Actually, I've been asked
quite a lot about the dial. The answer is: "Sorry, it's not porcelain, though it does look like."
A porcelain dial would be nice, but this pure white dial is just as fine for me.
I remember there were other commemorative models with porcelain dials, which also came with higher price tags than this one.
As for my watch collection, I would share it somewhere else (perhaps HoMe would be approprate?).
Here on this thread, let's just enjoy the beauty of this SEIKO Presage SRP385J1.
An Unforgettable Encounter
First of all kudos for the new Seiko Forum, much under appreciated and highly deserving ! Posted these in the not so recent past, not sure many saw it. Quite unforgettable, simply stunning. The Breguet Numerals and Enamel Dial is to die for ..... How do u...
Yup!
I didn't know about this model.... SEIKO should do better about "globalization"..... And, thank YOU, my friend! Ken
True piece
Of treasure u have. What more when u have the set ! Look forward to catching up in person again.
Yup!
... drop me a line next time you have time in Tokyo! Thank you again, flamenco! Ken
That dial looks familiar (as well as beautiful)
And no wonder! Sadly, I remember nothing about the acquisition of this pocket watch or its previous life. Maybe eBay? It\'s got a small crack in the crystal but not so noticeable that I\'ve tried to find a new one. Cheers, Cazalea ...
Beautiful
What movement does it use ? What's second setting ? You have to tell us more, Mike !
I think it means hacking seconds, as the hand stops when crown is pulled
shall I open it up and see what that movement looks like in the Seiko pocket watch? Aha! It's a 6110A wristwatch movement, which I can use to date the watch to 1971. And the world's thickest case or movement spacer ring. Fingerprints too! Time for a clean...
Sooo much to learn with Seiko
We know Rolex makes about a million watches a year how many does Seiko produce? Man that is a great look watch so much elegance. Bill
Elegance
at an almost embarrassing price .... Thats the marvel of Seiko, they are in multiple market segments ! Accessible to all ! To your qns ... dun think even seiko knows ;)
Just add a zero when ever price comes up
This way we can keep it affordable and not let the cat out of the bag. LOL Bill
Looks great
Hi Thanks for posting, looks great. Although different kind of reminds me of Seiko Sarbo31 a watch I really should have made more of an effort to get. Think I need to go off and look for mor details. Thanks for sharing Cheers JML
Mine says hi.
Since I bought mine in Taiwan, where Mandarin is the official language, the day display can be set in either English or Chinese characters. Only 150 of this watch were allocated to Taiwan; I was lucky enough to see and grab it right after its release. Thi...
Is the dial porcelain
Great looking watch captured in stunning pictures. What else do you have lurking in your watch box. Bill

Looks splendid on your wrist !
It is a rare watch in its own right. Your photos do the watch very much justice. Sounds like you caught the seiko bug !
Flamenco, the watch you show as your avatar,
the Grand Seiko 50th anniversary, is simply breathtaking. That's my most desirable GS. Very hard to find now. I missed the opportunity to buy it because it came out before I got into watches.
Haha, that's a great
read. Thank you. I don't mind enjoying the watch with visual pleasure. what a great watch that is!
Beautiful ... but ....
I was one of the lucky ones to secure this beautiful watch. However I am still wondering why the date window is not a neatly cut square/rectangle? It looks like it was punched through. Could this have anything to do with the dial being in enamel? Or is th...
this is one i have considered buying, but something else always crops up.
brilliant to have a Seiko forum and i will try to re review my meagre offerings soon. desperately looking for the elusive 1964 Grand Seiko. found one at great price with a good buy it now, but seller withdrew it before i could make an offer. found another...
I thought you had a '64 GS, Graham . . .
. . . and if memory serves correctly, it was a spectacular performer, too . . .
no, sadly that is one...
no, sadly that is one that eludes me. i had a 65 GS and my 64 KS is a stunning performer after being self adjusted. my Beijing anniversary handwind is also a superb performer after self adjustment. eyes open please folks. if anyone knows where a gold meda...
Do u mean
A 6516 ? Both are hard to get your hands on. But I would prioritize the vintage as well ! A missing gold medallion is definitely a no go !
no i meant a 1965...
no i meant a 1965 GS, but forget the model number for that period off the top of my head. as you say. no medallion no watch for me. G
IMO, nothing touches it at this price point
Subjectively and with bias , of course ;) Seiko sure knows how to bring value to both the mass market and the discerning collector :D
