I have to convince myself and my boss....
on spending a good sum of dough on a watch not from Switzerland or Germany (risen in recent years).
Conventional wisdom is to focus on Switzerland only for watches.....don't let Cazalea see this

The Seiko Presage SRQ019 is slowly but surely getting under my skin
In addition to the Zenith PuristSPro P15, the Omega Speedmaster CK2998 and the Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter, the Seiko Presage 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Chronograph (in both its SRQ019 and SRQ021 forms) has been one of the most popular / most frequent...
Yes the watch offers a very high value for money
But it is also its problem in a way... too reasonable to be exciting for me. Just my point of view obviously because I have to confess that it is a flawless watch for its price. Fx
I hear you :)
And to hear the assessment from you is the highest possible praise indeed, even if it did not make you buy the watch. All I can say is that it grows on you Thanks!
Not even a Grand Seiko in this case...
But a 'lowly' Seiko Presage. Making it all the more amazing what they managed with it There are two ADs in Vienna, if you feel like a visit...
My mistake
Two in Vienna and nothing in Geneva. What a shame! I went to Austria and Vienna when I was 13 years old. An update should be welcome Best wishes Alkiro
You're always welcome! :)
We shall make it a memorable event, too - if the previous ones can be used as a reference
Not sure the GS ADs will be likely to play...
But we shall arrange horologically interesting bits, too
Very nice Seiko - the dial is beautiful!
enjoy my Friend and thanks for the photos Cheers Robin
Very nice photos, KM.
You show it off very well. It really is a lot of watch for a little money.
Absolutely :)
None of the over 20 Purists that have one have it as their first or only watch
Did Breguet get this idea of the sunken subdial from this?
Seiko's on a roll, never had I seen such vibrant activities in this forum with so many members adding one. This is another nice one you have here, KMII. Rgds Raymond
I doubt that Breguet got the idea from here...
But still a lovely touch on a watch in this range. So when are you adding yours, Raymond?

Cannot really advise you on the value...
Although looking at Chrono24 the value retention on GS is very good.
Looks great - my main concern would be its thickness
I know I've other Seikos that aren't the slimest, but think I might struggle with this one - it's 16mm isn't it? The dials are wonderful & the fact that it's in the presage line is great. Would def need to try one on though to make a definitive judgement ...
The more I wear it...
The less of a problem the thickness is. Initially I had the same misgivings, as it is really not slim. But with time you get used to it (as most of us have gotten used to watches over 38mm ), and it becomes rather normal. But as you say, trying it on is o...
