How Watch Collecting WILL drive you MAD!
It's an ADDICTION! Beware! Get out while you can! Watches become trinkets, glistening jewels that lure you in with their subtle differences. You become like a gambler, believing that ONE NEXT WATCH will be the one to end it all, to settle with; that does it all. .....but it's an illusion and all collectors have been here...

Should I have JUST got the SARB033? An Analysis from 2024.
มุมมอง 1.2Kวันที่ผ่านมา
Guess what! I wasn't as impressed as you may think, on first acquaintance with the legendary SEIKO Sarb033. Maybe I expected more. After a week on the wrist how did I find it? Why is it such an ICON and how does it stack up NOW in 2024, with some serious competition at a similar price - I'm thinking particularly Erebus Ascent and Citizen NB1050 series? Does it justify its rock solid residuals?

Way too late for me. I am hopelessly hooked on watches. Cheers!!!!
....suppose we just have to run with it
Placing a price of your collections next to a title of your collection is pretty cringe if you ask me.
Yes I know. Was a tough call. 80% viewings are American and they love that sort of info. Gives a ball park
Nice review, i have this GMT-1758 Map version and a GMT-1693. But i found the 1693 is much well made of. It's only flaw is fixed bezel, limited dial color option. But the bracelet and clasp of 1693 is also vert strong and nice. I expected more from the 1758 but except for the NH34 movement i got disappointed to see the quality when i put the two watches together, Besides i likes the 42mm dial. of 1693. Anyway about accuracy of time keeping i still haven't noticed any specificity of 1758. Apparently both performs the same. Don't know which movement does 1693 has but as a layman i didn't notice any difference. Price of 1758 is much higher in AliExpress. I must mention that in my 1758 watch the GMT hand doesnt properly aligns up with the hour indicator but it wasn't an issue with 1693. I informed the seller about this.
Thanks for update
Best dial colour of the Tsuyosa range. Looks way more exclusive and expensive than the plain colour dials.
Yes, real bang for buck. Bracelet is decent believe it or not
@@perfectwrist23 president style bracelet. Like Rolex Day Date
You did buy a tasty watch.
Hehe. Love it
Watches are mechanical wonders and works of art. Time pieces are revered for they are one of humanity's most noble inventions. LIke the bicycle and the sailboat.
Ah well.....Worth the addiction then
I've had 3 this month one was unexpected eBay but it's a bit chunky for my wrist so gonna have to move it on 😂
.....oops. If we only had one we would appreciate it
It is very addictive just like any hobby that involves collecting. What I always recommend to people is to buy quality over quantity. Dont buy cheap Seikos etc. Buy watches that at least retain value
Good advice. At least some pre owned may retain value if bought well
Buy expensive Seikos! BTW, if you only buy watches as an investment, then you aren't a true watch collector. Watches are tools and accessorizes a learned man. They are an iconic milestone of success, the pursuit of pushing personal envelopes, and the appreciation of excellence.
A good balanced view
I have walk on several down roads: hype, chinese, quartz, expensive automatic ones, but no one has me quit. After 40 or 50 watches I still want one more. Definitely it's an addiction.
Oh dear.....
I like the penguin feet, but I like the dark blue one with the swimming penguins too. Get them both?
I love that one too....so many colourful turtles to go for, and samurais.....I'm in danger of overloading Seiko!
I have several fidget spinners thank you very much. Except they also tell time and apparently you can take them swimming? Ha! Thanks for the entertaining video!
Haha. Thanks
It's completely true. I took a 5 month break from watch hunting. And then suddenly I bought one at the end of May, then another one a week later, and a third one 2 days later. All beautiful, all very accessible. But now I feel bad, because it's too many watches in just 2 weeks. Best regards
Thanks......you're not alone
I bought the SARV003 Japanese import and absolutely love the watch . Only $178 and a fantastic bargain.
