Well the Rolex has the better movement for sure, but in reality the 4R movement is fine and solid (spent another 50€ for a regulation). But if you really have to decide between this and a Datejust, so you are willing to spend 10,000$, do the following: Buy 20 Seikos and give one to every friend and family member. This will give you much more joy, then a single Rolex can ever do.
My first look at the SARY057. I just received my SARB033 in the mail yesterday, and would love to see the comparison video you mentioned between the SARY and your SARB035.
Seiko is always humble with their accuracy. Even with their seiko 5's. Most of them could pass cosc certification easily. They just don't put it out there that they have accurate movements. They even downplay the accuracy of their spring drives. I have no idea why they do this. It's a Japanese thing I guess.
They do it so that if a dodgy one makes it off the production line and is doing +20 seconds a day, it's still within parameters and they don't have to service it at personal cost.
I have both the Sary057 and Sarb035. The Sary gets much more wrist time. Had the Sarb first, was planning on a 033 to match, but got this instead. Very glad I did👍
Yes, the black bay is also an all time favourite, especially the red bezel. Most people will suggest their new in house movement, but have a look at the ETA. They have regulated it to perfection on my Ranger and future service will be a big saving.
This watch is more like the Seiko SARZ005 and not like the Turtle. Also 21,600 beats per hour and not per minute. It is a 3Hz watch. Nice watch nonetheless. Also the caseback glass is Hardlex and not Sapphire.
I never purchased this watch but I did recently buy from Japan 🇯🇵 the Seiko SARV003 which almost identical to this watch . I love this watch as much as my Seiko divers 👍🏻
Alex imd 2 seconds ago Right.You can't compare the two. The big problem with seiko is the branding. Tell me what are they doing exclusive quality watches or big consumer watches. By the way I am a huge Seiko fan but when I wear it I have in mind the accepted tolerrance rates
hey man just wanted to let you know mine has arrived and I've gotta say it's awesome. I agree with you about the clasp but hey at this price its not a biggie, I would prefer a frameless day date window but again not a biggie. keep those great reveiws comin' 👍🏾👍🏾
If you don't mind me asking, does the day complication display Saturday in Blue? Had an old Seiko Quarts that had this feature and I loved it. Thank you for the review, as well. I am debating between this and the SARB033, and your review has definitely helped.
I have one bought in Japan in 2017. Saturday is the same colour as mon-fri, ie white letters on black. Sunday is red letters on black, just about unreadable, but if you can see red then you know it is Sunday. Personally I find the days of the week unnecessary, but the date is helpful.
Steve C the Sary has a flat profile on the side which is very easy to do, the sarbs is curved and multi faceted. The clasp is better as you mentioned and the movement is better, to a lot that's important.
I recently bought the Seiko recraft SRPC11K1. I wished the bracelet was longer. At the max size and it is still tight most of the time ( 9 3/4 in wrist ). But the accuracy is fantastic. Just checked against the atomic clock, I was 7 seconds fast from when I set it 5 1/2 days ago.
I like this watch but prefer the SARB033 as it's a little smaller at 37mm that I personally Prefer on a dress watch & I think the SARB has a better bracelet? (especially the clasp) Thank you. Would be nice to do a comparison review with these two watches
Nice watch but would have been better if both case and bracelet was made of titanium. However, at this price point, can't complain much. Is the bracelet made from solid links or hollowed ?
Drilled through lugs would be great. Turtle has em. Screw down crown would be great. Turtle has em. How is it just like the Turtle again? Nice review. Like this watch.
The reason for the contour of the lugs on the SARY is that it's for the Japan Domestic Market, so it's a big watch designed to fit slender wrists. My own wrists are very slender for a White guy, so some of these larger Seikos fit me just great.
When you hold a Rolex side by side with this or one of their SARB's, you will feel, see, and even hear the difference, and trust me it's significant. Sure, this is a fraction of the cost, but once you have held that extreme level of refinement, it's tough to go back to these much cheaper options. Now, the Grand Seiko - that is an entirely different story though.
