[WTS] SARW015; a “Hi-Beat” JDM from Seiko, with circular Day & Date and a Power Reserve Indicator
A great value proposition by Seiko. Presage pricing with a Hi-Beat 6R21 Ananta level movement. **Model**: Seiko SARW015 / 6R21-01A0 **Year**: January 2016 **Video**: [Click here to see a video of the watch in action](https://www.instagram.com/p/C7RLfI2ojsx/) ***- Minimalist***: A subtle Presage design, despite the busy face. Featuring a circular day-date complication, as well as a power reserve indicator. The three sub-dials are indented into the cream-coloured dial, which gives the watch just enough flair to feel like a Presage without overdoing it. The dial is a beautiful matte cream colour. ***- The Movement***: Inside is a 6R21, which is essentially a hi-beat upgrade to the more standard Presage 6R15 movement. With 28,888 bph, 29 jewels, and the circular day-date complication with power reserve, this movement is typically found in the more expensive Seiko Ananta line, rather than in Presages. That’s great news for us though, as it retains the Presage price point despite the Ananta movement! ***- High Spec***: It isn’t just the movement that received an upgrade. A lot of the Presage range uses Seiko’s proprietary Hardlex, but the SARW015’s crystal is sapphire with anti-reflective coating on the underside. The case is anti-magnetic and is rated to 10 bars of pressure. **The Condition**: In very good condition overall. The crystal and dial unmarked. The case has a hairline scratches, but nothing particularly noticeable or unpleasant. The bracelet also has some hairlines and fits a 18.5cm (7.3”) wrist. The place with the most marks is the bezel, but it’s a brushed bezel so they aren’t overly eye-catching unless you’re looking for them. **Scope**: Includes the original bracelet. No box or papers. **Movement**: 6R21 28,800 “Hi-Beat”, 29 Jewels Automatic. **Case Width**: 40.5mm **Case Thickness**: 12.7mm **Price**: Offered at **$640** plus shipping. Bank Wire, Wise.com, PayPal or Shopify via my website are accepted. Not accepting trades. Fees paid by you. **Of note**: Nothing to report.
