May as well make this an annual award eh? I know it is only August, but this one takes the gong for 2023. Just gorgeous, and not a lot of money. You can say what you like about Seiko, and I frequently do, but their dials are off the charts. Hardlex, not so much. Cheers, Jody

"Hou" (Roasting/Roast/Roasted)
Japanese Whiskey - 15ml
Houjicha (Roasted green tea) - A spritz
Hot water - 45ml
Ice - One chunk
Build.
Thank you! Sounds delicious.
I need to ask the OP; Why use hot water if you are just going to ice it after? That seems like a lot of unnecessary dilution to me from a classical built drink perspective. I like more drink in my drink, but not if it's all water. Are you pickin' up what I'm layin' down? That being said, I've never tried it so I have no idea how it would taste when combined together and for all know, it could be the best drink I've ever had haha 😂
I recently got my first Seiko... The SARY179 (Black Russian) and I have to say... Now I get it. Seiko really do know how to make a beautiful dial.
They sure do mate! Enjoy.
I find myself watching your videos at night more often than heading to streaming services. Not sure what's happening to me. One thing is for sure: Your videos are killing it and I know it's a lot of work to produce this content. It has been fun to see this channel grow. Can't wait to see the new JOMW watch. A great holiday gift to myself. ;)
Thanks Daniel! Thanks for watching the channel mate.
I second your motion sir! Every video is a treat!
You’re addicted to wristwatches like all the rest of us. Welcome.
"The more light you expose it to, the more it plays around with that light and throws it back at you in spectacular fashion..." Pure poetry. Watch is beautiful too.
I admit, some prices are more than impressive. However, buying a second hand watch, from a private seller, from such a distant country makes me a little bit worried.
Jody, if you could share your experience (good and a bad one) with buyee, we would all benefit on it. Thanks.
As a seiko collector it really bugs me that seiko often don't bring in models that everyone wants or just something better than the rest of what they make.
If they had made a perfect watch you would not become a collector
I’ve kept from buying because it seems Seiko thinks “ok” is good enough. At least with their most common offerings.
They are shooting themselves in the foot. I bought an SNKS77 new but very cheap. The bracelet has folded links and the mineral glass quickly lost its lustre. Its now got double domed Sapphire with AR on it and a high quality jubilee bracelet, It looks fabulous and cost me about £65 to do. Seiko could have done that much cheaper and sold loads more watches for a higher price making more profit
I got the green 'matcha' one last year..and im wearing it almost daily, and it's still as pretty to me as the first day I got it ❤
Wow. I own this watch and have it for sale in the la area on offer up. Box papers tag etc. Zero scratches worn out the house 1 time. Crazy to see this video up
#2735
And yes, the dial is phenomenal
I need a date on my watch for work, but you’re absolutely right. That dial deserves a no date version. I won’t even bring up the sapphire issue…
I'll see this Seiko and raise you the brown 1959 alpinist. That dial is incredible!!
Personally, I really like the Matcha version. I would have bought one, if it wasn't for that harldlex crystal.
2:10 before hardlex mentioned. Amazing restraint
Thank you brother.
Beautiful watch ! I'm glad my photos helped your decision, I love photographing mine . From what I hear/read the crystals are glued in so its not a straight forward change to a sapphire. I won't be happy when I eventually scratch mine. Nice review ..
That is a beautiful watch. I have my Grandfather's Seiko 5 actus from the early 70s that my dad bought in Okinawa for him while in the Navy. I see your dial and it reminds me of that watch the way the color sunbursts.
I've never had a problem with hardlex up until a part of my ceiling came down and hit my manhatton cocktail time, which was on disply at the time. It actually stood up pretty well. Anyway, it buffed out easily with some diamond paste from eBay (about a tenner at the time) and the help of a cordless drill. It looks as good as new now. The paste is supposed to even do sapphire, but I'm not sure how you would scratch a sapphire crystal in the first place.
That is stunning! And the right size as well.
Yes..I too ❤ed this brown dial of Seiko..👌🥰
It is a beautiful dial but if I were in your position wondering whether to keep both Presages, I'd hold on to the Irish Coffee version. It has such a classy and timeless look, whereas the Houjicha dial could be less appealing as the years go by.
Not much of a dress watch wearer myself, but Seiko sure does tempt me. Love the Godzilla rep, by the way.
Had to do it eh?
It's a good thing not everyone likes the same thing!
This dial is gorgeous. Ypu should definitely check out the new limited edition Grand Seiko Samurai in red that was just announced
I need info about this anouncement, please. Can you link it for me?
Thanks
@javiersaturno9689 If I hadn't just put my name down for a Rolex, I would be getting one of these. Utterly gorgeous dials
@@javiersaturno9689 apparently YT doesn't like outside links. Robb Report had an article about it 2 days ago
@@BennyLlama yes, I understand. But what Grand Seiko anouncement are you referring to?
That’s one beautiful watch! I love my cocktail time. They are just so well designed and always look great. Sorry Jody but I prefer the date on the watch. The hardlex is ok I haven’t managed to scratch any of my Seikos yet….
