Description

Up for sale is my Seiko SBXC085, a beautifully finished, premium all-rounder from Seiko’s high-end Astron line.

The SBXC085 is part of the Astron line whose design pays tribute to the original 1969 Quartz Astron, the world's first quartz watch, with the same cushion case profile, thin bezel and wide lugs, but powered by the modern 5X53 GPS Solar calibre.

Finished in lightweight titanium with a deep grey dial and vertical striping that plays beautifully with the light, it features a scratch-resistant black ceramic bezel matched perfectly with ceramic centre links along the bracelet.

The 5X53 connects to GPS satellites and automatically sets itself to the correct time and time zone anywhere on Earth, 40 time zones, at the push of a button. It's solar powered, so it never needs a battery change, roughly six months of running on a full charge, and about two years in power-save mode.

***********************************************

Hi there! I’m a long-time watch enthusiast and collector with over 20 years of experience in the hobby. I’m mainly into Japanese watches: Grand Seiko, high-end Seiko, Casio Oceanus - basically anything that offers great value and proper watchmaking without the silly price tags. I like watches that punch above their weight, and that’s exactly the type I tend to buy, wear, and sell.

Every watch I sell is carefully inspected and photographed by me. I take pride in showing the watch honestly - no hidden marks, no stock photos, no surprises. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you’ll receive.

I’m based in Lixnaw, Co. Kerry and have built a solid track record here on Adverts.ie for being straightforward, reliable, and easy to deal with. I don’t entertain lowballing, as my prices are already fair. Lowballers and other 'exotic offer' experts, please ignore this sale.
And just to be fully clear: I’m not looking for swaps or part exchanges. I prefer straight cash sales only.

All my watches are graded using my standardised condition scale:

N (New) — unworn condition. Typically includes full set (box, papers, tags).

S (Like New) — almost indistinguishable from new. No visible scratches or marks. Crystal and case flawless.

A (Excellent) — Lightly worn with minimal signs of use. Minor hairline scratches visible only on close inspection.

V (Very good) — Gently used with only minor signs of use; the crystal may carry minor traces consistent with normal wear, but they do not stand out. Overall condition remains clean and attractive.

B (Good) — Regularly worn with moderate signs of use. Noticeable scratches on case or bracelet; crystal may have faint marks but remains in good condition.

C (Fair) — Clearly worn with pronounced scratches, dings, or crystal marks. Functional but cosmetic wear is obvious; may benefit from servicing.

Cheers!
Jake
