Thank you for sharing your impressions, Leo. This sarb is one of the very few watches I personally stopped wearing, as I switched to more "beatable" diver style pieces, but could not let it go. 5 years later, it's my wife's favorite watch. Cheers!

I am wearing my Sarb033 on a brown leather strap and it looks amazing, especially when paired with an expensive bead bracelet. I also have the Sarb023. The Sarb033 has an understated quality to it while the Sarb023 is more flashy.

i bought it during my first japan trip on 2017 cause it looks amazing. glad i bought it. still looks amazing.

In retrospect it was a good thing that I bought the 033, 035 and the 017 for in total 950 dollars. My last Seiko I bought was the 007j. Those new ones just don't cut it in price vs quality.

You got that right. Swap out the sarb035 for a sarb065 and we've got the exact same collection lol

I bought mine back in early 2020 after it was discontinued for $400 new. Love it and glad I grabbed it

Nice. I have the white dial version with 6r15d. I wear it once and awhile.

Gorgeous watch, Leo! I love the black. I bought a SARB035 when the 033s became scarce. I have it on a Strapcode “Boyer Super O” bracelet. It wears so well! I’ve been eyeing the Uncle Seiko “Beads of Rice” lately… Congrats on the Explorer, too; that 36mm is my grail!

Funny you mention that watch SCVS, because I’ve also bought it about a month ago due to differences to this model. Mine came on the original bracelet the scvs003 came one, that is unique to the model. I’ve sold my sarb033 since this video and I enjoy the SCVS more. Cheers

Sarb, BB58, Explorer. That makes for a perfect 3 watch collection!

The 6R15 A series is known for having frequent issues with the balance wheel, others seem fine. I would say the movement performs significantly better when fully wound. Other than that, well, been wearing mine for 3 years, very frequently. I don't even think so much about it, for me it's a great sign. Bought it 300 euros and it now became my second most expensive watch, lol. Your Uncle Seiko bracelet is just beautiful.

You still can’t really get a watch with a 38mm case and 100m of water resistance under 1000 that isn’t a microbrand or a Hamilton. Even for $500-$600 it’s a good deal.

@@arielargo I’ve checked it out, it is nice. But compared to the Sarb, the dial is very generic, hands aren’t as nice, the lug to lug is longer and the lug width is 19mm. It’s definitely a nice value option but the Sarb has more character and fits better with its shorter lug to lug.

@arielargo

Жыл бұрын

@@brett2396 Yeah, dimensions are subjective. To me the longer lug to lug is the most negative thing, but the rest is arguably better IMHO. Better movement, hardening coating for scratch protection, slimmer, and better case finishing. It's a really good option. Don't get me wrong, the SARB is great! But discontiued and higher aftermarket prices is no longer the value it was. 🤷‍♂️

At around $450 it is worth it, you can buff out the scratches and these look beautiful with a full mirror polish.

luckily , this watch is VERY easy to Regulate yourself and cheap to have someone else regulate , mine is running +2 on wrist and +4 standing . If you have steady hands go for it .(escapement and watch has a great video breaking down how )
