Let's see your Seikos!

Don't know what the Kinetic Perpetual Calendar model is, but the Cocktail Time is SARB065 and the third one up is the SNZH53 (SNZH55 would be black face/bezel but I think the one above is the dark blue).
Only remember those because I am wearing the latter (and still love it) and would very much like the former!

Seiko SARBs (such as the Cocktail Time) are Japanese market only watches, I think - they don't come from Creation's usual Singapore location. Which means I would not be particularly sure that you won't get stung for import duty. If anyone has experience or is willing to give it a try, do please let us know 
ETA: here's why I believe this is the case. http://www.creationwatches.com/products/shipping.p... contains a statement, "For certain Japan Domestic Market models we will ship the order directly from our Japan office by EMS Speedpost. The package will reach you in 3-7 days worldwide." - as far as I'm aware, items sent from Japan by EMS Speedpost are almost always subject to duty.
Actually, Creation's prices are nowhere near the cheapest for the SARB range so maybe it's worth trying an alternative seller. http://www.shoppinginjapan.net/sarb065 is a fair bit cheaper (though you'll almost certainly have to add duty).
