U willing to pay the price?

pair it with a leather strap would be great 

Saw them on display in the Seiko area inside Isetan Lot10. If I have the budget, I might go for Shikamaru's model, since it's arguably the subtlest out of all. Kinda like the character himself.
Nice choice for first automatic dress watch.
I'm still awe-stricken by the blue dial model of Presage Sharp Edged and I'm kinda thinking of getting that and selling my Blue Moon model from the Cocktail Time line.

before covid it was like a 3 months wait to receive my watch back (staying in penang). with the current situation, you might be looking at the same time frame if you're located in KL, havent had seiko since my last presage disappointed me as well

i didnt send in the presage, i had a prospex samurai padi which was actually nice for its price. i dont know what happened, but it probably got magnetized one day cause it was gaining few minutes a day so i sent it for RMA and it took 3 month to receive back.

funnily enough, it was doing -20s per day when i bought it and after RMA, it went to +4seconds per day which was actually better

my disappointment in the presage was the SARW041 that i bought. was gaining 20+ seconds per day, had misaligned hour hands which you can notice if you set the time to 6pm. it's a beautiful watch and still one of the best dials i've had, but other QC issues just made me disappointed by seiko in general.

it's not uncommon to hear seiko even in the presage line having misaligning issues and when you consider the amount you're paying for, it's really sad to see you're getting such QC. these days seiko's watches are even ramping up in price while features are being reduced so the part of them that appeals to many is also slowly fading away.

I thik this is common seiko issue that they dont solve it for years
There is a joke for it, if u got a seiko with proper aligment, a perfect piece, it might be a fake seiko.

How's your experience so far? Well this is the reply i got from Thongsia (i sent photos of the misaligned bezel and dirt on hands too)

Thong Sia did fix your misaligned bezel ?
Nice...

How price you got it?

Bro any backplay on your bezel? I went to check out the watch in person but it seems like there’s a fair bit of backplay even on a brand new unit. Obviously not as bad as the skx watches but somewhat disappointing in a watch costing 1k usd.
