I was lucky enough to see the Seiko Cocktail Time SARB068 again last weekend. This watch was released in 2010 and was limited to 300 pieces.
Seiko has released a Brightz model, SDGM008 that has a similar design except it uses Roman numerals instead of Arabic.
The SARB068 was quite popular but many could not get it because of its limited production quantity. I believe people who like the SARB068 should also like the SDGM008 since they are quite similar. However, the SDGM008 is priced at JPY120,000 while the SARB068 was at JPY65,000. Both prices are pre-tax. You should however note that the SDGM008 comes with Seiko’s Comfotex treatment and two additional straps. It is limited to 500 pieces.

I haven’t seen the SDGM008 yet but here are some pictures of the SARB068.
This post contains some info on Comfotex:

I would really love to have the SARB 068. Can you tell me where this can be purchased from?

New ones are no longer available. For used ones, I suggest you monitor sales forums on the internet regularly or set up email alerts if they have such a feature.

Chia, try monitoring forums, but I haven’t seen one of these for sale since they were first sold back in 2010, maybe 2011. And with only 300 ever made, they really are super rare on second hand market!
