Seiko SRPE43J1 Presage Cocktail Time Review

Watch review of the Seiko Presage SRPE43J1 Cocktail Time. The best Presage release in a while in my opinion. Reasonably priced, good specs and a BEAUTIFUL dial. I think this is one of the best watches you can get for around 400 euros or dollars. This review is pretty long so take a nice comfortable position and grab a coffee and enjoy!

That is a stunning piece and looked awesome on the cheapest nato strap.
Yes the seiko strap did look so much better flipped around.
How comfortable are deployent clasps. I feel that the clasp would be uncomfortable and irritating thus so far avoided them. Please advise.
Nice to see your channel growing as you approach 1000 subscribers. Keep up the good content my friend.

I bought this because I needed a dress watch for a wedding. As the name "cocktail time" implies, it is definitely made to be worn in the evening: the dial pattern comes alive in a room that is softly lit but with a few bright points of light. The only problem is that I enjoyed looking at it so much, people might have thought I was impatient for the event to end!

“Long time no Seiko” ☺️
I’m pleased, nice to see that amazing dial again!

[kaputaz]

I bought this watch and i love it so much. 😍. Its perfect Win for me.. Anyone planning to buy this please go for it. You won't regret.

[volodymyrkomliev]

This is amazing dial! And the watch's dimensions are perfect. Thank you for watch demonstration with different straps. I am really started thinking to get own this pice of art.

Straps should always go inside that way it will look neat

Just bought this from a local watch store and it’s absolutely stunning! Thanks for the great review.

Seiko really does do the best dials. I own the Mockingbird but can see myself buying others in the range.

[planetdee]

The size of this watch plus the dial make this watch a great dress watch. I am glad Seiko is going back to smaller size watches.

They do a special addition with a Milanese strap. I was so impressed, I bought one for my Presage in the same colour as the one you reviewed, and it looks fantastic. As lovely as the watch looks, at the full retail price it is very expensive. Mineral crystal and a 4R35 movement is poor for a watch costing £400 in the UK ($500). Mine was running +72spd, so I had to regulate it. Seiko QC is terrible

[omershibolet]

Hey can you post a link to the Colareb strap? Is this black or brown? I am getting this watch and the combination really looks yummy! thx :)

Hello, have you ever faced the accuracy problem of automatic watches? For example, my Seiko 4R35 movement Presage watch was lagging by 10-15 seconds every day. I sent it to the service, they said the clock has been fixes and sent it back to me, and now it goes forward 5 seconds a day. I can't enjoy the watch when worrying about this. Do you think it is normal for an automatic watch to deviate by 1 minute per week? Can you touch on this subject a little bit? Let's also say a mechanism that gives a deviation of plus 35 minus 45 seconds per day. I wouldn't mind if my watch was 5 seconds behind today or 10 seconds ahead tomorrow. However, when it constantly move forward by 5 seconds a day, it really upsets me. Do you think I'm worrying too much? Can you explain a little bit please?

Thanks a lot!

I love the negroni. Bought it some days back. Wanted to know if I want to use a melenese strap which one to buy. Do let me know. Thanks in advance.

[mohamedajaz]

Hey! Can you share your review after using all these years, review of the Hardex front on the watch? Does it scratch easily? I'm thinking of getting one!

[hrithik]

Is this better than the coctail blue moon bracelete edition? Srpb41j1

[eliotsalandybrown]

😊 thank you for a thorough, insightful, and beautiful to watch review 🙏

[elshazlio]

Would this work with a steel bracelet instead of leather and fabric straps?

[arjunprakash]

Has Seiko come up with a sapphire crystal on the same watch yet?

[rangorango]

what watch strap, the one with the stitching, is that, looks beautiful on the watch..

[budimulyanto]

Nice review and thanks for the high quality video. I have not got a chance to see this directly and I have been wondering if the pattern in the dial is really a 2.5D relief or it is actually flat. if it is a 2.5D relief, how they can print the word "Presage" on it.
