I put my SARB035 on an alligator strap and it looks great. My only complaint about the SARB's are that the bracelets leave me unimpressed.

I never owned a watch in my entire life, I'm behind the game. I did some research and came across your channel and watched roughly 5-10 videos in 1 night and I went and bought myself a SARB033 instantly as my first watch ever and there is absolute 0 regrets. Thank you so much, I'm a huge new fan! PS: The Squale atmos 50 is next on my list. I have an even smaller wrist than yours so I'm hoping that will fit okay on me.

I also bought the SARB033 last month, it's my first watch ever and it's amazing.

I may have some insight as to your first "hate," that is, why do the Japanese reserve the best quality for the JDM? I just found this review and maybe it's too late to comment, but for what it's worth, here are my thoughts. I have been in Japan now for 12 years and my wife is Japanese, so I think that I have a good understanding of the pulse of Japanese culture. In the west, and more specifically the USA, our primary motivation to buy a product is often based on value; that is, what's the best we can get for the smallest price. The Japanese are different, however. The Japanese primary motivation to buy is more often based on quality, rather than value. The Japanese will pay more money for a given product if the perceived quality is high. (Almost) everything is more expensive in Japan, but also (almost) everything is of higher quality. Shoes, clothing, electronics, customer service, food, even my house! The Japanese are aware that Westerners, Americans in particular, are often more focused on value rather than quality. So with fixed production schedules and finite assembly facilities, I believe that they allocate their higher quality products for those markets that demand higher quality, and allocate their "other" products to markets that demand higher value. Of course, this is all generally speaking, and maybe I'm wrong, but in Japan, high quality is demanded throughout all aspects of the culture. Therefore, it stands to reason that the idea would apply to the Seiko SARB series, of which I am a new proud owner of the 017. Thank you for the excellent channel!

Hi TGV, great video as usual! I purchased the SARB035 after watching your review video. I have now owned it for two weeks and originally I was planning on only using it for nice occasions, however its so addicting to wear. It's been on my wrist since I got it. Beautiful watch!!

Your second "hate" really hit me. I own an Alpinist, a Rolex Hulk, and an Aqua Terra. To this day, the Alpinist has made me struggle through immense buyer's remorse for a few moments after having bought these luxury watches. It's not going to make me stop buying these nice watches, but really, very good point! You really wonder how the Japanese do it sometimes...

I would probably ask how do swiss companies get out with the ridiculous ammounts they charge for their pieces. For example a rolex explorer compared with the day date 40 in platinum, the difference is way above the cost of the precious metal. And if we compare de explorer with the sarb then again rolex is way too much. Even the best rolex asian replicas are so high quality they make you wonder if we shouldn’t find a price in between ...

I've worn this watch daily for most of the last 7 years and still absolutely love it! Your review is spot on.

*Great vid Gov! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings on an incredible offering from Seiko... one of my favs!*

I just revisited this video TGV, and you are beyond therapy with your love of watches and particularly this little SARB, but that's what makes your channel so addictive. Keep up the great reviews sir. Thank you.

Thanks very much for the long term follow up it's great to hear you are still enjoying it after all this time! Cheers and Thanks again for all your hard work I just love your videos; your enthusiasm and appreciation is really contagious Cheers!!!

I love watching this segment of your episodes because of how you describe your loves ad even more so you loathes of the watch because of how hard it is (as you said) it's funny yet also relatable. Also, belated Happy Birthday, TGV. 😄

Tgv, your sincere love and passion for watches shines in this video.Thank you for sharing it with us. I see myself wearing this till I grow old and still enjoy it just as much as the day I unboxed it. You simply cannot put a price on things you love.

Recently bought one and I am absolutely in love with this time piece

dammit, TGV. I just bought one after seeing this video.

I can feel you TGV! I bought this watch after months of savings for my graduation 2 years ago because of your recommendation. I really really struggle to come up with any negatives for this watch. Now, it's got the most wrist time compared to my other watches. Thank you for your recommendation on the SARB, always impressed whenever I wear it.

Got the Sarb 033 after I watched your Videos. I am super Happy! Thank you TGV :)

Great job TGV thank you so much for doing the review I wanted.

What a great intro, Coffee and a practical use for a chronograph. Bravo

Without a shadow of doubt this is one of my favorite seikos ever! I just love the class and style the sarb provides! It can be pretty versatile as well, I just love its simple but yet bold design. Excellent video as always tgv!

