Props for mentioning the ‘Dauphine’ style hands! My 1982 Seiko 5 has the same hands and similar applied indices. A classic look. I saw this in a watch shop yesterday and I’m very tempted to pull the trigger. The caseback says ‘5 Bar’, so it’s 50m water resistance.
Hardlex has a rating of 7 versus 9 for sapphire…it’s pretty scratch resistant too..but obviously sapphire is better and other brands give it to you at the same price point
For a GMT, a rotating bezel simply gives you an option to track a THIRD time zone . although IMO it’s a bit convoluted to use , especially in light of the rarity someone seriously wants to track a third time zone. That probably explains why its inclusion is more the exception than the rule with GMTs…
Seiko hardlex is actually very good and durable I prefer it over Sapphire simply because on black and blue dials, the smudges and smears do not stand out like on Sapphire something I really hate

FYI.. The Seiko SSK015 white dial anniversary edition limited for the same price does sapphire crystal! Nice steel surround 👍
Gah!!!! I was TOTALLY down with this until you said Hardlex. Dang it. That’s a deal breaker for me. Man that’s a great lookin watch.
Yea Seiko just can’t give us what we want.. should be sapphire at this price point
Why did you think this had sapphire? No other entry level Presage has sapphire. None of them
@@SampleTracks2224 I dunno…..hope? Lol
Main reason I don’t own any Seiko… they only out sapphire on ‘more expensive’ models and then put in a cheap caliber in there
if the SARB033 had sapphire at 1/3 the price this totally should.
Just how much more scratch prone is hardlex compared to sapphire?

Anyone know of anyone doing a replacement sapphire crystal to fit as a mod?
It's only 50m (5ATM) not 100m.
Does anyone know the point of having a bezel that doesn't move? Is this just Seiko cutting corners/saving money?
Ask Rolex. Their Explorer 2 is the same. Guess they couldn't manage a rotating bezel for 10 large 😊

The design and use does not require a rotating bezel; watches are not fidget spinners

As stylish and classy looking piece. I wish they would stop using that clasp. Not enough adjustment.
Decent review of a nearly-attractive watch hampered by a ridiculous height. When will Seiko discover finesse? I won't hold my breath.
