Every once in a while I guess we all get lucky. I stumbled on this one, listed a few days ago for a very reasonable BIN. The listing stated the original bracelet and box were included, but with no photos to back it up. Although it certainly looked to be genuine, I was very conscious there are a lot of fakes out there. So I messaged the seller for some more photos which duly arrived a few hours later, putting my mind at ease. I must admit I was surprised it hadn’t been snapped up, but this might have been because of the category it was listed under. I hesitated no longer, hit ‘buy it now’, and the postman delivered it yesterday afternoon. So, what did I pick up? Well, something I’ve wanted for quite a while but have never been able to find at a decent price until now - a SARB035. And this one came with some extras fitted - an Uncle Seiko Jubilee bracelet and a Crystaltimes CT123 flat sapphire with date cyclops (original crystal and bracelet were also included).  Now I know the cyclops won’t be to everyone’s taste, but I really like it. The Uncle Seiko is just a tad too tight (the seller forgot to include the removed links, but they’re on the way to me now) so a little while ago I sized the original bracelet. I think this will be on my wrist for a few days yet!! |

here's my favorite mini-turtle. the case has been de-creased, also bead-blasted, and that's got to be the most modern dial around...  |

And extra goodies too! I too like the cyclops. I've never had issues with them. Enjoy. |

Great score Nick, mine is one of my favourite watches that I own. I nabbed mine for a decent price too which always makes it that much sweeter! I bought the bracelet after which made the watch for me, I was always umming and ahhing about what to put it on before. |
