“The Seiko SRPB77 has been on my list of watches to buy for a couple of years. Every time I had a chance to buy it, it would always be out of stock from the sites I’d shop at. But Long Island Watches had them I stock, and was selling them for way less than they were going for had I bought directly from Seiko. It was an easy decision to buy from Long Island Watches instead.
I’m not really in to dressy watches, but I had to make an exception in this case. That white starburst dial is just gorgeous, specially when it catches the light. The blued hand set gives a heightened visual appeal.
The silver applied indeces and logo catch the light well, just like the dial, and is also gorgeous in its own right.
40.5mm across, 20mm lug width, 11.8mm thick; it’s a comfortable fit.
The 4R35 caliber performs fine straight out the box, or at least mine did anyway. A solid workhorse of a movement.
The bracelet was a little tricky for me. As pretty as it looks, it was a little pain to adjust. As soon as you take out the pin that holds the outer and inner links together, a tiny cylindrical piece comes out. That tiny piece, is what keeps the pin from falling out of the links. So, when I got that settled and sized the bracelet to my wrist, it was all good from there.
The butterfly deployment clasp does its job well enough. Stamped metal, not too bad, but not too great either. When both ends snap together, the bracelet looks seamless; pretty cool in my opinion.
No lume, and hardly any WR. But for a dress watch, totally permissible.
The box shaped hardlex crystal looks great, and the exhibition case back is nice too. The gold rotor is a nice touch.
Adding everything together, the SRPB77 is an amazing watch, and great value for money. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.”
“This watch is one of the best looking dresswatches I've owned. The dial is amazing and has several color facings depending on the light conditions. From silver to champagne. I wear this watch for several occasions, but looks best while wearing suits.
It comes with a bracelet that at first hand looks great but feels a little bit cheap. But that's no problem for me at all, 'cause I'm going for a leather strap anyway.”
“I needed a slimmer silver dress watch for my wedding. The dial and blue hands are awesome. They change quite a bit depending on how the light catches it. The only shortcoming is the bracelet. Wouldn't change my mind about choosing this one as some of the other cocktail models come on a relatively low quality looking strap. Can't wait to get it on a nice leather strap!”
“This is a gorgeous watch. Particularly given its price range. The pics of the dial don't do it justice and the blue hands just pop. Great polished case. Looking forward when I can go out for a dress occasion again to wear it more.”
