    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      @@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.

      @@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.
