The piece is also known as the SARY085 in Japan (the only difference are the different numbers in each Limited Edition - 1.300 for the former, 3.500 for the latter). Created in co-operation with the Star Bar of Tokyo and also known as Starlight, it is one of the new members of the Cocktail Time sub-family in the Presage line.
Better pictures and a fuller coverage will yet follow, here a brief summary for the start. The watch is possessed of a stainless steel case of 40mm x 11,8mm, powered by the 4R35 23 jewel, 21,600vph movement (hand winding and hacking seconds) and has, what is known as the 'Cupcake crown'. And then there is the dial. Truly fascinating at a much higher price level, it is truly astounding here. As said, better pictures in proper light shall be taken shortly but I can definitely recommend taking a look. All is finished off with a blue calfskin leather strap and the standard Seiko deployant clasp. Oh, and it has a transparent case back, too - although I do not see most owners spending hours observing that.
Thanks for viewing!
