    lol. Was just in the process of posting it when I opened another "deal" tab.

      Ha, yeah I got the bare minimum in and added details later.

      Oh, here we go. I'm sure some people only buy specs, but others buy brand, history, lineage, originality, quality, finish or whatever else (besides specs) appeals to the owner.

      Personally, I buy according to the latter part of the list, and am a Seiko fan, so would prefer the original to a Chinese homage/copy.

      Most likely not the Seiko JDM build quality either. I’d pay the extra for this any day. Knowing my watch was made in Japan as opposed to a Chinese sweatshop makes me feel much better.

      That is such a ridiculous statement. Let me go buy a Ssanyong because it's got Mercedes Engines, let me go buy a Vinfast because it's a rebadged BMW.
      NO!
      You buy according to the brand/prestige/history/liange, everything @pennypacker said.

      Big fan of reps and a big believer in their quality, but when it comes to sub 1k Seiko's it is extremely unlikely the quality to price difference of buying a rep is worthwhile.

        Maybe with this $99 Seiko offering I might agree

        But it should be noted Reps are technically illegal … homages not so much

    Mini-sarb, yet bigger than the sarb :(
    I wish Seiko made more 38/39mm watches…

    • +1

      Ha, yes, mini (budget) rather than mini (size).

  • It's… beautiful

    Good price. A nice watch.

    Green face, leather strap version SZSB018 also available $409.91

    • Thanks @davestan, there's a few other variants as well. I will add to the post at lunch…

    hardlex :'(

    • Hardlex doesn't make me hard

  • Its a nice watch!

  • I want the white dial - damn

  • It's all over, price has gone up to $831.62. If you liked it, I hope you got one.

  • +1

    Thanks, mate, got one for a friend's birthday! :) Bummed they didn't have the white dial on sale

  • Completed customs clearance process.

    That was fast. From USA to Australia in 2 days.

    • Wow, Amazon shipping never fails to impress. I bought some straps in Aus on the same day. They will take longer to arrive than the watch from the US.

      • Amazon is a level above all other with shipping speed. In the mean time i will keep my wrist warm with the SARB035.

    Looking good.
