I bought the Presage Mojito with the guilloché dial about a year ago and it's one of the few pieces that I often get compliments when I'm wearing it. Most of my other watches costing 10, 15 times more than this go unnoticed 99% of the time. Like a lot people say, nobody does dials like Seiko. It's mesmerizing. The strap is a thrown away, though.

I have the red Cocktail Time, aka Negroni, and I quite like it. It looks lovely, and wears nicely. The size is great. It also has the "fishscale" pattern, but it's harder to see. I also really like the Seiko deployant clasp. It work well, and is very comfortable.

I really like both 38.5mm watches. Very nice dials. If they were more affordable like around 300.00 I would get one, having hardlex and not sapphire is disappointing. 425.00 is too much in my opinion. Having a small wrist I can appreciate the size of the watch. And you are right, Seiko is great at making dials. 5000 sq feet is huge. I can't imagine the rent on that space. Good luck Mark. Hope your expansion works out for you.

Hi Marc, that would be a quilted dial. You can also refer to it as a checkered dial like on a gun stock. That is truly what it is, but referred to in the old days as quilted.

I can't understand why the Presage models are paired with such plain straps. The elegance of these dress watches demands that they be paired with a glossy, padded and stiched lizard, alligator or crocodile strap, even if it's just embossed instead of the real deal exotic skin. The supplied Presage strap belongs on a tool watch, not a dressy one.
