Think it was a good idea to place two orders ...
... because the Frankfurt boutique never contacted on the white enamel one (which had been my first choice, based on the web pictures). Originally I had ordered another enamel one from my local dealer here in Austria, but rather as an afterthought, I changed that to an Urushi one, so just in case I would receive two watches, I would be able to compare them side-by-side and decide which one to sell again. Now I am very happy with the black one!

New addition
Has been some time since I purchased a brand new watch, and was already quite excited particularly by this very model. It even got me record the unboxing! ~ just like the 'old' times have not seen many lately myself. FYI, I uploaded here: ; Happy times G...
Lovely
That\'s rather special indeed. I like the mix of the old and the new, surprisingly not done in a nasty clashing manner we see a lot of....
Lucky you!
For already getting yours. Reminding me to call the boutique and check out when they are due to arrive.
Very nice
always good to get a new toy. If it's anything like my Urushi dialed Seiko you'll need a crowbar to prise it off your wrist Do you have any shot of the movement? Cheers JML
Can understand the draw of the dial
Looks good - like the date at 4:30 & with the round window for it too Cheers JML
You are first and the first one to congratulate
Why did you decide for black rather than white? BR, kolosstt
Hard decision to make
but a couple of reasons for me are the date window frame having natural artifacts of the enamel process, subdial cutting the 6 - again due to the dial process. Choice of black is rather easy ( as in most cases I reckon )
Congrats!
We're waiting for it to arrive in Singapore. Apparently shipment has been delayed, so we have to wait til mid-Sep , alas...
Do you know which boutique it might be available for viewing in?
The Vivocity one or Thong Sia? Thanks!
Not sure...
I emailed Seiko SG and all they told me was that it would be mid Sep, no further info unfortunately. They weren\'t very responsive to be honest
Shame :(
Given the rather large Seiko community in SG, i expected them to be a bit more enthusiastic about their engagement with their customers. I have had pretty bad experiences at their Vivo boutique as well previously
Congratulations!
I hope to be joining you soon. Unfortunately for me, I have been away on a trip and my watch is waiting in a cool, dry place, somewhere safe. Are you enjoying it? I really liked your unboxing video! Well done, humorous and with just the right touches of g...
Congragulations on your acquisition
----lovely photos. Have been bugging my AD about my orders,but no news as yet I will take whichever arrives first although your photos have swayed me towards the urushi dial. Enjoy your lovely watch best henry
Finally arrived, here in Tokyo.
The sale started Sept. 9th and it was the latest in the world? Damn! ) Here are some of the quick shots. HAGWE, SEIKO fans! A bit thick. A little hard, but good feel pusher. Index are probably many times printed - actually silver index. I am so happy abou...
Thank you so much for sharing your early impressions, KIH!
Still waiting for the call from the Boutique
I have ordered the enamel...
So between us, we\'ll have a pair Let\'s see if I\'ll change my mind once I see both in the store.
Mine arrived at last!
Courtesy of a friend and a Master Enabler who got it overseas It's lovely on the wrist. Surprisingly, despite my scrawny wrist, it's not too big at 42mm, in contrast to my usual 36-40mm sized watches. The lugs are short and curve downwards. It wears more ...
It was such a tough
choice ,but i finally picked the urushi version today at the AD --and am very happy with the choice,although the blued hands on the enamel almost tugged me in the opposite direction! It sits fairly well on my small wrist despite it's 42 mm size. ...
just got a mail from my dealer ...
... while I am still on vacation in France. My Urushi chronograph has arrived, even got a very nice number, 882. As a matter of fact, I also ordered a white enamel version from a different source, since I was not sure whether I would get one from my local...
