it's not an Urushi dial as far as I know, just a deep shiny black. The model number is SARW015.

I had to look up 'Urushi' as I was not familiar with it. Now I do want a watch with an Urushi dial.. :)

Frank, you do indeed, once you have seen one in the flesh they are rather special. Photos just do not do justice to the transparent depth of the black lacquer - though I keep trying! I also lust after the ceramic dial Presages, but have resisted (so far) as the designs are too similar to my SARD012.

A gorgeous example!!..the rose gold accents compliment the dial face splendidly..it's a wonder what Japanese craftsmen can do w/ brushes constructed from the underarm hair of rats..here's few of mine to continue the parade...


1st, a SARX029..

Next, it's close cousin, a SARW013..

A real addict! But they are gorgeous and the hand painting is just incredible. I think these are much under appreciated, but understandably as they have to be seen in the flesh.

Alas, mine died and after 4 returns for repair, I decided that we should part company. The AD was unable to supply another and Alpina were apparently unwilling to assist, so a refund was gratefully received!

Shame really as it was a corking watch!

Strangely I have had 3 Alpinas and all of them have had to go back for repair within 2 weeks. 2 had to go back multiple times before refunds, and I still have the third.