I'll check it out
Lol 😂 definitely an addiction. I love your nature scenery. Your videos are awesome 👏🏼
Haha. Thanks. More to come
Oh yes, I know what you are talking about. I never planned to collect watches. I was on the hunt for the perfect fit plus legibility at night and day. And now I have eighty watches. O_o 🕐⚙️🍸
Oh dear.....I'm way behind you
@@perfectwrist23 Stop it! Stop it. NOW! lol
Haha brilliant..Yes thats me all over,..Hit fifty watches and sold ten on, now replacing them with new watches as my boxes have sad lonely empty slots
Hehe. ......there's worse addictions
Your video giving good justification towards the watch
Thanks. It ticks many boxes
which model amphibia?
Can't seem to find it anymore on meranom site. It's one of the 120 cases. Teddy baldasarre did a review, easy to find, that mentions the model number
its Amphibian Classic 120512.
@@chosearmandoarmando3864 Thanks !
Mine is amazingly accurate. The Seiko movement is within 1 second slow over 24 hours... consistently.
If the Chinese can do it, come on Seiko
I dont know man you sandpaper it or scratches from daily wear? Bezel looks not good.
Its gone. New owner very happy.
It looks cheap, feels cheap. If that's what you like.
Mmm not really
What a winner that’s a lovely watch 👍
Thanks! Truly
I got the SRPE53 with blue dial, just a BIG meh, returned it for a proper diver, a SRPK
Yeah, everybody seems to be no longer mentioning it....wasn't one to stick around
I developed a twisted desire for extreme accuracy. This means radio-synch to atomic clocks, synch to GPS satellites, and high-accuracy quartz. No mechanical watches. Still too many things out there. Looking for bargains helps.
Mmmm...can't go wrong.....just a battery every 3 years.
Bought it at the time for like 250 euros. Keep being tempted to sell it, every time I see it in the box it looks unimpressive. Until I start wearing it again. It's on odd thing, it's not even particularly my style, but it's so perfect.
Yes I know what you mean
I've ridden many trains in my time, but never the one named 'Hype'. Like others, by the time i became aware of the SARB, as much as I liked it, I just couldn't bring myself to pay what i thought was too high a price. Never been sure about the 6Rs either. Heard good, but also a lot of not-so-good too. Tis a cracking looking little thing though.
Thanks for watching. I really hate jumping on board those trains, but as I say.......maybe underpriced initially........maybe found its level...
People forget you had to pay import duty, so it wasn’t as cheap as the price tag suggests.
Originally yes. Good point. Add 20%
I bought a Seiko 5 after years of hearing about what great watches they are. It sucked. It felt cheap and kept poor time on top of it's other issues. I ended up giving it away to a friend who knows nothing about watches, and later I heard of rampant Seiko QC issues. Gave you a thumbs up!
Thanks for coming along
Juat picked up a gold one of these for 19 aud.
Just enjoy. I'll try the line about moving investments next time I'm tempted to buy a watch and see how it goes down with the finance committee.
Haha
the design strikes a nice balance between conservative at first look and flashy if looking a little closer. japanese salaryman compatible.
Didn't liked the lume on the inner ring of the markers. Buy a Clean factory Explorer 1 39mm for about gbp350 through a trusted dealer. Fantastic quality, has ar coating, great lume, etc etc. It will make most watches redundant
So many options
It is a watch I like the look of, and would have bought 4-5 years ago, if the prices asked were not so high. Personally, I wasn’t prepared to pay double what it retailed at, but I won’t criticise anyone who is. It’s your money & we aren’t talking Rolex figures here, thankfully. Lol. Hope you continue to enjoy it, it certainly wears well.👍
Thanks.
I think, it was a good idea to buy this beautiful watch. Congratulations Sir! If you ever planned to avoid a Seiko Turtle, I can just say, I avoided it for a long time. And now I am in love. It wears so well on my seven inch wrist. I never thought it would be my best wearing watch. Wearing it for four weeks now and always when I swap it for another watch I swap it back after a few hours. 🕐⚙️🍸
That's some wrist u have 😮
Interesting. I am checking out Seiko divers. Its hard not to have ' all Seikos' as they wear so well. Thanks
@@user-qq8jn5bb4m lol Sorry I meant 7 of course.
The thing with Seiko is that the new models are not better in general than the old ones. I have a couple of Cocktail Time series watches and I am sure that they are not better than that of yours and at similar prices
Yes I think this. Even the old 60s movements are worth getting and servicing for less than the cost of premium Seiko's
What size wrist?