Srpb71 is the international version I believe but with presage on the dial. Srpb69 for the white dial. I actually just bought the srpb69 which I expect next week.
Current favourites are Borealis Cascais diver, Sinn 104 pilot, and Tudor Ranger semi dress tool, all with properly designed hand sets. After buying an SKX 011, I swore to never look at Seiko again. Maybe a GS some day.
Hi there Justwatch . I (warning I may go on a bit here , will try and keep this short as possible). My Daughter and myself have been searching through a few watch vids and watch sites doing some research on this in the last few weeks. To get to the point . This Seiko is ALMOST what we are looking for . We both love Seikos and , for me personally I love the look of this and everything about it , (except maybe it's a little bit on the small side for me). What we are REALLY looking for though is MANUAL WINDING!. We don't want automatic. SO - my question is , do you know of a Seiko , just like this in overall apperance , specification , etc , BUT MANUAL WIND? Do Seiko even make manual wind watches at all now? Maybe a Japanese domestic model? I could say / ask a whole lot more but will leave it at that for now. Would love to hear from you if you can answer this / point us in the right direction . Thanks . Very interesting vid by the way and beautiful watch . (If I was a billionaire and money was unlimited , I would still prefer this to a Rolex or anything else). :-)
Jerry Barbender hi Jerry, sorry for the delay in response, I’ve been giving your question quite a bit of thought and can’t think of a watch that meets the criteria you described. Most current production mechanical watches are high end - expensive. Or, real low end but not much in the middle. Out of curiosity, why not an automatic?
Thanks for getting back Just Watch . Yes , this is what we (my Daughter and myself) , have pretty much discovered while we have been researching these watches and looking at manual winding watches. As you say , they are either VERY cheap - too cheap , or very expensive high end. There are a few nice watches we have looked at that come quite close to what we want , (Orients for example , and also we have looked at some Cavadini "Aquilas" - these are very nice , large enough for me personally and they use a tried and tested 6497 movement . However we can't find out anything anywhere about Cavadini?) But I digress. Going back to what I was saying . (To answer your question as well , my Daughter LOVES winding a watch herself . That "involvement" with it every day , putting , as she puts it , her own "energy" into it.) So , we both share that . Nothing quite like manual winding . She has quite a nice small collection of watches. Her favorites are two manual wind Seikos that she bought from a Seiko dealer some years ago. They were old then , unused new but old stock. They are "domestic Japanese" (She is from Tokyo). They are very similar in appearance to this SARY057 , (black face , similar size / shape and overall look) , but no date. It simply says Seiko , and below 17 Jewels , on the dial. One of them she wears most of the time , her everyday watch , the other she has kept pristine . (She has other watches too , I got her a Swiss Army manual wind (Victorinox) military watch from UK that she uses at work). She has been looking for another new watch recently though and , we have both got kind of involved in looking into them and have been surprised how hard it is now to find a manual winding watch. I apologise for going on at length. Just briefly going back to myself and watches for me. I am VERY big and need a large watch . I need at least 40 / 42mm . Anything smaller just looks too small on me. I am actually very much into LED watches . But that's another story. I am also curious to know what you know of / think about Cavadini? As I said , we can't find any information on them anywhere much .
Hi Mariano, thanks for checkin in. My wrist is 7" as well. It's a great size, a tiny bit on the big side, but just a little. If you like that look go for it, worst that can happen is you flip it and get your money back.
Two main differences, movement, the SARY is day/date and uses the 4R series movement, the SARB is date only and uses the 6R series movement. The SARB is also smaller by 3mm and has luminous on the hands and index markers.
I chose the Sary057 over sarb for several reasons...the sarb is almost double the price of the sary. I couldn't justify the price difference. I also like the look and size of the sary better.
Nice! Too bad they spoiled the milk and overly, and senselessly subdivided the minute markers in the way they've done to the SARBS, and the rest of the 6R15 movements lines. I mean now there are little if any Seiko's that they haven't ruined between the Seiko "5" and the GS lines.
