![Can It Really Be That Good? Seiko Cocktail Time Review [ SRPB41J1 ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cLgxBu_P2bo/mqdefault.jpg)
Just found one and ordered... Man, this thing was not as easy to get as I thought it would be.
I'm a huge fan of coffee, bourbon, and especially Manhattans. Can't wait to wear this to cocktail hour or a nice dinner.
Great video!
Haha well I can say I am a huge fan of coffee also :)
Great review. I never thought I would like a dress watch in this color scheme, but it is absolutely gorgeous.
I agree!
This one, like a lot of the cocktail time models is gorgeous. I used to own the light blue date dial and power reserve. I did like it, but think I would prefer the plain dial like this. But it always did feel just too big for it's purpose, so that's stopped me from buying again. However very beautiful, classy models
Thanks - yeah I imagine if they made these in 38mm it would be a home run!!
I'm in love with the Presage cocktail line!
Nice :)
Great stuff Ivan👍
Thanks :)
this whole lineup is amazing for the price. Gorgeous, quality and respected pieces
Agreed! Although prices continue to creep up somewhat disproportionately!
I was impressed after viewing this watch model along with other colored scheme variations in person.
This brown dial along with the green stands out than even the usual blue dial.
I was tempted to get one of these but the lacked of lumed hands and low water resistance rating made it a deterrent purchase factor.
Though so, its still one of the more attractive watches in Seiko's products lineup that gets interest even from my family.
Thanks for your review and I am amazed at how their watch box could even spin on that table surface!
Best regards.
Haha thanks - this surface was particularly smooth, that’s why I think :)
That explains it! Hahaha!
Well done sir. Very descriptive. The face looks a lot like the watch you covered last week but it's classic. I love the gold and the pointed indices. And under 12mm! Wow. One of the best yet and a perfect description. Cheers!
Thanks Mike... these are super popular and I think it’s easy to see why, they really do shine.
Do you think it looks like the MAS Arcticus I reviewed last week? I think it looks very very different...
@@PerthWAtch well. My eyes are getting real bad. I only refer to the face. This too looks like a patch of leather from? I dunno, an old flight jacket either the center cleaned real well. Is there a name for this face style, like sunburst... not that but. Beach something? I like it. Seems fresh but classic. The only fault I see is the crystal. Then again, I'd likely only wear it to meetings or church. I like the strap. I bought 2 with butterfly catch but it's hard to use. I think this may be perfect. And as always, gold plate is never good. In my opinion. Still. Very nice!
@@PerthWAtch No, it was 2 watches ago I think. The CAVALLI DIVER
Has a face much like this. I like that look!
Ah ok... yeah the fume effect dial
Great review Ivan as usual. I own this exact Cocktail time colourway and it is a thing to behold in sunlight. Just gorgeous. If I may offer up something for you to consider..Get some cotton gloves. I nice piece like this deserves to be shown Sans fingerprints.
Thanks Peter. Yeah I’ve thought about using gloves before… might have to think about it again :)
Spinnabilty of the box! LOL😀😀 Loved your video. I have this watch also.
Nice - enjoy!
There are genuinely fantastic options across the Presage line and the differing Cocktail Time pieces are certainly amongst those. Regarding the water resistance - I have used pieces with Push/Pull crowns swimming many, many times... a threaded crown isn't absolutely necessary but with a 5 ATM rating I wouldn't take that one under, I don't think.
Thanks for sharing from your experience - I think a screw down isn’t absolutely needed (I have Citizen and Casio rated 100m with push crown and they do fine), but equally I have had a number of 50m push crowns end up letting water in after a swim.
Love the presage cocktails perhaps this one the least being brown skinned but favourite is the original plus they do wear quite nicely on the bracelet (7" wrist ) ,agree with the sapphire point butt still gorgeous watches . Great review as always plus it looks good on you.
Thanks Ted - which one is the original?
Good review enjoyed it thank you Superman
You are welcome, earthling :)
This and the ice blue are my joint favourite cocktail models. Wish it came in 38 and with sapphire.
Yeah 38mm and sapphire would be SWEET!!
I love a Seiko 😁 thanks Ivan excellent video
Most welcome James!
Man, that thing’s a looker no doubt. Rich, earthy, coffee, chocolate wrapped in shiny gold. Yum.
Like a Ferrero Rocher :)
@@PerthWAtch exactly.
