Oooooh. Love that.

That's an absolutely gorgeous dial! I wish I collected watches sooner, would've loved to pick one up when they were available here in SE Asia. Yours looks pristine 👌🏻

Have you tried looking on chrono24.com?

[–] hisyam970302@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I browse Chrono24 on the daily for fun actually LOL, but right now just saving cash for other things!

This is the Seiko Presage " Irish Coffee " a model released for the SE Asia market in limited numbers a few years back.

The recent release of the Australian LE SRPK50J ( a rose gold plated model with a similar dial ) had inspired me to post my Irish Coffee.

An absolutely beautiful dial for a watch in the sub 1K category.

The blended creame and brown of the SRPE11J1 definitely outshines the newer "brown everywhere" look.

Your photos are always excellent. Do you know where I can get something like this? I love a nice crystal but the newer SARB003 is a bit too wild for me. Do these photos make this look more interesting than it actually is?

That older model was probably around 34mm, it’s honestly quite small and the purple looks a bit feminine

For irish coffee, your best bet would be on chrono24

Love this. Also cannot say enough good things about the cocktail time line as a whole. I will never get tired of my honeycomb.

[–] VGEez@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They should just really be made smaller. They're big for dress watches for my 6.25 wrist

[–] flying-potato@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I can imagine that. I assume you’ve tried one on for size, but for what it’s worth I find they wear smaller than they are.

[–] mets2016@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there anyone else who thinks this looks amazing as an object, but kinda mediocre as a watch? I really enjoy looking at pictures of this, but I can hardly imagine wearing this on my wrist

[–] AudaciousCo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Looks great on men with a darker asian skin color complexion, which is why it may have released for the SE Asian market.

I wear this watch when I am pairing it with earthtone colours or light beige / olive / grey colours

[–] ZachCSW@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The dials on the presage cocktail time line hit so far above their price point. And killer photography also helps!

[–] Jennysparking@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh wow that is stunning

[–] purpletooth12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That is nice!
Would love one!