Bought an Alipinist as a gift for a friend and it was a fantastic watch. Everyone I know who has a SARB033 or Cocktail Time love those too. I just wish I didn't have such a large wrist, anything under 40mm on my wrist looks like a child's starter watch.

Great video TGV. Love to hear your enthusiasm and honesty.

Love your videos and attention to detail. From watching your videos i have just recently bought a SARB033 as a treat for my 40th. It really is one of the best bang for buck watches that can be worn for lots of different occasions. I have a few Seiko's now but the SARB has now become the jewel in my modest collection. Keep up the great reviews mate.

Great watch... I have the Alpinist and I really love that one a lot. Also, just wanted to mention that I really appreciate your videos/ reviews. Not Snobby or pretentious, while at the same time being very discerning and informative. Plus your enthusiasm and overall positivity is fantastic. True class, thumbs up overall.

I bought my first watch ever SARB033 week ago. Thankyounfor introducing me to this beautiful peace.

This was my first automatic, and I bought it based on your previous review (which is quite all right to see again). Very classy watch. Thanks for a perfect introduction to my watch collecting.

Absolutely enjoy to see your enthousiasm for Seiko's little gem!

Great video! This was the video and watch that turned me onto watch collecting! I initially got turned onto watches by mistake when I accidentally clicked on a review of a Seiko Sea Urchin on an unrelated site about stereos, and then this video came onto my suggested videos feed. Now I own my first automatic (SKX013!) and am obsessing on vintage Seikos and this SARB033! Thank you, TGV (and no thanks?!) for turning me on to a huge and expensive way to procrastinate!!

Great and entertaining video as always TGV, love your channel!. I got this lovely timepiece thanks to your review several months ago, and I am totally in love with it. And I have to say, I've lost count of the compliments I get from people in my office, many of them from executives with 6000 pounds rolexes on their wrists. They love it! Can't believe its price! This watch is an absolute beast of a watch for the cost.

Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii! Here it is May 2018, and I'm so glad you that I was able to still find this watch available for sale via Marc at LIW! Bless you TGV for all the reviews that you've done on the SARB033! I would never have known!

I bought and received my sarb033 last week. Naturally I'm still in the initial phase of being spellbound by it. This watch is ice cold it's that cool, thank you very to this channel for the recommendation grazie a sir milioni.

Great Conversation about the Sarb! I'm definitely purchasing this one, very soon!! I've been waiting for some good news, now it's here there's no stopping me! BMJ ENGLAND

I love this watch so much I bought an EXTRA 033 & 035 to go with my original 033, 035, & 17. Thanks for the great advice.

I bought SARB 033 in Singapore after watching this video. Thanks, TGV, great watch.

I just got my sarb033 in the mail today. I've had my eye on it for a long time, and was especially sold after seeing some of your past videos about it. today I left it at the hands of my local watch shop to order and place a cyclops over the date window. Soon this will be my everyday watch. Loved the video by the way!

Great video Tristano. Over the last few months I've bought a SARB033, SARB065 (and Junghans Meister Telemeter) all because of your reviews! Love watching your videos.

Just saw your video -- Great review ... My SARB 033 is versatile -- business or casual and isn't overwhelming in appearance -- but mine is on a SEIKO bracelet -- really makes the watch look sharp!

My Sarb035 is traveling from Japan this moment! Alot because of you and J. ANTHONY

Your love for the Sarb033 bit me like a bug, and now im on the verge of getting one! A good daily swap with my 017 alpinist (my favorite seiko) and vintage 6139 cream helmet and i've fallen in love with this as well. Cheers from Manila, TGV! Best regards, Carlo

Wearing my sarb035, and trying on Rolex Air King or Datejust equivalent, the only difference in quality really was the bracelet. It really leaves me feeling like I walked away with a steal with the sarb!

I just purchased a SARB033 based entirely on your review. It arrived today and I love it. I know nothing about watches and haven't worn one for 25 years. I would never have been able to find and select this watch without your comprehensive review. Kudos to you -and many thanks for taking the time to do this.

I'm new to horology, and I've been looking in on you're videos for sometime now. I think you have convinced me to go for the Seiko over a Hamilton Khaki Field. Big thanks again and keep up the great work TGV!

A year ago, I was contemplating on whether getting the Tissot LeLocle or Seiko SARB033. The LeLocle looked better, but was too formal and too big so I went with the SARB033. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Glad that your review helped me decide on getting it, thanks!

Hello from a late night Moskow. Keep on making a great videos!! You made me discover Seiko and Tudor, thanks alot!

