For those who missed out on the Mojito Presage, Starbuy has listed two more Cocktail Time models at $389.
I have the red dialed Negroni version and it is stunning.

No time for that…
You posted second
I'll have to hand you that…
This thread got pretty complicated.
To go red or blue ? That is the question.
Just in time for Matrix 4 lol.
There’s a matrix 4 ?!
Yeah the trailer is up on YouTube.
I feel blue will run universal with most dresses/events, red will not be as easy to go ?
Some car enthusiasts would say red goes faster
Hammond would attest to that.
Red dial is definitely unique. That blue though is mint.
blue though is mint
Usually a light greenish colour
Less Manhattan and more Fruit Tingle.
Saw these earlier, very nice too, but still prefer the green facade with gold letters on the Mojito Presage.
The blue is looks fab.
Question for those with mechanical Seikos - do you service your watches? If so, can you let me know how often and how much it costs?The movement is the 4r35 which is the current basic Seiko movement. Most of watches that have movements aren't so old that there's much info on service issues. Generally a cautious person would get it serviced may be once in 5 years, obviously depending on use
No point servicing a 4R35. Use it until it breaks and replace the movement with an NH35 (same movement).
Cool thanks both. So basically use it and if it stops working, replace it with a new movement.
Sorry to ask noob questions - I'm guessing it can be DIY'ed but watch repairers can replace the movement for you?
I have a SARB033 which i've had for around 6 years and haven't serviced it yet..
Does anyone have any recommendations on a strap replacement for the Negroni? I picked it up in a similar sale last year, and it’s a lovely watch but I don’t like how chunky the mechanical clasp on the strap is. I’d love just a simple glossy leather strap in a similar colour.
I've got vintage suede straps in a dark tan on mine. Really enhance the 30's art deco vibe.
Where did you get them?
The choice is crystal clear
Whats that ?
Yes.
Does the face on the Negroni have the same machining as the blue as the photo on Starbuy looks rubbish.
Plenty of Youtube reviews with excellent closeups of the design elements. Go nuts.
Hmm.. Hardlex
For this price point. I kind of expect Sapphire glass.
100%. hardlex on a presage is a joke
Personally not a fan of the numbers for the hour indicators, prefer the pointers.
If it wasn't for those ugly arabic numerals, and it had either a 12/6 roman numeral or simple indices I would be very tempted.
That red! Uniqueeee!
watch yourself
