sarb017 or sarb065 first?
considering to get the sarb017 or the sarb065. i really like the green look of the sarb017 but the sarb065 is a really classy dress watch. i just can't decide which to pull the trigger on.

found them both much cheaper on rakuten than getting it locally. anyone heard of anything cheaper anywhere else? should i consider rakuten or getting it locally?

Think more prefer the 017 more than the 065. The sunburst effect on the SARB017 is less obvious. At the end of the day, which do you prefer more> size wise they both wear quite differently on the wrist. So it is really up to you.

I prefer the 065 as I never liked the 017 :D

I have the SARB065 and also handle the SARB017 before. My vote goes to SARB065 becos to me the workmanship of the dial and hands of SARB065 seems to be better.

my advice, get the SARB065 first.



1 simple reason, SARB065 is NOT in 2013 catalog, SARB017 is.

Sarb065. Its more versatile for day to day wear.

well, if its in the cat, then they'd be making it. if its not in it, my guess is they stop making the sarb65s. so if u r interested in it, get it while u can, the 017 can wait. i got mine 2 weeks ago, im loving it. its so beautiful.

Wow that seller day dreaming or fishing for carrots.



We don't have to worry for nednil. He is getting his bnib at a lower price than that. And I think he pulled the trigger already.



Wrist shots soon ned!

Where can get sarb 065 bnib lower than the selling price selling on Sg roc? Sg or online?



the handful of shops physically selling bnib sarb 065 locally, all selling much higher than the sg roc seller price



jap online shops i believe the price, by the time it comes with conversion and gst, price maybe ard the price the sg roc seller is selling?? or even slightly higher

Hi Rabbit,



Initially ya saying the Sg roc deal ,the seller fishing for carrots, saying nednil can get a lower price than $580, bnib sonemore!



Then bro Wade said seiya price is $650 already, quite low if compared to skywatch or bigtime, not even to mention superchrono ! These 3shops sell upfront in their shop.



So where or how did u find the lower price u mentioned nednil can get?



Yes 650 is more than 580, we all know that!

So where,exactly is this place u mentioned? Online shop or local Sg shop?



If not can pm me? Tkc Kopi on me next time if u see me at k2?

They are still the current model in Taiwan.







If I get the same discount, probably will be 580-590.

Re: sarb017 or sarb065 first?
I think what he was trying to say is better to buy bnib at 650 than lnib at 580. But didn,t phrase himself clearly. ButI don,t think lnib at 580 is chop carrot either, especially compared to what people are selling blue ltd edns for :) and compared to local pricing.

Re: sarb017 or sarb065 first?
I'd go with the 17. Cos of its rugged military feature. The 65 is a little common amongst us cos of its versatility.



Be brave and try something uncommon!

The even bigger question than "whether the piece is in production or not", is "whether the buyer is likes it enough to pay for it or not".

Re: sarb017 or sarb065 first?
havent pulled the trigger on the sarb065 yet though. went to big time ytd but they just sold the only piece they had a couple of days back. tried the sarb017. really love the look of it. but i feel the face fits abit small and it wont really have much wrist time. anyone seen a new sarb065 sold for less than S$600? so far thats about S$600+ to import it i think.
