I think your analysis is pretty much spot on. I have another Presage Seiko & it's almost exactly the same other than the dial - the premium for the urushi dial was almost 100%. Which I was more than ok with.
I think some of the newer ones are starting to stretch the realms - not to say they aren't great watches, but the premium is being stretched even further. Though as you note if it was Swiss then it might even be more.
Would I have another Presage with a special dial - possibly, but some are getting close ( or closer) to a Grand Seiko & then I start to think I'd rather put those funds towards one of those.

Hi All Another shot of my Urushi Seiko - as I've said before one of my better choices. I've now had it 4 years & still wearing it every day. Looking back and checking my posts - it is probably the most common one - tells you all you need to know. It's bee...

After all,it's the dial that attracts our initial attention,and coupled with a reasonable movement or function like date,power reserve,is a winning strategy. However, i think you can overdo a good thing,and as they flood the market with more 'interesting'...

Impressive that you found a wristwatch that you can build so many memories with.
Let's talk about those battle scars...

A lovely piece, btw, and so many have obviously agreed with you. A wildly popular release. And I'm so glad to hear of someone who has found that "one" watch. It may not be forever, but that this deep satisfaction has lasted so long is—in my mind, at least...
It's all personal choice

Hi Well they're not battle scars in truest sense, just a myriad of little scratches that come with wearing a watch - if you want it to be pristine, don't wear it , but that's no fun. So would I get it polished - I think so, to bring it back to how it was....
It's good to share!

They both look great in the sun. PADI has a lot of appeal too. Cheers JML