Good video as usual mate. I bought a Presage last week here in Brisbane, blue dial/face, , but bracelet, not leather strap. The Cocktail series is a good dress watch, goes well with denim jeans and a white long sleeve business shirt I bought the white face one in 2018. Only thing with the bracelet is the clasp, it's ok, but a bit annoying compared to Prospex and Coutura models, or Citizen Eco Drive clasps.
Thanks for sharing the experience! I didn’t realise the clasp on Presage was so different… didn’t really look closely haha!
This watch is absolutely beautiful in person. Even more so than on the video. I almost got this one but ended up going with the green power reserve version. Hope to add this one some day. All of the watches I’ve seen in this series are just beautiful.
Great video!
Question… after 2 plus years, how is the gold tone holding up?
Thanks for that mate. This was gifted to a brother-in-law - he doesn’t do anything rough with it and in those circumstance it holds up pristinely.
Thanks for the great review, mate. Absolutely beautiful watch. Cheers.
Most welcome mate! What does your business do?
@@PerthWAtch Marketing agency based in South Australia with clients worldwide. Not as glamorous as dealing in watches!
Haha you’re an Aussie business, cool!
@@PerthWAtch Absolutely! In the most beautiful seaside suburb of Adelaide. Thanks again for your fabulous reviews. I love what you’re doing. Keep it up.
This range is so beautiful, I like watches but never thought I would own one. But I was looking in the shop window and the Seiko from this range on its own was the most beautiful watch in the window. It's definitely on the flashy side but if you think about all these garage watches with huge dials it just about slips under the radar. It's almost like an everyday work watch this happens to be extra beautiful. I have the open heart and I was wondering about having a completely pure dial but I don't think that would be a good idea because because he's aren't the most accurate all you have to focus on is the fact that we've time isn't that accurate, it's nice to have some other elements. Also if it was plain dial I think it might be too beautiful to dressy, you just want to stare at it with a complications have some depth to the watch otherwise it's literally just a pretty face.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts - yes I really do think this is a stunningly good looking watch!
I added a brown dial 'bottle cap' to the collection knowing that brown was not a preference for a dial. Time has not changed that view. Fortunately it was always about the case shape anyway, so all is well.
Haha bottle cap is classic!
Lovely watch
Thanks
Nice , I agree Seiko needs to use Sapphire !
Yes they do! And make it cheaper :)
I'd be very happy if they had the 34mm version in one of the green shades.
Hmm I wonder if they do... might be in quartz in slightly different design, sometimes they do this under what is ostensibly ladies range (not to say ladies can’t wear larger watches or vice versa)
Bought today! First Seiko
Congratulations
I have one and I love it.
Good choice :)
Still one of my non limited editions of the presage cocktail
You have other limited editions?
WOW!😱 Finally a Seiko without a misaligned bezel! Oops! It doesn’t have one!🤣 Nonetheless Ivan, a beautiful looking watch.👍🏼
Ah yes but did you see how the chapter ring is aligned here?? ;)
Nice enough watch I prefer some of the alternative colours. There is no excuse for hardlex, it will scratch, more so with being domed. If they didn't want to fit sapphire they should have used acrylic and at least you can polish out the scratches. Not sure if I see the point of that clasp, you have to push a pin through a hole then feed the slack through the keepers, why not a normal buckle and either reduce the price or fit sapphire?
This buckle is pretty good IMO... it allows you to fit the strap to your personal size, and then leave it for as long as it's only you wearing it. Only need to change when changing wearers (e.g. letting someone else try it on). With a normal pin buckle the wear and tear (as you will know if you use those) around the hole that fits you is considerable, and shortens the life of the strap quite a lot in comparison.
Thanks for this video! I am looking at this watch as my first "real" watch. I currently own a Seiko solar that I really like, and other than that it's been mostly Timex for me, with a Waterbury as my nicest purchase to date. Would you recommend this watch, or something else in this price point as a good entry to watches at this level?
Yes, Seiko is excellent and you really can’t go far wrong for the price
@@PerthWAtch Thank you!
There is only one problem with the Presage Cocktail Time line: to choose only one color 😂
Ah but that’s why they are so “collectible” :)
Haven't been able to decide between this and the blue one on the bracelet for over a year now 😭
I think cocktail time watches should be worn on leather strap…
@@PerthWAtch Agreed, regardless im still stuck on which dial color to get. Can always change out the bracelet on the blue one to a nice brown leather strap.
