Had the opportunity to handle the new JDM Presage model, SARX001. Most Presage models are powered by different variants of the 4R movement. This model however is powered by the 6R15C movement.
The workmanship and finishing of this watch is similar to that of the 6R15 cocktail time models. One area which surpassed the previous 6R15 models is probably the dial and hour markers which stood out well to grabbed my attention.
Here are some pictures.
Take note that the ‘S’ on the crown is different from the one found on models in the Mechanical line.
Diameter: 40mm
Lug width: 20mm
Thickness: 13mm

Nice pictures. The dial looks very ornate and well crafted.
Hoping your second to last picture with the diver’s clasp is of a different model though.

Hi, Do you think the bracelet from this watch would fit on the SARB065 Cocktail time watch? I’ve been looking for a metal strap for mine.
Thanks!

I don’t think so because the case looks different.
Research on the SARC015 bracelet. I suspect it might fit.

Nice watch 🙂 Is it true that sarx001 shows errors by up to 25 seconds each day. It seems much

According to the specs, it is +25 to -15 per day.

I know this thread is ancient, but just wanted to say I own this SARX001 and my watch runs +4 secs per day, resting on the crown at night. I’m thrilled and delighted with both the performance and the spectacular appearance of this watch. I think it’s gorgeous, and a steal at this price, especially considering the quality movement in it.
