the price increment from the old sarb017 is just insane

for this amount with unsigned crown too. can't they even bring back the crown from the sarb017  mega_shok.gif

I think seiko increasing the pricing will kill a lot of mid tier jdm watch collectors that adores this brand for their affordability as opposed to swiss counterparts
*
seiko already been increasing prices of the 6r models like the sumo / shogun... then the newer 6rmas / mm200...
while 4r models are taking over the old 6r prices.

that's why i think those "rumors" of alpinist / sarb getting discontinued is for ppl to quickly buy off remaining stocks... of cos that backfired abit since they're still readily available.
looking at the trend, the discontinued applies more to the 6r15... the models with 6r15 are just casualties...
then those models will later get upgraded with 6r35...like sumo / alpinist...

the old SARBs are likely just going to go up in price, especially when the 'new' benchmark is MSRP at around usd700.
*
i doubt they will...maybe just a fraction...
but eventually the new sarbs will also drop in price...

Hard to say la. the 017 @ usd400 is now being touted as a fantastic price, which to me is mind boggling given what we paid for it just a few years back.

Seiko is pushing it's price point higher and justifying it with the LE or upgraded spec game, but I guess that isn't unexpected.
*
well when it came out the retail price was also usd400+...and back then the currency wasnt as bad as it is now.
i remember them around rm1.2-1.3k?

even the sumo which has already gotten the 6r35...well u dont exactly see the 6r15 models shooting up in price...nor the non-x models...
imo any price increase is mainly due to currency fluctuations...

Is this the Sakura Fubuki cocktail SRPC03 limited edition?
*
no...its SRPC97 aka Fuyugeshiki aka Winter Scene.

i actually dont like the Sakura...cos the dial is very "geometric"..

Good luck 👍

Unfortunately for the me, my first auto was the Kamasu, with
Time accuracy of +12-25+ when I bought it. Refunded it. Staying with quartz only. Hate to reset time date when I go through my collection. Hate to set the date for my quartz as well for months less than 31.

Next watch will be a perpetual calendar. Maybe Bluetooth.
*
there are quite a few seiko quartz with perpetual under rm1k.
i kinda like the SPC131 / 133.

correct. But my wrist can only support like 47 mm lug length. Before it goes over. I think my next watch is the casio royal oak. Comfortable with it. Technically analogue with perpetual calendar
*
u do realize the casio is 48.5mm lug to lug right...
this proves that lug to lug isn't the only factor but how the lug is designed also.

Yes. It wears smaller than the dimensions suggest. My entire wrist width is 50 mm. I've tried it, it fits well. My seiko sgeg097p1 wears bigger even if that is 47 mm. That has standard lug design.
*
i would think it looks bigger, cos its all dial... very typical of any dress watch more than say 38mm.

is there a decent seiko with SS bracelet that's hackable and not a diver and presage? Either 4R or 6R movement. I want something in between diver and dress watch. Already had too many divers and also have cocktail time.

Or this, is it available locally?

*

cut the strap like that feels weird since the middle part where both sides meet each other's stitching would disappear

but anyhow is a good option to consider when cannot find shorter length straps

?
i believe the pic shows the factory rubber strap...

Genuine. they have online store in Lazada and Shopee. last night only they responded to my msg in shopee laugh.gif

edit: just checked out their website. better off u buy from their online store in shopee as it is cheaper
*
their site looks dodgy as hell tho.
didnt even bother to edit the template and put their company info etc in...like a quick hack job and trying to con some quick cash.