So the Rolex has a better movement, better water resistance, a better bracelet, a better clasp, better adjustability, Better bracelet fitment, more shock resistance, better finishing, and a nicer dial. Wow what a shocker!
If you need many watch in your collection Well come to seiko fans ,because price and value. So you need a watch for every day and long time , Rolex is Choice .
yeah you are perfectly right , better price better image, better accuracy did I forget something. no . Seiko is number one. go to a pawn shop and you will see the bitter truth
1) All of them are so boring. ..The movement can be better than Rolex, but its boring. 2) Polished hands. They glare. Most of the time you need to turn the watch around to see the time. Now take that boring white dial watches with a white dial. No, its not better than a Rolex neither technically nor prestige-wise. It has and it will always be second best after Omega.
Jeffrey KRUPA too small is subjective, it's a more classic size like most rolexs, day display can really ruin the aesthetic of a watch, I have 3 watches with this function and they all look inferior to the ones I have with just date, 4R36 is definitely fine, so is the 7S26 which is the base movement. 6R15 is superior in every way, as it has a longer power reserve (my Alpinist is 58 hrs) and much more accurate (my Alpinist is +/- 1s/day. My 4r36 are all about +10-13. The Sary is definitely a really good watch but the sarb is superior, especially in case design and finishing.
Minus 35 secs and plus 45 secs per day. Far out man ...Caliber for a junior league. How could you compare to a Rolex? Don't you think it is better to associate with a Timex or a Casio? Even a 3000 $USD Grand Seiko can not match a Rolex. My Sea-Dweller 4000 ref. #116600 is plus 13 secs a month (28 days) ! Less than 0.5 second a day...
Just Watch if you're going to compare it to a DateJust you had better show comparison video and not a vanilla review. The fact that you're only about to make a video comparing it to a SARB035 implies that the SARB series is already better than the entry level Rolexes which is absurd. This makes Seiko fans look like idiots. Look, your vanilla review isn't bad, you should keep it up. Your poor choice of clickbait makes it trash and reflects badly on you. I hope this is a more useful comment for you.
Right.You can't compare the two. The big problem with seiko is the branding. Tell me what are they doing exclusive quality watches or big consumer watches. By the way I am a huge Seiko fan but when I wear it I have in mind the accepted tolerrance rates
The Seiko SARB line's comparable in quality to vintage Rolex watches; Grand Seiko's arguably better than contemporary Rolex; Seiko's Credor line, on the other hand, blows them out of the ballpark.
+Phillip Mai just calm down the game. How many Seiko do you have. How do you feel when the daily rate exceeds 30 seconds. S...T. THE other. Remember grand Seiko's working on 36 k. I called it unfair comparison. Compare the service frequency for a 36 k movement to a 3135 and you'll see the difference. Try to find a Seiko boutique !!!!!
This is a joke, right! Comparing a Datejust with any Seiko. Plastic crystal, push pull crown, too short hand set, stamped metal clasp, just a few of the Japanese inadequate features.
Well the Rolex has the better movement for sure, but in reality the 4R movement is fine and solid (spent another 50€ for a regulation). But if you really have to decide between this and a Datejust, so you are willing to spend 10,000$, do the following: Buy 20 Seikos and give one to every friend and family member. This will give you much more joy, then a single Rolex can ever do.
Love it Martin!
The best comment Ive ever read on a watch channel!
The “single” Rolex is for me, therein lies the joy.
Gerald Brienza Of course you keep one of the 20 Seikos.
Martin R. Krause: wouldn’t wear it.
The perfect watch if you’re a 1 watch guy. Beautiful, high quality, and so versatile. Can’t lose with Seiko.
1 watch guys exists? After one watch it's so hard not to get another one.
Just bought a SARY055 (white dial) a few weeks ago from Japan. Love it!
Peter Goh nice! I had a hard time deciding between both.
