Market notes and resale
The Cocktail Time dial is the selling point and the Blue Moon is the best-known reference. Hardlex rather than sapphire is the main compromise, so crystal condition matters.

Used buyer checklist
- Confirm the exact reference and dial configuration before paying
- Check the case for polishing that softens the original lug shape
- Ask for a clear photo of the caseback to confirm the reference number
- Confirm the water resistance is only splash-proof, not swim-proof
- Inspect the crystal edges and check for dial patina or moisture marks
Known issues and pricing traps
- Low water resistance means these are not everyday rough-wear watches
- Polished cases hide dents until you inspect them in daylight
- Expect normal depreciation, not a windfall

How this price range is set
Editorial estimate for the US market, not a live quote. Bands reflect typical retail and second-hand pricing for this reference and are revised when sold-listing evidence arrives.
Ranges are reduced for condition, missing links, no box or papers, unknown service history and poor photos, and adjusted when current new-watch discounts make a used price unattractive.
FAQ
What price should I target for the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Blue Moon?
Use $250 as the good-buy target. The fair used range is $210-320, and a used listing above $390 needs unusually strong condition, completeness, warranty or scarcity.
Should I buy the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Blue Moon new or used?
Compare the used asking price with the current new online band of $300-390. If the saving is small, buying new can be safer because you get warranty and cleaner return rights.
What changes the value most?
Condition, box and papers, bracelet or strap completeness, service history, seller reputation, warranty status and unusually poor listing photos move the real transaction price.
What should I check before buying used?
Check the exact reference, case and bracelet condition, movement/module function, service or battery history, seller feedback and whether the price still makes sense after tax, shipping and return risk.
