Seiko Astron Giugiaro SSE121J Limited Edition $1899 Shipped @ Starbuy

https://www.starbuy.com.au/seiko-astron-gps-solar-limited-ed…

Cracker deal for what is an extrodinary watch. YMMV with looks but I love the design - a sort-of homage to the ripley/bishop, with the offset dial and the incredible lightness. It's also not as bulky on the wrist as you'd think.

Still RRP'ing for $5.3k at the seiko boutique.

Yes it's a $1.9k watch, so make it your birthday, easter and christmas present. do iiiiiitttt.

NB: there's no lume and the buckle scratches easily.

NNB: apparently last 6 in the country.

      What you did there. 👀

        He timed it perfectly.

          Give me second to applaud the puns in this thread.

          Let's all put our hands together.

    Thanks OP, at this price I ordered 5. One for every room. Wait, I can wear it on my wrist in every room. Can I return 4? 🤔

    • +1

      only 5?

      • 😄 no more money mate

    • They only managed to secure a stock of 3 of these :(.

      Which technically doesn't make it a deal but I think we can overlook that for these kinda deals.

    • -5

      I'll give you $100 CASH TONIGHT for one.

      • uh… neggers, it was a parody of gumtree lowball offers.

        • Should have called them a bed wetter for not accepting your low ball offer. Then you are talking gumtree craziness.

          • @xoom: LOL. Haven't experienced that.
            I just realised that this was my first comment in this deal. I then made a comment down below explaining my negative vote and down-voted the deal, but it probably looks like I'm negging the deal on the basis of my joke comment above :s

    That is one ugly watch.

    • +1

      yup and it costing almost 2 k LOL

      • It truly is. Look Astrons are top tier in craftmanship. They are no doubt marketed in the same tier as GS by Seiko. However, to spend so much money, you really need to truly and beyond love that watch upon purchase. It helps if the design reflects the price tag.

    Astron has a perpetual calendar that will not need to be manually corrected until February 28, 2100.

    No good to me, I hate having to adjust my watch, even if it is in 81 years time

  • Thank OP, bought 3

  • +1

    Nice watch for blind people I guess.

  • Buy an Omega or Tudor for a little bit more :P

    • Tudor maybe, but what Omega? Maybe 2nd hand?

  • even they are not discount this one, I would not pay for 5 k … epic failed

  • +1

    certainly doesn't look like a 5k watch

  • +1

    Looks like someone ate the left side of the watch.

  • Does a free car come complimentary 😁

    • +1

      Sorry, 80k investments are not in stock.

  • +1

    Thats the kind of deal we should see more often as we are supposedly on 300k pa.

    • All depends on size of the mortgage (or mortgages) and other financial commitment. High household income does not necessary mean high disposable income.

      Ie. Household income of 500k (post tax app 300k) with 3 kids in private school (38k x 3) with a sizeable mortgage will not have the disposable income of a grad on $70k with no financial commitment. (Unless if it's a Westpac grad).

    Who ever designed that strap mounting must have been drunk…

    • When the intern rocks up drunk and has full design control.

  • -5

    Wow so cheap I bought 10 for my every family member :)

    • +4

      Either you are referring to https://www.warrenbuffett.com/warren-buffett-yacht/

      or

      Purely ignorant. $2k is not even enough for one of the cheapest "luxury" watch.

    • it is not luxury but seller tried to rip off us by putting 5 k tag and seems noone wants to buy for it

    • Sorry I didnt know there was a salary cap for OzBargain. What is the salary cutoff above which you are supposed to pay full price for everything?

  • -2

    With only 6 in stock, I don't believe this is a useful deal for the community.

    Limited Quantity
    If your deal has limited quantity, please mention it in the description. As a general guide, deals with less than 10 items in stock at the time of submission may be unpublished, but moderators may, at their discretion, allow deals to stay if they are potentially useful to the community.

    • Well mel-waukee's bought 5 of these so only 1 left

      • Then watch grey sellers should be banned. The reason why you get Rolex at discount prices through Jomashop is they buy unsold inventory. For some brands, that's <10 for a particular model. They just don't disclose the numbers.

        IMO, the answer is it depends. Because of the high entry costs, having stock <10 means those who are serious about this bargain get a very good chance at buying.

  • Too much for a seiko

  • What's a "lume"?

    • +1

      What's lume?*

      Short for luminescence, at a guess.

      • Thanks. Thought it was some watch term/feature!