I'd like to see a comparison between this and the Sarb033
My seiko 5 7S26C has an accuracy of +5 Sec/day. Seiko makes amazing value for money good watches
Interesting watch, Seiko has so many models that impress, good work mate.....cheers
Thanks Shawn!
My first look at the SARY057. I just received my SARB033 in the mail yesterday, and would love to see the comparison video you mentioned between the SARY and your SARB035.
Thanks, I'll try to get it recorded and posted within a week
Judging from the comments I think you have the minority opinion! Thanks for watching!
Seiko is always humble with their accuracy. Even with their seiko 5's. Most of them could pass cosc certification easily. They just don't put it out there that they have accurate movements. They even downplay the accuracy of their spring drives. I have no idea why they do this. It's a Japanese thing I guess.
They offer great value for the money, one of the many reasons they are so popular!
They do it so that if a dodgy one makes it off the production line and is doing +20 seconds a day, it's still within parameters and they don't have to service it at personal cost.
This "Japanese thing" is also called "honesty" in other parts of the world !
Great review! I am reading that same book in your background. It is fantastic so far.
Thanks Bulldog, agreed on the book, Washington was an amazing man!
I have both the Sary057 and Sarb035. The Sary gets much more wrist time. Had the Sarb first, was planning on a 033 to match, but got this instead. Very glad I did👍
I like the way you think :-) Are yours keeping good time?
interesting. Do you notice Amy difference worn the hand sweeps. I have the sary057 due to my larger wrist size. I'm very pleased with it.
NapoleonsTriumph I need to look at that side by side, nothing that jumps out at me in the wrist though.
Yes, the black bay is also an all time favourite, especially the red bezel. Most people will suggest their new in house movement, but have a look at the ETA. They have regulated it to perfection on my Ranger and future service will be a big saving.
Thanks, on the Black Bay, I'm leaning more towards their in house movement, as I feel it will hold value better over time. Do you agree?
Nice overview. I have the Sary057. Indeed it punches above its weight.
NapoleonsTriumph thanks!
I can second that. The watch has a real quality feel to it, & it's side profile is truly inspired!
This watch is more like the Seiko SARZ005 and not like the Turtle. Also 21,600 beats per hour and not per minute. It is a 3Hz watch. Nice watch nonetheless. Also the caseback glass is Hardlex and not Sapphire.
Thanks I did mean to say per hour and mis-spoke, it's easy to do when you're talking that much lol
Canal West thumb up bro ! ;-)
It's so beautiful, elegant and sturdy. Well-done watch. I own the white one Sary055. I highly recommend
ordered mine, cant wait great vid👍🏾
Thanks Walter, I'm sure you will like it, I think it's a lot more watch for the money than the SARB and I like the size better.
I do like the size of the SARY better, I wish they made the SARB that size.
I never purchased this watch but I did recently buy from Japan 🇯🇵 the Seiko SARV003 which almost identical to this watch . I love this watch as much as my Seiko divers 👍🏻
That’s a beautiful watch. Thinking of getting one for work. My daily wearer is a turtle for almost 2 years now. Do you still have it?
I do not, can’t keep them all and I like the size of the SARB more than the SARY as I have a smaller wrist.

A lil late to the party and its probably been noted already however the exhibition case back crystal is hardlex😊
Nice review👌🏼
All the Best🍻

hey man just wanted to let you know mine has arrived and I've gotta say it's awesome. I agree with you about the clasp but hey at this price its not a biggie, I would prefer a frameless day date window but again not a biggie. keep those great reveiws comin' 👍🏾👍🏾
how is it doing?
Great video, made me a subscriber. Keep up the great work.
Just Got A SEIKO SNE507,Blue Dial SOLAR,Love It ,But Miss the Luminous Dial,Might Have to Look Into This One To Be A Future Purchase.
It is long that I wish watching a comparing these two watches. Fantastic!
If you don't mind me asking, does the day complication display Saturday in Blue? Had an old Seiko Quarts that had this feature and I loved it. Thank you for the review, as well. I am debating between this and the SARB033, and your review has definitely helped.