I bought one of these on your recommendation about a year to supplement my Cartier Santos bi-metal and it has become one of my all time favourite watches. The build quality is astounding at 3 times its price point and I love wearing it so much, the Santos has now been assigned to the bottom drawer.

Beautiful piece - I think you've single-handedly made it an icon!

Great great episode TGV! I just got mine in the mail yesterday after lusting after it for months. I was astounded by the quality and just the feel of it. There really is something magical about having this little heart on your wrist. It also really is a chameleon that can be worn with such a vast amount of different looks. Really is stunning and I would say anyone thinking about getting it, do it. You wont regret it.

I just bought the 035 on your recommendation. My first watch in decades!

Tristano, thank you for making me feel even better (as if that's possible) about my new Sarbie. Call it escapism, but catching up on your channel every other night makes me relax like nothing else! Thank you very much indeed, sir. More of the same, please!

Great video. I also really enjoyed the videos where you compared the SARB to the Hamilton intra-matic and the Junkers Bauhaus.:)

In that initial review you mention, you come across pleasantly surprised by what you saw. It's great to see how the watch has clearly grown on you. In writing my own three-year review I thought about the styling in terms of that market, where I lived for five years. I've come to think of Seiko positioning this as an aspirant's Grand Seiko, geared to the middle-manager salaryman who wants a piece of quiet elegance but isn't trying to outshine the bosses.

I just got my SARB 035 this monday. I absolutely love the reserved size on my somewhat larger wrist. I already have the SKX and a Turtle-reissue. This is my first dressier piece. The cream dial takes a bit of getting used to, but I really wanted something bright for the spring and summer. I am almost certain I am getting the 033 later this fall though. It just looks so badass on a black leather strap! Cheers TGV and thanks for a great channel!

Love that watch, you're right. Not a lot wrong with it at all! Plan is to have one at some stage, very classy. Great vid thanks Tristano. All the best, Ollie. P.S. 86k subscribers! 😁 LOVE seeing your channel do well!

I'm from Italy and after I'seen this video I decided to buy the Sarb033. It is my first watch and it is absolutely perfect! Un capolavoro. Thanks for the video.

It was your review of the SARB033 that convinced me to get one. The price point of this watch is spectacular for what you get. I have one minor complaint and that would be that the bezel seems to be a scratch magnet. Great work as always!

Just added this model to my collection. Waiting for Canada Post to deliver it out of backlogged truckloads.... due to the strike. All the best the posties getting their new deal.... Until then, anticipating my Sarb033. Great video by the way! My Seiko's include Orange Monster, 2 modded SKX's and a FFF SNZH....

I just bought this watch before new Sarb033s get hard to get hold of. I am really happy with my purchase, it is a great upgrade from my first automatic watch, the Seiko 5 SNKL23, which I may now reluctantly sell. It's been outclassed by this...a great purchase!

Very nice TGV.....You are really passionate about watches and even more about the seiko =). Bought it myself - since I saw your review, sooooooooo happy with the Seiko. Great Love and Hates......I totally agree with your points... KEEP I UP Nice one

Another Great Video Keep Going!!!

About to pick up a SARB035 and you're just making it harder to wait for it!

Thank you, I believe I found my birthday gift for this year

I'm big-time late to the game when it comes to the 033. But, I just purchased one from Japan and it should be here in a few weeks. I'm already dying of anticipation. Thanks for the great content. Peace.

Wonderful review. Thanks.

I used to be a watch snob, after watching this channel i realized how nice seiko watches are. I now have 2 in my collection and a SARB035 on the way from japan right now! TGV Is awesome!

Great video TGV. I bought a SARB033 six months ago after watching your first video. I actually started to get tired of it and was going to sell it but instead took off the bracelet and put it on a black alligator strap. Now I absolutely love it!! Pure Class!! If you never owned an automatic and are new to collecting, I agree, pick this one up.

I found your channel through that earlier sarb review. I bought mine in Tokyo for about 230€ in 2013. It was my daily watch for a long time until I changed to vintage again.

I've had my sarb 033 for about 6 months now and I honestly question why would I need another dress watch, maybe a Grand Seiko some day but for now this one is it for me, as always awesome video Tristano .

I love my Sarb!! I bought it mainly due to your previous video from two years ago. My only gripe with my SARB033 is that I wish it had anti reflective coating on the crystal. It always looks fantastic with my polarized sunglasses on!

That's an amazing model! And so cheap! I'm very into minimalism at the moment but I'll probaply make an exeption for this little precious thing.
