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!
I've probably viewed 300 SARB065 pix in the last few days. They didn't prepare me for how stunning this dial is in person. Even the best photo doesn't do it justice. It's incredible.
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...

Finally got mine this week and I was blown away by the dial. Just gorgeous! The OEM strap is, uh, interesting, but I bought a couple of other options that I'll swap later. For now, here are my phone pics.
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.
Personally I do not like the plastic look and feel of the stock strap.
I am currently wearing mine with a dark blue (I think it s called midnight blue) aligator grain from bob marino
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.
It's probably the seiko deployant. I am usually wearing my straps on the 4th or 3rd hole, but with the seiko deployant I have to go all the way to the 1st hole, and it still feels a bit loose.
And here's a photo of my midnight blue alligator strap. Its... blueness is more evident in direct sunlight. In room lighting it can easily be mistaken for black

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.

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.