I have sold the watch, as I recall though the only day that was a different color was Sunday (red)
Saturday in blue & Sunday in red
I have one bought in Japan in 2017. Saturday is the same colour as mon-fri, ie white letters on black. Sunday is red letters on black, just about unreadable, but if you can see red then you know it is Sunday. Personally I find the days of the week unnecessary, but the date is helpful.
would love to see the sary vs sarb comparison
dondulah i second that
The SARY is noticeably bigger and has a different movement/complication
The Sarb is of better quality, in the case finishing, the bracelet, and movement.
Steve C the Sary has a flat profile on the side which is very easy to do, the sarbs is curved and multi faceted. The clasp is better as you mentioned and the movement is better, to a lot that's important.
Does Seiko have a white and a blue dial option for this watch ? That would open options for a truly good looking great daily wearer.
There is a white version available, I believe it's the 055 model.
The sary 055 is the same with the white dial and blued hands. It's gorgeous.
Just look up their Presage line. They have white and blue dial watches.
I recently bought the Seiko recraft SRPC11K1. I wished the bracelet was longer. At the max size and it is still tight most of the time ( 9 3/4 in wrist ). But the accuracy is fantastic. Just checked against the atomic clock, I was 7 seconds fast from when I set it 5 1/2 days ago.
I like this watch but prefer the SARB033 as it's a little smaller at 37mm that I personally Prefer on a dress watch & I think the SARB has a better bracelet? (especially the clasp) Thank you.
Would be nice to do a comparison review with these two watches
The bracelets are very close, the SARB clasp is nicer, other than that almost identical.
AND here come the twig-wrists again. You guys certainly are activists!
beautiful watch and quite versatile too if you consider different straps. well done. thanks
Thanks 5K, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Nice watch but would have been better if both case and bracelet was made of titanium. However, at this price point, can't complain much. Is the bracelet made from solid links or hollowed ?
got mine one week ago....now in 24 hours + 5sec.....i think thats great... greets BM
What a handsome watch!
Love it!
Drilled through lugs would be great. Turtle has em. Screw down crown would be great. Turtle has em.
How is it just like the Turtle again?
Nice review. Like this watch.
Nice video very calming voice
Hi Tommy, thanks for the comment and for watching, cheers!
Great review Mike 😊
Thanks Tony, cheers!
I like this one better than my SARB033 with the more detailed indices and larger size. I also lived in Jamaica Plain for a while, as shown on the map.
Did you end up doing a sarb vs sary video?
The reason for the contour of the lugs on the SARY is that it's for the Japan Domestic Market, so it's a big watch designed to fit slender wrists. My own wrists are very slender for a White guy, so some of these larger Seikos fit me just great.
That makes sense, thanks for checking in!
Guys don't be victims of advertising and marketing of swiss made watchs this is definitely a serious alternative
Actually, tissot offer much better value than Seiko. Seiko always cuts corners.
When you hold a Rolex side by side with this or one of their SARB's, you will feel, see, and even hear the difference, and trust me it's significant. Sure, this is a fraction of the cost, but once you have held that extreme level of refinement, it's tough to go back to these much cheaper options. Now, the Grand Seiko - that is an entirely different story though.
grand seiko is better than rolex but seikos 200-300$ i dont think so, they have better vfm of course than rolex...
The accuracy will change as it settles in, usually takes about a month.
Is it a discontinued model?
Srpb71 is the international version I believe but with presage on the dial. Srpb69 for the white dial. I actually just bought the srpb69 which I expect next week.
Nice! Let us know how you like it!
Marcus Sarmiento doesnt that version have the 6r15 movement and cost a little more?(worth it if so)
Still the same movement and price I believe.
Walter, I checked a few out on eBay, they look identical in every way, and listed 4R36 for movement.
Got my Srpb69j1 already its great watch. Fits me perfectly. Love the white sunburst dial.
The caseback is Hardlex.
