As an owner of the SRPB63J1 (has the "Presage Automatic" at the 6 o'clock position), I have some questions, but would also like to clarify some of your questions too. I got mine from a local watch shop in Singapore, for about S$260 or US$196, brand new with tag and 1 year warranty by the shop itself.
Also, I'm guessing the difference between the 0x and 6x models of this watch is just the words on the watch face. The 0x model has the cursive "Automatic", while the 6x which I own, has the "Presage Automatic". It's probably for different market regions. Just my guess... I may be wrong, but I am going to use these assumptions for later parts of this comment so to make things easier for me.
Here's some answers to your questions: -The watch's lug width is 20mm (20.10mm actually for strap clearance), measured with vernier calipers. -Back of the watch says "Top Sapphire Crystal", so yes, the top is Sapphire. But I'm not so sure about the rear window. Probably just plain glass or hardlex? -The watch features a 4R35B Seiko movement which only has 23 Jewels. It's stated in the specifications section of the user's manual and on the rotor of the movement. 24 Jewels are for 4R36, 37, 38 and 39 variants.
What I'm confused/wanna ask: -I saw both 0x and 6x models, each in different shops in my area. The 6x costs around S$270~$300 (US$203~$226) while the 0x is around the S$500 range (US$380). Why the big price difference? I believe there are no counterfeits of this watch yet, cos who would wanna fake an entry-level Seiko that is not that popular (as in its hard to find details about the watch)? -Any idea when this watch is released? It's damn hard to find details on this watch (like I said earlier)! Seiko only officially list this watch on their UK website, and even then, it's the 0x model and they don't say much about the watch. Would be cool if you know! :)
