Baselworld 2016: SEIKO ups its game & drops a bombshell - LIVE PHOTOS

 
 By: MTF : March 17th, 2016-23:19
UPDATE 20 March 2016: LIVE PHOTOS added at bottom of this report Forumners, This is just a flash report of perhaps the most stunning news for both watch "lovers" and consumers globally. Currently, it is buried amongst all the chaos and hype that are Basel...  

Fascinating!

Curious if that means Credor sales in Europe, too... Some new GSs would not go amiss, especially the no date, no power reserve Spring Drives

I have already checked if I can order one from Finland.

If not, I'll fly somewhere to get this chronograph. It's a must. Best, Kari

Which one? White enamel or Black urushi?

With 64 Seiko Boutiques already and plan to increase to 100 global boutiques soon, you just need to find a boutique. 1000 pieces. From all the handshakes and back-pats going on yesterday, I think really big Seiko dealers in your country may be able to hel... 

If it is not too pricey

very thin. But two fantastic Seikos is not too much. Is there a see-through back? Furthermore, it would be great to learn more about the movement. Best Kari

I've spoken with Seiko on your behalf

 
 By: MTF : March 18th, 2016-15:24
Demand is high and your nearest boutique they recommend is Frankfurt. Please connect quickly yourself directly or they will connect you, although everyone is busy in Basel now. Regards, MTF

If that is the case, I am grateful.

In fact very grateful. Thank you! I just arrived Switzerland in order to visit Basel - several times. A report or at least impressions will follow. If you have a contact in Frankfurt, can you PM me. I would like to call them on Monday. For me it will be e...

MSRP is 2500 euros for the white enamel dial!

There is a Boutique in Frankfurt :)

Not so difficult to reach

Absolutely great news! I wish Seiko all the best, and hope ...

 
 By: Marcus Hanke : March 18th, 2016-05:09
... that the new Presage line will be find its way through the complete Seiko dsitribution network, not only the boutiques! Marcus

Order placed ...

 
 By: Marcus Hanke : March 21st, 2016-02:15
In all those years, I never before ordered a watch simply from the Basel press pics. For the white chronograph, I discontinued this habit. Now I can only hope I really will get one. Marcus

Also in line :)

 
 By: KMII : March 21st, 2016-04:21
Decided on the enamel one, was put on the list by the Frankfurt Boutique just now Keeping fingers crossed...

PM sent :) [nt]

 
 By: KMII : March 21st, 2016-07:15

Sent you the additional details :)

 
 By: KMII : March 21st, 2016-08:42
Seems that there are quite some interested parties! I was definitely not the first calling the Boutique today

Very interesting

 
 By: jml_watches : March 19th, 2016-15:20
I'm looking forward to whats going to come our way & your future posts on them. Does this mean an end to JDM watches - or are these over and above them? Cheers JML

It is a game of chess

Life & Death. Move & Countermove. You cannot ask: Is this the end of XYZ? It depends on what XYZ or ABC does as well Regards MTF

I feared that Basel would play with my plans...

 
 By: KMII : March 20th, 2016-01:23
Another night to sleep on it, whether to call the Frankfurt boutique tomorrow... Seeing them live, grand feu (SRQ019) or Urushi (SRQ021)?

Thanks for this Seiko report MTF!

I really love the chronograph! Not sure which one I like better but both the white enamel and black Urushi dials are beautiful! Cheers, Anthony

Twin beauties!

The black dial speaks to me, away to the boutique ! Thank you for the review and info.
