Hi folks!  For sale is a gem of a like-new neo-vintage Seiko, the classic cream dial SARB035.   For those of you who know this watch, it really needs no introduction.  But the story behind this one is very cool – it was procured as NOS by a Seiko AD for a Seiko event that they ran for the public.  It was purchased as a new watch at the event in 2023 (!).  The owner removed the bracelet, put it on a nato, wore it a few times and then returned it.  As such, this was likely one of the last new SARB035s ever sold and could very well be one of the nicest examples in the world right now! Condition wise I would put this at 98%.  There are no major or minor flaws on the case, crystal or bracelet.  The only signs that I can tell that it has been worn are some very light marks on the back of the lugs from the bracelet change.  Otherwise this presents like new on the wrist.  With 20-30 hand winds I clocked the movement at 7 s/d, your mileage may vary though! This watch will come with the box, paperwork, manual, and unsigned warranty card (for whatever reason the AD didn’t stamp it).  For those Seiko geeks:  the packaging was the American version with the black interior and regular English warranty, NOT jdm as JDM packaging has the grey box with tan interior and Japanese warranty.

Not interested in trades at this time.  Please message me with any questions or interest and thanks for looking!
