Any idea what it's called, a model number, etc?

Glad you like it. It's a SARB068 that I picked up early last year. Limited edition of 300 I'm afraid.

I don't usually put people's quotes in my sig line but I might have to make an exception for this one.

It looks like a certain Raymond Weil that I like but can't afford since I close on a house in a month

This.

Edit: Any strap ideas for the seagull with Roman Numerals?

Dark brown or black cordovan or crocodile strap. I've a hirsch on my similar looking RW, and I think it looks great.

Are blue sparks basically impossible to find these days? I'm looking for a more dressy watch since right now I have an orange monster. I love the orange monster, but sometimes it's just too loud of a watch.

Any suggestions as to other watches that I might be interested in?

What's your price point? Sea Gulls are great watches and are quite inexpensive. http://www.good-stuffs.com/Sea-Gull-...tch-_p_21.html http://usseagull.com/EnProductShow.a...ssID=72&ID=115

Parnis is something to look at as well around that price point.

Price would be <$500 i'd say, although I might be lenient towards getting something with a really good value for it's dollar even though it might be more. I'm liking the dial on the sea gulls

Seiko makes a good watch at your price point. Maybe a used Hamilton.

I have a Jazzmaster that I love, but I will be getting a Sea Gull soon

I'm quite impressed with the look of those US Sea-Gulls. Good prices, too.
