      Wow stop picking the highest price you can find to compare, you're so misleading. $216.81USD delivered from jomashop with code CTZ20, which equates to ~$300AUD. Seriously, just stop it

          Not sure, perhaps it's only valid on selected watches or possibly only on the watch listed? I tried it on the watch listed and discount was applied.

              TBH I haven't really ordered anything from the states since the new GST laws came in to play nor do I know if there's a workaround to avoid it. Just to be safe, assume it's gst excluded

        • PJC on 02/11/2018 - 18:44

          As usual, Australian watch vendors charge what they want. Our best defence is to pay the lowest price possible.

        • NixMo1 on 02/11/2018 - 19:07

          PJC has a history of using large differences in price to give the illusion of a great bargain in order to gain likes.
          Unfortunately this isn't a place to help one another, apparently it's a high school popularity contest where certain members stick to each other like a pack of rats.
          Sorry PJC, we know your true colours, no need to back pedal now.
          + or - me folks, idc, but every time PJC is being misleading I'll be there to point it out because it's straight out unfair to every other member

            I think PJC's comments & post history will show who is actually helping others.

            Somehow in your very short comment history you have already managed to be caught out personally attacking someone Maybe you could use your time better by posting your 2nd deal in 4 years as a member rather than picking on other members.

            • NixMo1 on 02/11/2018 - 20:09

              @WatchNerd: Again, watchnerd can't help himself.
              Let me ask you something. You were quick to say "Where did he mention Amazon was the next best price", but one could also ask, did he show a high price to make your post look like a greater bargain than what it actually is?
              Again where PJC goes, you follow and vice versa. This is the high school BS I was talking about.
              FYI you know the controversy around his BS rrp watch price deals he posted, misleading people. So much so, he is no longer allowed to post in the format he once did <- facts!
              I apologise I don't dedicate my time searching and posting bargains, but I do appreciate all the posts from members who have posted legitimate deals I've managed to snag a bargain.
              Again. Every time he's misleading. I WILL POINT IT OUT. This is OzBargain, not OzMakeitlooklikeabargain

                Ozbargain is just a bit of fun for me and I post deals to try and give back to the community. Sorry if you have a problem with that.

              @WatchNerd: So far nobody found a lower price than $289 Express Shipped. Therefore all other prices are higher. Here is that Citizen Eco-Drive BJ7000-52E Promaster Nighthawk for US$395 = $545.68. I wonder which price is a bargain?

                @PJC: Lol come on PJC, don't twist my words. I never said it wasn't the lowest price for that watch, as a matter of fact, watchnerd always posts great prices if not the lowest.
                One thing he never does, is find and advertise the highest price he could find making it look like a better bargain than what it is. He leaves this to the user to research on their own to decide if it's a bargain, he doesn't influence their decision, he's completely neutral.
                Unlike you, which you've just done again.

                    Here he is now doing it on his "mates" posts. All I ask is to stop using unrealistic comparable prices as not to influence other users.

                    Again, you're the perfect example of this high school popularity BS. You'd rather have other users shut up while he misleads people lolol

      I have had this exact nighthawk for 12 years purchased from MYERS for $320. Moved to a dumb smart watch (Huawei) 2 years ago @$$$ and went back to my NightHawk after getting sick of charging every night. The Huawei has become an expensive paper weight.

      • ruprectaus on 02/11/2018 - 18:54

        I lasted 2 weeks with my Huawei before I gave up . I have a Citizen Solar GPS watch that I picked up from a link posted here that I use all the time.

        I thought the GPS would be a wank, but being anal retentive I appreciate the push a button adjust accuracy of watch awesomeness and never having to have it go flat from solar.

        My most expensive paperweight is my Tag Hueher , battery goes flat so often I don't bother wearing it.

      • PJC on 02/11/2018 - 19:11

        Flog that Huawei liability on Gumtree or eBay. I have never understood the attraction of wearing a device that measures my pulse etc. That would worry the blinking flip out of me.

      @0zeebee . Seiko have retired the SRPB99K from Australia. The way they are going with the PADI models, we think they will all be JDM models from now on. We purchased all the last inventory they had but could not get them to lower the price anymore. Seeing that this is a WatchNerd post, we have released the stock we have on hand to be priced at $399.

    The case thickness should be 11.8mm on the SRPB41J.
    14.5mm is the thickness of the models with power reserve / 4R57 movement.

    SRPB41J is nice watch. Briefly had one earlier in the year, which I sent back due to scratches on the crystal. Would be picking this up if I hadn't purchased the light blue one from Qantas offer.

        dude its an automatic watch with a movement that rivals swiss watches that cost 10 times more!

        • ilikeit on 02/11/2018 - 23:15

          Mate I've had several watches with this movement, I have one in my watch box and another on the way. The presage uses a 4R35. This is a very common workhorse movement. It's even used in basic Invicta autos, but unfortunately it's only low beat compared to high beat Swiss movements or higher spec Miyotas.

          FYI the previous model Cocktail is superior to this Presage. It has a sapphire crystal and a 6R15 movement which is improved and has better tolerances.

          • ihfree on 03/11/2018 - 00:19

            @ilikeit: Minor correction - The original Cocktail Time (SARB065) did still use Hardlex. In addition to the better movement(as a user the main difference would be more power reserve - 50 hours vs 42) it had slightly more intricate markers, and a smaller crown.

          • DiscoJango on 03/11/2018 - 08:46

            @ilikeit: correct in that regard. however trying to find a new cocktail time is near impossible. the presage is very good value for what you get, and a great looking watch.

            • ilikeit on 03/11/2018 - 09:14

                    @ilikeit: i know what "grey market" means in terms of ipads, eg: genuine apple product, however a little different specs to AU stock and no local warranty. is the seiko the same? or they get made in a different factory than regular stock

                    • ilikeit on 04/11/2018 - 09:39

                      @DiscoJango: They all come from the same factory - SARBs and Presage are JDM. Is's usually the warranty. Sometimes they have 'international' warranty, sometimes it is back to base. Seiko has service centres in most capital cities and I've read of several people getting their grey market watches serviced/repaired/adjusted under warranty.

                      • DiscoJango on 04/11/2018 - 10:31

                        @ilikeit: ok thanks. i personally like the blue dial of the presage more than the silver (cool) dial of the original cocktail time. plus ive got nothing in my collection with a bright blue dial!

  • Pete10001 on 02/11/2018 - 22:29

    Why does Starbuy get so many plugs? I did a quick search and they usually get a mention every few days. In fact on some days they even get multiple mentions, usually by the same posters. Almost seems like they have some sort of commercial arrangement. Surely there should be some sort of limit? Otherwise it would be like me advertising each of the 30 day Macca deals on a daily basis

    • ilikeit on 02/11/2018 - 23:32

      Easy. The majority of watches posted on here were either China cheapies or from Amazon US. Also, GST charged from some websites and OS retailers along with high shipping charges kills deals. That being said there are a lot of OS retailers who don't charge GST. Starbuy provides long Australian warranty and some of their deals are competitively globally.
