“I can’t say enough about the Cocktail Time, it looks so much better in person and looks like a much more expensive watch. I have a good number of mid-tier Swiss watches and I think I’m going to start looking at Seiko more often. I’ve owned other Seikos, but this just renews my interest!”
“The dial is amazing and the finishing is good. However, the watch I received came with two major dents right above the one hour mark.
Where is quality control before shipment?”
“The new 2017 Seiko Presage "Cocktail Time" series is an absolute outstanding collection of wristwatches from the most successful watchmaker in the world. The very affordable #SRPB77 model is a classic gem masterly crafted in Japan now with the Seiko Trimatic System. The radiant silver-yellowish dial and silver hour markers with gun metal blue hands is a perfect combination delivering a quasi-hypnotic continuous attraction. Also, the accuracy of the automatic movement it's much better than the specs stated easily beating many swiss very expensive calibers. The beautifully crafted stainless steel bracelet is somehow a bit heavy on the wrist. Thus, I have replaced it with a genuine italian strap in lizard black leather which has even greatly enhanced the look of the watch set. And once again, I couldn't go without praising the excellent, flawless and friendly top service that Marc is delivering through his online business to watch collectors and general customers around the world.”
“This is just a fantastic watch for the price.
The dial is of course the star of the show, and reflects light from almost any direction. This pairs very well with the domed crystal to give it a bit of a vintage feel. Some online like to gripe about how it says Presage instead of Automatic, but it doesn't really bother me, and I feel it still looks very classy.
I'd like to see the hands be a bit more vibrant color of blue, but as is they still shine when the light hits them just right. They're a very deep blue that is hard to capture in photos that they ofter appear black under many conditions.
The bracelet is also a nice addition, and I feel it really sets this watch apart. The partially polished finish gives it a subtle two tone effect that makes the watch feel dressy in a "going out" way that feels right at home on a watch called a cocktail time.
Overall I'm quite happy with this watch and I look forward to wearing it for years to come.”
“I've been after this watch for a long time now. As soon as they came into stock here in the UK they would sell out straight away. So even with the import duty and VAT, it still worked out a cheap time piece. Looks great too and sits under a shirt cuff well. Dealing with Marc was a joy too.”
“The watch is exactly what I was expecting and I got it here for the cheapest price I found anywhere in store or online. I will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!”
