Deepak must've managed to get the Star Deal page working properly again, and today it's one of the ever-popular Presage Cocktail Time watches 'The Blue Curacao'. Remember, Friday's deal price is good till 10am Monday morning. There's plenty in stock (40+ at time of posting) so at this price it's a no-brainer, but I expect they won't last long.

Full specs:

  • Case Diameter: 39.5mm
  • Case Thickness: 11.8mm
  • Case Material: Stainless Steel w/ screw back
  • Movement: Automatic 4R35 with date
  • Crystal: Hardlex Glass
  • Strap: Leather w/ 3-fold clasp
  • WR: 50m

    Beautiful watch. I love mine :)

      Agree. The photo does not do it justice. It has a milky shine to the blue that is hard to describe.

    Waiting for a deal on the red dial

    I haven’t seen this in person, can we return if don’t like?

    • Hardlex glass

    Funny how that's absent from the Specs tab for this watch, but they always have crystal spec for watches that feature sapphire.

      Hi there. Hardlex glass is marked in the description. We are using a new search system that will have the crystal type as one of the filter fields. All the items are being indexed and will be updated shortly.

        Omfg the feature we need 🙏🏻

    But sapphire can break easier?

    Whereas hardlex has lesser scratch resistance.

    So trading pros and cons really.

    And at this price it's reasonable to have hardlex.

      For watches targetted toward everyday wear or not used in high-risk environments, scratch resistance is more desired than shatter resistance.

        I have had a Seiko Solar chronograph for 10 years now (Sept 2014) and I just looked at it and not another scratch on the dial.

        Having said that the design of it means it doesn't get knocked on the side.

        But based on my experience the Hardlex does just fine… I got more knicks on the stainless chassis/strap which shoes its age. The glass itself is perfect.

          I have a few Seikos with Hardlex and haven't had scratches. Hardlex would not stop me buying a watch.

          • jolygood on 09/08/2024 - 12:56

            @ihfree: I have a presage. I wear it everyday. Unfortunately it has few scratches. I can feel them with my fingernails.
            I believe it's due to the dome shape that quite protruding, it has higher chance of getting scratches. I still love it. Very mesmerising face dial, and the hands looks so clean and sharp.

            • ihfree on 09/08/2024 - 13:14

              @jolygood: I also have a presage, though, not everyday wear. I love the dial on it.

              From what I've read, one downside of Hardlex is that scratches are harder to remove. That said, If they're not noticeable or bothering you, who cares? Just enjoy the watch.

    • O15 on 09/08/2024 - 12:15

      I look at it this way; most people are more likely to bump their watch in a way which would scratch a mineral crystal but not a sapphire crystal than they are to bump their watch in a way which will shatter a sapphire crystal but not a mineral crystal.

      Yes, both mineral crystal and sapphire crystal have their benefit but the benefit of sapphire will likely be more relevant to most use cases.

    Was waiting for the Green Dial :(

    • skamalpreet on 09/08/2024 - 11:09

      @StarBuy any chance for the same price

        Unfortunately the green dial was not offered to us by Seiko for a deal.

    • Cheapskaterr on 09/08/2024 - 15:14

      but did u think the gold second hand looks good or strange?

      Nice gift. Lucky you!

    Nice looking watch and a great price, can't help comparing everything to the Star Bar though :-(

      Looks nice. Shame it is open heart.

      • Circly on 09/08/2024 - 12:34

        Not a fan of open heart?

        • O15 on 09/08/2024 - 14:00

          Not really. Not when little to no effort is put into it.
          Same goes for skeleton watches.

          Don't just delete the dial or put a hole in the dial and call it job done.
          The movement has to be made to look special to be worthy of replacing a nice dial.
          For most skeleton and open heart watches, you're just looking through to an ordinary movement.

    hardlex.. next!

    • heef on 09/08/2024 - 12:31

      For $300 hardlex is a reasonable trade-off.

      • shabaka on 09/08/2024 - 13:10

        I guess so. but still I am not buying another hardlex watch, easier to resist these deals this way 😋

  • Jinster on 09/08/2024 - 12:30

    I wish they made it $300 so I can get GST back via TRS.

  • opposablethumbs on 09/08/2024 - 13:17

    Got this for same price in Starbuy sale in May.

    Great watch, rivals my ice blue Cocktail Time. Also quite like the slightly smaller diall.

  • Aldonis on 09/08/2024 - 13:52

    The new Presage GMTs look great but somehow I don't think we'll ever see them discounted

  • LackingRuth on 09/08/2024 - 14:18

    Great deal on a great looking watch. Waiting for Irish Coffee at this price to pop my cocktail cherry.

      I really want to like that watch with the brown dial and gold hands & indexes, but the silver stainless steel case clashes a bit. It would have been far nicer in a gold coloured case, methinks.

      • LackingRuth on 09/08/2024 - 15:27

        100% agree. Tbh it's mostly because I can't get the Old Fashioned (SRPD36J1) out of my head :(
