3 Reasons To Buy the SARB035 Used Right Now

The Seiko SARB035 is one of the best watches ever made, but since it was discontinued in 2018, its price has been skyrocketing. In this video I'll share 3 reasons why you should still buy this watch, but you should buy it USED. Especially if this is your first trip up the Seiko ladder.

    I bought the Sarb035 about 8 years ago and it quickly became my favorite watches….simply stunning. I actually never wore it on the bracelet but had a dozen or so different straps (leather, fabric, rubber). It is a strap Monster! I gave it to my son last summer so he would have to wear at work and other events where he needed a truly classic watch. However, I missed it so much, I recently bought it back from a Japanese collector in near mint condition. I’m in heaven having it on my wrist again! Thanks for the great review

    This was my first decent automatic. My first automatic I bought literally days before the Sarb035 and it was a Seiko 5 similar to the one you showed in this video. The Sarb is an incredible watch and has a good weight to it. I got mine new for $293 in 2015. That was the era for buying with Seiko because now all their prices for similar models are a lot more. Sapphire, solid end links, forged clasp, 6R movement for less than $300 at the time... the golden days.

    Good video! I bought this watch two years ago, right before prices started to climb. Paid $300 (brand new) and feel lucky that I did. Many have commented on the cream dial and at first, that was what held me back. But, I knew the 035 was discontinued and figured it was something I could live with. Turned out that I love the cream dial. I originally preferred a pure white or snow white dial to better complement the stainless steel. I didn't think I'd like the cream dial as much as I did. Man, I love it. There's a warmth to it that makes it feel more luxurious. I am so glad I picked it up when I did. It is my only white-dial watch, bit one of my favorites in my very small collection. Congrats, on showing the 035 some love. The 033 gets all of the attention.

    Got mine new early 2019, for 350. The SARB035. It took me 2 months to appreciate it and like it for what it is. I really love that watch since then. The bracelet is a matter of luck, mine doesn't fit me well neither, It's a good looking bracelet but not as much as Uncle Seiko's options I think. Albeit, it's out of stock half of the time. Very good on leather too. The spring bars though, are weird. They're bent at the tips, it's supposedly stronger that way, but clearly, that wasn't my experience with it.

    Player: if you're still young and money is scarce, think about it this way: You could spend more on a watch like this and possibly get years of wear out of it. OR it could be a casualty of youthful indescretion & recklessness (ie gets lost, etc). OR, you could start a VERY RESPECTABLE collection with automatics like the Orient Mako 2 or Ray 2, Kamasu, the Seiko 5 series (💛 my SPRD & they're very mod-able), those Citizen field watches are great, throw in a classic G-shock DW 5600. That's a whole collection of admittedly cheaper but still very high quality & respected watches. Very wearable also. You'd have a bit more leeway if something bad happened to any one of them. Plus its just fun to have more of something you like. Happy collecting, boss. Wear it/them well.

    I like your rationale on buying and its great that you're really enjoying the watch. The watch itself didn't sell me though. Maybe its better in person. This does bring up something I would like to see explored. An example, when I was a kid my dad wanted to buy me a Model 94 Winchester 22 for Christmas. The first time the Model 94 was offered in 22 caliber. They were going for about $94 dollars but he was cheap and we found one for $79 right before Christmas. Looking back we should have bought every one on the shelf. I still have it and it would probably bring a cool grand. So I get the feeling watches are like that. I've been watching old videos of the Seiko SNKs and everyone's talking about picking them up for $60 bucks. They're over $100 now on Amazon and the used ones are getting bid up to just under retail on Ebay. I don't know watches well enough to spot big winners that are going to be coveted even more on down the line, but I do know when people are passionate about something there are going to be those winners. (Wouldn't you have liked to have a dime in your pocket in 1962 when Spiderman #1 was on the rack?) Someone who's really in to watches though is going to be able to spot that.

    💯 Nice post. And "yes" about the dime. I had an old Winchester .22 youth rifle, model unknown (single shot bolt with a weird pull-out safety) that had sort of unorthodox sights - a V in the back and a dot in front. I was much more accustomed to blade/flat front/back sights. However, once you got used to putting the dot in the point of the V, you could cut thread with that little rifle. Shoot the wings off a fly, lol. Yes, I wish I still had it.

    I have the 033 and love it. The case design is unique and gorgeous. I always wear it on leather because of the large gap between the bracelet and the clasp. I did however hate the glare from the crystal so I changed it to a double domed sapphire crystal I am so very happy I did. Until I changed the crystal I had no idea the dial so beautiful. It has a glossy enamel look to it. Oh and one more thing is it is not black. The color is a deep deep dark brown. I liken the color to an oily fresh coffee bean. Gorgeous.

By experience I have learned that with watches is reality vs. perception. If you pick a good low price watch it does't has anything to envy one that cost twenty times more. The satisfaction that you own a high price watch is in your mind.

    I’ve had my SARB033 for going on 4 years now and really it doesn’t get as much wrist time as it deserves, but it’s one of those watches I’ll never sell. For the price I got it for new it is an amazing value and I’m amazed at what they are going for these days. I’ve also noticed the same thing about the bezel. I have a decent amount of wear and there’s no battling that. Still a great watch. I’ve been lucky on the bracelet. It fits me well because of the range I need it in I’ve never had a problem, but I realize how some have had the issue with only two micro adjusts. Everyone talks about how this is such a strap monster, but I think this is the biggest thing I’ve disagreed with yet. It just feels wrong off the bracelet for me. It seems like on every strap the watch actually wears smaller. It does look great on other straps in everyone else’s pictures, but for some reason not on my wrist.

    I don't see it as a dress watch, it's more of a sports watch to me - kinda like a rolex oyster perpetual. I just picked up a sarb035 and am very happy with it. I've had higher tier Swiss watches (rolex), and this one puts a smile on my face. But maybe the 6r15 isn't the most accurate movement?

    I had a question about the Seiko sarb033. I am interested in this watch for purchase, the condition is pristine with box and papers. The seller wants $530.00, so my question is if it’s worth it or should I wait for something else? This would be my first watch. Thank you for any feedback

    It's a beautiful watch, but in my opinion $530 would be too much to spend on it. When they were brand new they cost under $400, and unfortunately their popularity has cause their used-market price to skyrocket. For your first watch, I would recommend the Seiko SNKL23, which looks very similar but is available for around $100.

    This reply might be a bit too late, but I would highly recommend having a look at the Seiko 5 SNKL41. They have pretty similar looks, the same size but the SNKL41 will cost you about a 100 USD. Some people might get put off by the Hardlex crystal and the use of a 7S26 movement, but for me it's a beautiful watch that punches way above its weight 👌

    Run through the Amazon comments and Ebay comments, and without fail there will always be a group of disgruntled watch buyers who lost their money directly in the purchase price, and in the ping-pong of postage costs, or the indirect aggravation of wasted time and repair costs. It's about time the manufacturer took some responsibility on used watches. I'm not prepared to spend $300 on a watch with the same risk one plays Black or Red at the casino.