Current favourites are Borealis Cascais diver, Sinn 104 pilot, and Tudor Ranger semi dress tool, all with properly designed hand sets. After buying an SKX 011, I swore to never look at Seiko again. Maybe a GS some day.
Thanks Jeffrey, I'll check them out. I was looking at the Black Bay the other day, very tempted by it.
Very nice looking Seiko watches. Known for quality and innovation.
Nice looking watch and I really like the side profile of the watch.
Thanks Giang, It's definitely a great looking watch.
Someone else noticed! The side-profile is amazing!
Hi there Justwatch . I (warning I may go on a bit here , will try and keep this short as possible). My Daughter and myself have been searching through a few watch vids and watch sites doing some research on this in the last few weeks.

thanks!
Washington, A Life is one of my favorite books!!!
It's so good! #HistoryGeek :-)
I have this, it's so much better on leather than the bracelet.
I bet that's really nice. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
What’s the difference with a SARB and SARY?
Two main differences, movement, the SARY is day/date and uses the 4R series movement, the SARB is date only and uses the 6R series movement. The SARB is also smaller by 3mm and has luminous on the hands and index markers.
Just Watch thank you sir
Kudos for saying kanji correctly, good man.
Forget the SARY. Go SARB. For a tiny amount more you can upgrade the movement to the 6R51. Why wouldn't you?
I chose the Sary057 over sarb for several reasons...the sarb is almost double the price of the sary. I couldn't justify the price difference. I also like the look and size of the sary better.
What is the MSRP on this?
Jay Velasquez $450 USD IIRC
My Orient Bambino looks and runs ever bit as good as that Watch and cost me for $112 in 2020 USD off Amazon. BTW Seiko Owns Orient since 2007.
got the white version SARY055 , amazing value for the money you pay !
Nice, that's a sharp watch, congrats!
There are actually life outside Seiko. Reach out. Anyway, good review. This watch should just be 38mm.
Thanks for the comment I have also reviewed Rolex, Tudor, and Hamilton, check out my other videos, cheers!
Nice! Too bad they spoiled the milk and overly, and senselessly subdivided the minute markers in the way they've done to the SARBS, and the rest of the 6R15 movements lines. I mean now there are little if any Seiko's that they haven't ruined between the Seiko "5" and the GS lines.
Can’t say on the value retention, but I wouldn’t bet against you. Being a buy and hold type, it’s not a priority.
So the Rolex has a better movement, better water resistance, a better bracelet, a better clasp, better adjustability, Better bracelet fitment, more shock resistance, better finishing, and a nicer dial. Wow what a shocker!
But it's it 8000 dollars better?
@@603gts Yes, I would say so, especially if you can get it from an AD. You instantly make 30% should you ever sell on the gray market.
If you need many watch in your collection Well come to seiko fans ,because price and value. So you need a watch for every day and long time , Rolex is Choice .
yeah you are perfectly right , better price better image, better accuracy did I forget something. no . Seiko is number one. go to a pawn shop and you will see the bitter truth
How much is the watch
Under $400
I chose the SARBs and Rolexes over that.
i wanted one until i saw the sarx035...
Better to compare Seiko vs Tissot coming from an owner of all.
For sure; I thought this comparison would be fun though and I had both available
Yes Seiko d best
What's your wrist size?
die Biographie von D just a hair under seven inches. Thanks for checking in!
This is way better than the Rolex, because it follows with over 9000 dollars that you can spend on other awesome stuff.
I have the sary055 and trust me that its not even 10% of a Rolex
Sarb for big wrist
SARY057 🆚 SARB033 please!
Aint touching Rolex
Nice looking, but even on their dress watches, Seiko can’t design hand sets that reach the chapter ring. No thanks
Interesting, which watches do you like?
Sarx045 is a nice model I wish I kept.
1) All of them are so boring. ..The movement can be better than Rolex, but its boring.
2) Polished hands. They glare. Most of the time you need to turn the watch around to see the time. Now take that boring white dial watches with a white dial.
