We seem to have an "official" thread for almost every other watch, so why not the SARB065. This is a watch that I feel will one day be a classic. I believe as soon as they quit making this one, it will be one of the "must have" Seiko's................
I'll start, some more pics of my SARB065 that I recieved about a week ago.......loving it!

Finally liberated mine from its plastic-looking OEM strap. It detracted so much from the luxurious look of the watch that I couldn't wear it any more. Of course, I still can't wear it now, but at least I can stare at it lovingly and more easily envision different colors and patterns of watchbands...

Can you post a video on how to remove the strap?

I think I'm the only person on this board who actually likes the stock strap. I find it comfortable and very complementary to the watch itself.
Upon further review, I don't think the strap is nearly as bad as everyone make it out to be. I think it fits the look/feel of the watch perfectly.
I just got mine last week and have a brown strap with white contrast stitching that I was going to put it on. But the bluish tone to the dial really works well with a black strap, and the OEM strap does work. It's certainly unique.

I also bought a black leather gator grain strap (actually 2, one with white contrast stitching and one without). I may swap to one of those black straps to dress it down just a tad.

Took some proper pictures of the watch last night. I still have the OEM strap on it, as the new straps I bought don't have enough holes for my pencil wrist. Weird, because the strap is the same size as the OEM, but they just have fewer holes. I have a punch somewhere, so I'll take a shot with that first.

I had this problem with my Alpinist. I ended up putting another hole in the strap and now it's perfect.

You're right. The 065 is not plain-jane like your GQ. BTW, is "Grand Quartz" just a nickname you gave your watch? That doesn't have a Grand Seiko logo like a normal GS.

Sent from my vacation home on the Moon.
Don't think it's a nickname, it's printed right there on the dial!

As for the SARB being blingy, well... it is called the Cocktail Time not the Business Time.

My Cocktail Time loses 2 minutes every week. Do you think is it normal?

Any mechanical watch can do that. The Cocktail Time uses the 6R15 movement, which is rated at +25 to -15 seconds per day. If you're losing 2 minutes a week, then you're likely consistend with the -15 seconds/day rating. Just open it up and adjust it.