Nice looking watch
Yes it is!
I’m thinking about buying this watch, I’m choosing between it and SRPD36J1, can you say something about this? Unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity to compare them in person :(
Very similar model but with difference mainly being in the dial. I think this model with the dial texture is more interesting overall.
unless u have huge wrist and hand like NBA players. this is actually TOO BIG in case size to be a TRUE FORMAL DRESS watch but should be fine for office/daily/casual wear. i purchased the green dial version and later purchased this despite i am Currently more keen in smaller sized formal dress watch which are 2 hand, ultra thin (under 7 or 8mm) and traditionally sized e.g. 32 to 37mm
Definitely not a dress watch - I don’t believe anyone would claim that!
Is the SRPB46J9 the same watch? What is the difference compared to the J1? thank you🍻
AFAIK what denotes the model is "SRPB46". What comes after denotes distribution regions and other factors, but the model is the same.
Un reloj muy atractivo, se tiene la opción del Orient bambino a una tercera parte del precio pero obviamente no va a tener esta hermosa carátula👍
What?
@@PerthWAtch you do not understand spanish?
Sorry mate, I don’t
Dress watch should be smaller, that's why I don't have Bambino. 38mm max for this kind of watch for me.
I hear you man... 40mm is no doubt popular but if they did it in 38mm it would also sell like hot cakes!
I went with Red.
Which model is that?
@@PerthWAtch the negroni verson
IT"S SUPER IVAN !
I don’t fly, I don’t jump any higher than 1m, nor can I run faster than a bicycle... but I know some things about watches ;)
Whats the opening song ?
Dunno man, did I put it in the notes?
Got this one today. Hope i made a good investment 😊😊
Congrats! You won’t get a monetary return but I do hope you get some form of returns nonetheless!
I may get one of these just cuz it’s the best dials you’re going to find for under $500.
It’s a chubby dress watch, but w/ that dial and price, who cares?
Chubby in terms of case diameter? I think the case thickness including glass at under 12mm is pretty good.
Gorgeous watch - spoiled by the lack of a sapphire crystal. Another cheap move from Seiko.
Yeah, agreed!
Guys Guys Guys Guys Guys!!!
Guys guys guys
And the price?
Watch the video for the answer to this and many more questions :)
hello Ivan. It has been a while since I commented. I hope that everything is going well with you in Perth. In L.A., from June 15, we do not have to wear masks anymore since most of us got vaccinated already. And I just came back from Guatemala, checking up on my coffee business (which is zilch at this moment in time) & NGO work for the families we are supporting. And unfortunately Guatemala is doing pretty bad, like most of 3rd world countries.... (you get jailed 24 hours if you do not wear masks on the street and in any types of shops...etc)
As for this Seiko Presage, I love the size, hands and especially the muffin crown. However, I am not a big fan of that sunburst dial nor that deployant clasp which is bit uncomfortable to wear. I am sure that a lot of people likes that design, but it is not for me. however, I can not help myself from comparing this to Orient bambino Model: FAC00001B0 which is exactly same looking one, except just shinny dial with regular crown, but with only one third of price.
I am sure that Seiko has better name and it has that muffin crown & deployant clasp & especially that sunburst dial, but I do not think that should cost more than 3 times than the Orient Bambino. However, I also can see that many people might prefer to have that gorgeous sunburst dial.
Thanks for the review Ivan and hope to see you here more often.
Hey thanks Alex - glad to hear you made it back without any issues, it's good work you are doing there!
I think the comfort of this style of clasp very much depends on where it sits on the wrist... if you have average size (like around 7 inch) then it is actually quite good, sitting on about the 4th-5th hole along. Larger or smaller then it gets a bit awkward because of the fixed curvature. That's an unfortunately by product of this type of design.
Orient Bambino are legendary... maybe I should get one for review just so I have at least done it!!
Sorry... My black open heart Presage looks better. 😎 These are incredibly nice watches! The whole line is great!
Which cocktail is that one??
@@PerthWAtch SSA359 Same dial but in black and open heart. Silver case.. Essentially the same watch.
Nice colour!
@@PerthWAtch And yours.. I think I heard somewhere there are 7 layers of enamel on these dials.
Lacquer I think, rather than enamel...
