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!
In my humble opinion the criticism levelled against the stock strap is unfounded. I love it, and it suits the watch better than any aftermarket strap I have yet tried, and I've tried a few! Yes it is quite stiff initially, and the "back to front" clasp does take some getting used to, but after a few months wear it becomes quite supple and very comfortable. Again, your mileage may vary...
This watch is spectacular. Do you guys know what a good price would be for this watch if I got it used? I've searched ebay and I think it's somewhere around $350.
OT... I have 2 questions if you'd take the time to indulge me - a fashion/technology-trogloyte (if not, I understand of course).
1. I'm a big guy, 6'3" 230lbs, with 8" wrists. Do you think this watch would wear 'too small' on a person with those dimensions, regarding modern fashion trends?
2 Can this watch be dressed down enough for business casual?
It definitely can be dressed down. As far as wrist presenc on an 8" wrist...I think it would be rather small. It's 40 and wears small and tall. I wear a 36 but feel like better 43mm is probably my sweet spot. My wrist is 6.75. I'd think the 065 would be like a 36 on me. The KS is a 36mm and the FFF is a 43mm. Both wear small for their size. If you don't think the KS is to small on me then I think you will be happy with the 065 on your wrist. Good thing is if you buy it and don't like it you can ship it off back to Amazon no questions asked. Alternatively put it on the forum and it will sell in under an hour.
After 2 years, i finally bought a Cocktail time. BNIB.
I wonder why i waited so long. Despite its flaws, the dial alone is worth €500 imo. Just stunning!
do you find that the 12 o'clock marker and 6 o'clock market is slightly misaligned or not straight? The 12 o'clock market seems to be slightly towards more left or is my eyes playing tricks on me due to the dome crystals?
Photos of the Cocktail Time, this time on a Hirsch Medici strap with blue stitching and curved ends.