I’ve managed to remove hardlex scratches with diamond paste and a dremel with a buffer on the lowest speed setting. It takes a couple of hours but the results are worthy of the time…
Stunning dial, completely agree about the date window. I wish Seiko would take the lead from the Rolex Sub (and other watches like the Vertex Aqualion) and make a date window an option…
You're not wrong about the dial, imagine what it would look like through a beautiful new piece of Sapphire. In your shoes I'd change it. I've tried poly watch mineral polishing kit I'm not sure if the improvement was marginal or just wishful thinking.
Keep the new one, ditch the old one. I'd put acrylic in it😂, OK a nice bubbly Sapphire then.
Such a beautiful watch.
Love that color.. Trying to imagine it in a rose gold or bronze case. Not enough brown/root beer options in the market in my opinion.
Great dial, although, having Irish Coffee myself, I wouldn't swap it for this one. IDK but there is something more magical in the Irish Coffee's dial than in this one. Perhaps the pattern appeals more to me. BTW Thanks for all your hard work! 🙇
If you only wanted one, keep the Star limited edition. I personally believe that watches should have Arabic numerals which enhances time telling. I also think it looks better than your other one. It has more character and charm. Great video.
I have this watch. The dial when the sun hits it is quite the looker.
As a proud Seikoholic, I dig this watch. Awesome video as always Jody!
It's a cool watch, Jody. The dial is a captivating mix of green, gray, and amber colors. Very beautiful. Hope it brings you much enjoyment.
this watch seems to have brought out extreme reactions including a few desperate trolls! I like it a lot. More original than the coffee presage and the size is much better for this style of watch. Fits you perfectly. Also why is everyone so obsessed with sapphire crystal?? nice review-keep this and flip the coffee
Beautiful watch with a beautiful dial! Its twin, the sary181 matcha, probably gets it a bit more right by using a black date wheel so it stands out a little less
Those numerals are beautifully styled.. my heart bleeds for the missing 3
keep em both. have a big collection. we might want to see all the brown dials that you collect all together, get a bunch of brown dials. keep collecting. its great viewing
Very clean. I’m not usually a fan of gold colored anything in watches, but Seiko does such a nice job…they’ve converted me on at least one watch that I now own.
not my cup of tea ^^ (shape); but got to admit its a stuning dial.
I have a late Soviet Poljot manual wind with a very beautiful dial very similar to that.
Yes, yes you absolutely can justify having those two stunning looking brownies in your collection.
This and Seiko SRPE11J1 irish coffee are the best dials for me this year. The irish coffee sadly is another LE watch which is not available widely.
I was lucky enough to pick one of these up when it was released. Because of my work I have several dress style watches, including a very well preserved 1983 Tudor Prince Oysterdate. This one by far gets the most wrist time. It is wonderfully versatile. You can dress it up, you can dress it down. I find myself finding reasons to wear it more frequently. It looks far more expensive than what I paid for it and it will never leave my collection…sorry Tudor Prince Oysterdate.
I bought a sapphire crystal replacement for my Presage from Long Island watch and I love it
A stunning dial indeed and one I hadn't seen before. I have a couple of the cocktail inspired Presages, the "Mojito" & "Star Bar Honeycomb", but if I'd seen this on the original release date I might have been tempted to add that to the collection.
That's some lovely macro footage Jody, and quite the dial too! I also have the many-Seikos-which-to-keep-which-to-sell issue . . . but no complaints from me!
I have the champagne cocktail with the battery reserve indicator... Very useful.
I would prefer for there to be no date window.
Both are stunning looking watches so in myopinion keep them both. You seem pretty adept at customisation so maybe replace the crystal with sapphire and video the process.
Swap the cases (with the hardlexes), keep the Starbar SARY183, sell the Irish Coffee, you know it makes sense, simples. 😉
How much was the shipping?
Great choice! Japan has a ton of great exclusiveseiko models.
I think you can well live without the other Pressage now. What a stunner.
Absolutely gorgeous watch I wish it was a bit bigger so I could wear one too
The whole "Star Bar" series is just glorious.
Wow! What a looker! 🤩
I love everything about that dial except the colour. That poo brown doesn’t blow my hair back.
Nice dial, but a scratched Hardlex crystal spoils the enjoyment somewhat, no? An upgrade to sapphire would be welcomed.
Have been shopping in Japan through buyee for 7 years now. Brilliant proxy service
Absolutely love your dial of the year episodes. Was wondering if you have any thoughts on the Zelos Aurora Field 38mm Ti Mosaic MoP? It reminds me of the Seiko Alpinist Ginza.
Why go white with the date wheel? I have a baby alpinist with similar dial and a black date wheel works just fine on that! Odd. But what a stunner still!
The Seiko Cocktail times are beautiful. But I'm not getting one with a Hardlex, no, no,......no!
The dial is gorgeous. Winner for sure.
