His post highlights the watch's stunning enamel dial, which exhibits captivating shades of blue, and praises its overall build quality and value proposition. The author also reflects on his long-standing relationship with Seiko, contrasting his new Presage with a Kinetic model acquired 25 years prior.

No need for further introduction as this timepiece has almost formed a cult on the forum, if not already.

Got mine yesterday and the enamel dial beauty is as advertised. Love its shades of blue...At times, it's purplish blue...that's my favorite shade for this watch...

The watch feels well built and feels/looks more expensive than its price...really good value, I must say... the only thing i'd change is the deployant buckle...it does not feel as comfortable as a pin buckle.

It's my 2nd Seiko...My first one, Seiko Kinetic, was acquired 25 years ago when I was much younger...

Indoor blue

Outdoor blue under the sun light

Seiko Kinetic...acquired 25 years ago...Still love it today...I think it's ABOUT time for some spa treatment..

Key Points from the Discussion

The Seiko Presage Blue Enamel dial is highly praised for its beauty and varying shades of blue, sometimes appearing purplish, contributing to its perceived value.
A common point of feedback among owners is the deployant buckle, which many find less comfortable than a traditional pin buckle, with some noting differences even between similar Presage models.
The deployant buckle's reverse orientation and how the strap tail sits are specific comfort issues mentioned by collectors, leading some to consider strap changes.
Despite the buckle issue, the Presage series is widely regarded as offering unbelievable value, often feeling and looking more expensive than its price.
The author's long-term ownership of a Seiko Kinetic for 25 years demonstrates the brand's durability and lasting appeal.

You’re the second PuristS (with Cazalea) to mention the only drawback coming from the deployant buckle. Enjoy your honeymoon and don’t forget your Kinetic 😉 Best wishes Alkiro

I like the contrast between the blue enamel dial and the white hands. That little golden crescent on the tail of the seconds hand is also a very nice touch!