No, its not better than a Rolex neither technically nor prestige-wise. It has and it will always be second best after Omega.
wear white gloves dude -no smudging
«Basically a turtle” and ‘no threading on crown’ (pull push) is a selfcontradiction. NOT worth more than 200 usd.
The SARB033 is a better choice. Better size and better movement.
Anders Mårtensson Not if you have a 8" wrist.
And bracelet.
Too small; too expensive; no day display. And the 4R36 movement is just fine.
Jeffrey KRUPA too small is subjective, it's a more classic size like most rolexs, day display can really ruin the aesthetic of a watch, I have 3 watches with this function and they all look inferior to the ones I have with just date, 4R36 is definitely fine, so is the 7S26 which is the base movement. 6R15 is superior in every way, as it has a longer power reserve (my Alpinist is 58 hrs) and much more accurate (my Alpinist is +/- 1s/day. My 4r36 are all about +10-13. The Sary is definitely a really good watch but the sarb is superior, especially in case design and finishing.
Seiko always cuts corners and can't keep proper time
Sb Sb Where are you buying your Seiko from?
The gap on the clasp and the lack of micro adjustments are really awful design flaws that could've been easily avoided.
is nothing like a turtle...
Hi Lance, thanks for the comment, It shares the same 4R36 movement with day/date complication at 3:00, that's what I was referring to.

Minus 35 secs and plus 45 secs per day. Far out man ...Caliber for a junior league. How could you compare to a Rolex? Don't you think it is better to associate with a Timex or a Casio? Even a 3000 $USD Grand Seiko can not match a Rolex. My Sea-Dweller 4000 ref. #116600 is plus 13 secs a month (28 days) ! Less than 0.5 second a day...
CAPITALIST1000000000 r u kidding that Grand Seiko is so much nicer than the Rolex, minus the lum of course.
"Better Than A Rolex Datejust 2"
LOLNO
Short answer: No. Long answer: Also no.
Didn't even watch just downvoted. Clickbait title not even commenting on its idiocracy!
Thanks for letting me know, now, try some decaf mate.
Awful click bait. This piece isn't even as good as a SARB033.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
Just Watch if you're going to compare it to a DateJust you had better show comparison video and not a vanilla review. The fact that you're only about to make a video comparing it to a SARB035 implies that the SARB series is already better than the entry level Rolexes which is absurd.
This makes Seiko fans look like idiots.
Look, your vanilla review isn't bad, you should keep it up. Your poor choice of clickbait makes it trash and reflects badly on you.
I hope this is a more useful comment for you.
Thanks for the feedback.
They’re both great watches actually. I prefer a 41mm with day date, and I think the bracelet on the sary looks cleaner with with it’s hard edges.
Once you said non-screwdown crown I stopped the video...
Nice watch but it's not better than a datejust cause it's still a Seiko. If KIA makes a 1000bhp car it's still a KIA not a Bugatti
True, but it also costs more than 15X less money, so dollar for dollar it's a very strong buy.
Right.You can't compare the two. The big problem with seiko is the branding. Tell me what are they doing exclusive quality watches or big consumer watches. By the way I am a huge Seiko fan but when I wear it I have in mind the accepted tolerrance rates
The Seiko SARB line's comparable in quality to vintage Rolex watches; Grand Seiko's arguably better than contemporary Rolex; Seiko's Credor line, on the other hand, blows them out of the ballpark.
+Phillip Mai just calm down the game. How many Seiko do you have. How do you feel when the daily rate exceeds 30 seconds. S...T. THE other. Remember grand Seiko's working on 36 k. I called it unfair comparison. Compare the service frequency for a 36 k movement to a 3135 and you'll see the difference. Try to find a Seiko boutique !!!!!
Alex imd which part of my comment indicated that I was freaking out?
This is a joke, right! Comparing a Datejust with any Seiko. Plastic crystal, push pull crown, too short hand set, stamped metal clasp, just a few of the Japanese inadequate features.
Jeffrey Bowden are those things worth 10k? No? This one is better.