But 1. The movement is unacceptable at that price (for new). 2. White string does not go on a formal band. 3. You did inspire me to look at last year’s winner … wow. Did it have a good movement?
I've got at least 10 watches with Hardlex and there's not a scratch to be seen. What do you guys do with your watches?
I picked up the sister model to this one at retail - beautiful green fume with silver hardware and a nice green strap, and I absolutely love it. I have come so close to getting this golden brown version to go with it several times.
I got that one too. Love it still. I switched to a brown strap to make it match more outfits.
Thanks for the video Jody, this is a gorgeous watch but the Hardlex makes coctail time a non starter for me. They are not cheap watches and domed crystal is a knock magnet. It's a terrible shame.
One of my fav's in my collection, strap isn't bad either.
Didnt this come out a long time ago alongside the matcha? I have the matcha and I recommend you check that out too!!
That’s a beauty. Easy to read, has date, and reminds me of coffee.
I had this one. Flipped it though because I just couldn't bear the thought of being the first one to scratch that crystal. And the way it sticks out, it's definitely going to happen
I am new Watch enthusiast from Mumbai, India. Started to watch your videos & my interest in watches grew exponentially.
Watches available here in India are very limited.
How can I get best affordable watches here in India?
What are your thoughts on Affordable swiss brands like Wenger & Mathey Tissot? I found few really affordable watches of them on Amazon India.
Any other value affordable brands from Swiss I can get in India ?
Another great vid by Jody! As for the watch I absolutely love it and the dial is exquisite. But why oh why did they put mineral glass on it. It is not even a budget watch. ⁉
Not a gold fan, but I am impressed with the rest of this watch. Very nice.
4:32 maybe pop off the steap and claen behind the lugs?… iik just saying
I used to have this watch and I loved it, it's great.
Perfect lady watch!! So small and gold...⭐
You got a great bargain there Jody. Affordable and gorgeous.
Yes, rock them both in the collection. I'm looking at getting into the presage line more myself. Great dial, great watch, great video as always Jody
Missed it! Hello! 👋
Hellooooo!
Una carátula que está a la altura de este maravilloso canal👍
Yep that is a handsome watch, thanks Jody!
Love your stuff, speaking of great dials please check out the SARX071!
Why does Seiko cheap out on the mineral crystals? I’m certain adding sapphire will gain customers not lose them.
If they removed the date window, added a sapphire crystal and real water resistance of at least 100m with a screw down crown I bet they could raise the price and sell alot more of them!
That is a beautiful watch Jody. Great dial, great indices, love it. They need to make these more readily available, though for some reason a lot of Japanese made watches like this are sold by dealers here in Turkey, there can be watches we can't get. This should have sapphire though. It's really time Seiko started moving in that direction for more of their watches.
I always enjoy your presentations! “Pre-scratched” I nearly spilled my cup of coffee on that that one. Hilarious! Well done as always. 🥃
Fun to see this watch, thank you. Best of the Year is always a personal choice, and I enjoyed knowing what Mr. Jodi adored. For me, the numerals worked well though the face appeared more like foam when a Coke is poured over ice. Pass-
Definitely the Negroni for me out of the two
Nice Dials
Lovely looker, that recepie is a Japanese hot toddy.....
Jody picked it up “second hand”, another watch pun if ever I heard one.
I'm pretty "meh" about Seiko's dials... They mostly look cheap, but fussy to me.
And overly simple and dull cases on their dress watches don't help as well...
really not a fan of the font of the numerals, but the color is nice!
Yes
Yes, the dial is unique and beautiful. But, I'd prefer to see that dial paired with a matte black case. A black case would really make the dial "pop". Stainless cases always remind me of a toaster.
It’s never been the lack of sapphire crystal that’s bothered me with these watches, more the lack of screw-in crown (which you’d think is important if the dial is all that special)
seiko designers: make a new design, "what bs should we say inspired it this time?" "i dunno, what'd you do this weekend?" "pretty much just drank tea, I had the shits all weekend and then designed this in my delirium" "well let's tell em it was the tea"
$1000 Ausie isn't "affordable" if it's sporting hardlex. And I realize most of those movements will operate well within their stated tolerances but if they can't promise better than that they aren't capturing my coins regardless of how freaking beautiful that dial is! Or it would be if it didn't have the weird date complication with a white background?
That looks great that Seiko.. Luckily they didn't put all the names and numbers on the clock face ;)
I have the mojito.i love it.wanted the frozen margarita. I might get it also.its the perfect dress watch
Almost perfect ta least.the crystal is the obvious fault.
Hmm...replace the hardlex with similar sapphire and ditch the irish coffee, I say.
What do you think about the addiesdive ad2118, im looking forward into buying it tomorrow at the sale. I really love the Look of the white one But im a really conserned Because of the thickness
I'm a bigger fan of the Matcha Star Bar watch, but people try reselling that one for ABSURD amounts on the secondhand marketplace. I also think the Irish Coffee Seiko you did earlier in the year had a better looking dial than this one, but it's all splitting hairs honestly.
