Repost with lower price for hopefully quick sale… This is a fantastic Seiko SARB045 bought here from fellow forum member known as JDM Horologist. Here is the original listing. https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/121tfih/wts_sarb045_serviced_reserved_for_ujcretrop/ Asking $750 obo (includes CONUS shipping) I've decided to sell, along with some other watches, to try to create some funds for a Grand Seiko, although this isn't that far off. This case was the precursor to the Evo 9 Grand Seiko models. It's a fantastic case, of a higher order than your typical SARB. Case and bracelet are in very good/nearly new condition. I don't see any major markings on either. See this review for some additional detail on the watch… https://yeomanseiko.com/2010/04/18/6r15-mechanical-sarb045/ Previous owner serviced and had it running at COSC specs. If the SARB033/035 are "baby [Seiko] grands", this is more like a “junior” Grand Seiko. See listing photos for gallery and timestamp, that includes other watches I have recently listed or sold. Will accept Zelle (preferred) and PayPal friends and family. New buyers may be asked to pay via PayPal goods and services. Diameter: 38.5mm Lug width: 20mm WR: 100m with push / pull crown

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
