I have fell in love with this piece. I put it on a brushed/polished bracelet, and all I can say is WOW. I had over 15 watches in my collection, but because of the SARB's versatility I now only have 3. A G-Shock, speedmaster, and my trusty SARB.

I own the Sarb 035 and it will never leave my collection - I never get bored going back to it in my rotation. I would say I enjoy it more each time I wear it. For me the movement is the only real let down - my skx007 is more accurate out the box! If it had a good AR coating and didn't have the small gap between the end link and bracelet I think it would be the perfect watch! Hoping to put it on a colareb strap next. Thanks for the content - enjoy watching your videos.

@@christopher8048 yes, this watch has been in production for a while and makes way for more inflated models. Not only the GS model you mentioned but the presage lines. Makes no sense to keep this around when they are adding another zero to the price of very similar models. So you're spot on, I have sarb033 sitting alongside other dressy pieces from pp and lange for example, and this watch makes me so comfortable that I have no urge or desire for a GS. Wonderful watches though

I think business-wise they realise they hit a limit in price to quality ratio. Considerating the prices of the newest Presages and Premier, we can clearly see that you need to pay aprox 40% more to obtain the same quality as a SARB. It must be a strategy for making collectible classics and raising the price of the mid-range products at the same time.

I think the SARB03x is more akin to the Aqua Terra rather than the Seamaster. I put mine on a Strapcode Oyster with polished center links and it really enhances the look. Plus the clasp has many more micro adjustment positions than the OEM bracelet which gives me a more precise fit. Glad I got mine before the discontinuation announcement. I think Seiko did that to differentiate price tiers between 4R3x movements and 6R15 movements with the latter being a premium price category.

@@joshuaC. if the Jubilee came in a non-Angus version, I would have gone with that one, but as it is, I think it's too thick and, well dare I say it, beefy, sorry. 🤦🏻♂️ I even wound up swapping out the Strapcode clasp on the Oyster for something slimmer because it was just too thick and there was a massive gap between the links and the clasp. Felt like I had a pack of chewing gum on my wrist. Frankly, sometimes I think their products are simply over engineered for marketing purposes. Had to have them send me two spare links because the screw head came completely off the pin of one and another screw was so tight in the link I couldn't even remove it with locking forceps. those links are now permanently stuck together. Their tolerances are excessively tight. Actually too tight. There is no reason that they need to make different end links for an 033 and an 035 - just make them with more play to fit both cases. And it would make installation much easier too. My first rule is always simple is better. OK, rant about Strapcode over and of course, just my 2¢ as always. 😬

But, as my dad used to say when I was a kid, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” And being a smart ass, I used to say, “Well, actually, it kinda does. It is just paper.” Maybe when my Oyster gets scuffed beyond repair, I’ll spring for the Angus Jubilee. If I have any money left. I’m sure I will have bought a few more watches by then.

I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I watched a hundred videos about how this watch WAS such a great deal that there’s no way I’m paying $500 for it. It’s weird to be new to watches, hear non stop about how Seiko is where the value is, at the exact moment in history that Seiko decides to shed it’s affordable image and discontinue nearly every well reviewed affordable watch they have. Why bother? For the same price I can get better specs from micro’s, or street cred and an ETA with entry level Swiss! I get that this is their issue but they force my hand. I feel like I’ll get the least value out of Seiko now.
