I just bought this watch a few days ago. I'm not a seiko fan boy but I thought this watch was nice and I know everyone loves it. When I recieved my watch, and opened up the box, the watch was covered in bubble wrap. I could see through the wrap a little and i instantly saw the magic showing through. My only regret is that I didnt buy this watch years ago. The prices went up but to me it's worth more than the 450 I paid. The depth of the dial finish and the finish on the stainless steel is great. I like the bracelet. I was prepared to buy a high end substitute 125.00 bracelet but I dont see the need really. I feel like I bought a grand seiko. I recommend Buying this one.
I have the Sarb033 & Sarb017 (Alpinist). The first two watches I purchased when getting into mechanical watches. I should have stuck with knife videos only. It's an even more expensive addiction.
I have both the sarb033 & sarx033 (40mm white dial) which i bought pre owned for around $500. To me sarx was a much better value than the sarb, as long as you like a dressier piece. The bracelet is quality is very good & the dial finishing is just fantastic.
Donn Testa That’s definitely not a new thing for me, Donn. I have a great love for mechanical watches, just from the standpoint of craftsmanship and artistry. I just prefer the reliability and accuracy of a good quartz watch for most everyday use. Wait until you see my 1959 hand winding Bulova 😉
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
Wearing mine right now and I love it! Had for a bit over a year now. Mine moves slow so I have to set the time back every week, but it looks fantastic on an alligator strap
I said bye to a beat SnG and a small 21 seb... But said hello to a BM anthem, a used Seiko SKX and a new Seiko Turtle. Let's go divin' the turtle is so 70s cool. What u think of them? Going back to watch ur seiko watch vid, man this was only a couple months ago but the WHOLE world is different to when u filmed this. It's still really hard to get my head around... we r spared the worst here in Aus but life is 180° different. Stay safe guys
I've had the 035 for a few months and there's nothing I don't love about it
The Sarb is one I have been trying to decide on for a while now. Thanks for the review!

Mad Hatter agreed. I got mine yesterday and I really love it
Where did u buy the watch from? I can’t find it anywhere.

I just got my SARB033 yesterday and I already love it haha
I didn't know you were into watches. The sarb is a great auto. I have the cream colored version. It gets worn a lot.
Where can I buy one of these?

Most people find the lack of AR coating on the Sarb033 one of it's distinctive charming features.
No, its annoying
Hey, you found your way to mechanical watches! Congrats bro!

@@TheApostleP absolutely sir, there is something to be said about the "soul" of a mechanical movement, who cares bout a few seconds a day hehe!

That’s a good buy if indeed it’s pristine. Some are fetching $600.
@@TheApostleP thank you so much! Do you think the price will continue to go up?