7.3 in
Give mey you Nambar
very good video.just subscribed. this watch is on my radar since it first came out but I'm afraid with the 6r movement. do you think it's possible to swap for a nh 38/ 4r ?
Thanks for watching. It would swap, but really it is down to luck if you get an accurate one. The push pull crown makes it easy to reset every 3 or 4 days if need be and wearing it every day keeps it fully wound which helps
@@perfectwrist23 thanks. I'm also after the alpinist spb 241/243, but heard too many horror stories about the 6r movement
Very cool. Thanks for showing this to us. I’m almost afraid to get into Casios because there are a limitless number you can buy. Ha!
You can do it!
Nice. That’s a beauty. A Seiko SARB lookalike (SZSB015) is how I got into watches about two years ago.
I Thank you for your perfect review,everything you Say are right,the whatch Is fantastic,two second plus every two days,rare and perfect!
Agree with you, it is a beautifully designed watch for sure, but these new reissues are just nowhere near its predecessors in terms of movements. The 44A movement found in the 44KS line from 1967 had a high grade hand wound movement. Mine still runs like a Chronometer.
Im starting to think the best option is an older original in good condition, with money saved going to a full service. Thanks for that
really good collection, i think you said it best when you compared the breitling and the aliexpress watch. I have a seiko steelmaster that was 600 euros and I also have the Laco augsburg with the miyota movement and the cheaper miyota movement keeps much better time.
Thanks for that. There's been some turnover this year, so some big changes
You sold it because you fcuked up the watch😂
It didn't help That glossy Bezel is a scratch magnet. It should be brushed. The dial is a good one.
I bought this watch with a burgundy dial, I paid full price, and for me it was ultra luxury. But I couldn't believe how beautiful the watch was when I saw it in person. The watches that I like cost from 7 thousand euros and up, that's why I didn't even think about buying any kind of watch. And then I saw him... Yes, it would have been right if they had put a better mechanism in it, it would have been just right if it cost half as much, but the look and build of it is something that surpasses everything else. I haven't regretted it for a single moment, I enjoy it every day.
Well that makes me feel better about mine! Thanks for feedback. Everything is relative and Seiko have got so much right with this watch
I know it’s a Homage but it’s such a damn good watch for the price, I’m willing to bet a fair number of people have this watch and probably aren’t willing to admit they have it (and love it). I have a Watchdives version (FKM Tropic Strap), and it’s the cheapest watch I own, but one of my favorites!
Amazing really. I should try a tropic
Did you de magnetise it as I randomly had one of my watches randomly running fast then slow, de magnetising it sorted that out. I would not know where to start regulating one..
Mmmm I hope not.
I have 4 watches with 6r35. I had very similar experience on 3 of them. The accuracy on them is all over the place. Mine mainly run slow even 30s slow per day. After service and regulation they tend to perform better, however nowhere near as accurate and consistent as my 4r or nh series watches. The power delivery isn’t great probably due to the longer power reserve. Seiko just came out with the next revision of this movement 6r55. Hopefully this shall address the issues with them. I have contacted Seiko Uk with the advice being just wind them 80 times to start off than 20 to 40 each morning. This did not fill me with confidence nor it resolved the issues. I have contacted Seiko Hungary as well, they have stated regulating the watch will help but indeed this is more of a common occurrence with the 6r movements than the 4r but they can’t say, that it is a faulty design. Luckily I have bought most of mine second hand for 50 to 60% of its original price.
Good information there. Thanks. I suppose if we love the watch we accept its frustrating quirks
Seiko Watches are extremely easy to regulate as long as you don't have shaky hands . haven't had a 6R break on me yet i think it might be a skill issue brother .i would practice regulating a beater watch to dial that in . i have been able to achieve 1-2 seconds on 6rs albeit after multiple tries .
Excellent. Good to know. I'll keep trying
@perfectwrist23 not going to lie , took me like ten tries it can really try your patience honestly cursed out my poor seiko in 4 languages . Never regulate a watch if your drinking to much coffee . . . . Trust me brothers 😅
SPB387 has lume but also a date window. Don't know if that makes it better looking or worse?
Really? I'll take a look. The looks of this one will be hard to better ....update....true enough, but sadly the hands really make these
