Hey guys, what do you think of the Sary 057, is it a good alternative? Also, yes this is a re-upload from the other channel, thought it would be a better fit over here. Anyways, hope you enjoy and have a good one.

These are a great watch. I had this one and let it go awhile back but loved it. Thanks Wes.

Thanks mate and they are, I'm definitely keeping a hold of it for the foreseeable future

Nice to see the SARY057 getting some recognition. I own and love this piece. Very solid yet versatile. It is pleasure to wear.

Thanks a ton! And same here, this is when Seiko were at their best imo.

I have a seiko sarx 055, similar but titanium and with 6R movement, got it from Japan. Very fond of it

I think it is one of the best offers Seiko has. What Seiko used to be and represent. I have the Sarb017 Alpinist, 2 king Seiko and a Seikomatic from 1963, so I’m covered as for that looks, styling, and use. By the way, that famous Japanese great wave painting that you use as a background- I have it as the dial of one of my Islander’s (fully lumed). Extremely beautiful and unique, I think.

I agree, this is the stuff we used to get before the price hikes and everything else. If we were to be an equivalent now, just think how expensive it would be. Cheers mate

Such a good piece but these are slowly creeping up in price too! Great vid

Hey Wes, thanks for the review! What is the Orient you are referring to?

No problems and I have a video of it coming soon, it's one of my favourite. Thanks for watching

curious about your thoughts between this or the RMALTI you just got. fit and finish, bracelet etc. I do like it, though.

@WesWatchRoom

Жыл бұрын

Tough to say because this is a pre owned watch so it has damage and scuffs on the finishing. But I would say it's probably very close

Really a cracking timepiece. Maybe a touch too chunky overall? I have a slightly different view on what would dress this watch up or down. I think the steel bracelet conveys a little sportiness. You could dress this watch up with a certain type of refined leather straps. On the other hand you can dress this further down with a sort of more rugged or distressed leather strap. Believe me: 6R movements don't necessarily perform better than 4R movements!!

It is mate and you're right, the bracelet is a fine line, but it's so versatile it suits just about anything - well apart from a bund or divers strap. Cheers mate and enjoy your weekend

There’s very few seikos I dislike, but I really wish they would improve the bands on them.

Agreed, it wouldn't take much for them to improve it. Thanks for watching

Seiko have a few similar looking ones in their range, its just finding one. So don't really know any model numbers, but they do exist.

There is no link mate?

Sorry The nh35 much more reliable than the 6r15, many issues with the 6r15 stopping after a year or so.

I've been hearing that alot, never tried the 6r so can't really confirm

I'd be thankful it doesn't get the recognition or the price wouldn't be what it is .

True that, it probably would be a lot more expensive. Thanks mate

Do you happen to have Italian ancestry? Those hands moves man. I can't help, always making a joke. I notice you don't have a Discord or just not one publicly advertised. I expect to receive my Tactical Frog Solar Chrono next week. Should i contact you through your email listed on your YT account when im ready to send it your way? (and possibly 1 or 2 more watches, im not sending a package to the other side of the ocean with just one watch in it, gotta be efficient). Anyway, we need to talk if you're still interested,

Not that I'm aware of 😂. No I don't use discord as I just use Instagram and Reddit mainly. email would be great though mate, very much appreciate your generosity. Thanks for watching

Beitifull watch but This could never really be a sarb alternative because it is too big. That is the reason most people love the sarb is because it’s small. This would look great on a the bigger worsted people out there for sure though.

Yeah that is true, but it wears really nicely so no complaints from me. Thanks

Solid, shiny, mirrorlike hands = invisible hands = useless watch.

I disagree, my lighting set up is not the most favourable, but in real conditions, its awesome.

I prefer the non-luminious hands and dial of the Seiko SARY057 over that of the SARB033. If you have the JDM version with the Kanji day wheel, that is a bonus. The only knock I have against it is that it wears big on my 17 mm circumference wrist.

Me too, it's cleaner and more crisp. I don't find it wears big at all, but that's just me
