The Seiko SARB033 Has Never Looked This Good! - Seiko SARB033 Strap Showcase by WatchGecko

[@sfomann]

i like the fact that you not only showcase different strap options but also how to go about choosing a strap for a particular watch. Perhaps you do one for seiko sbdc053 or any watch with the Blue dial.

[@watchgecko]

Thats great to hear, We have many more strap showcases coming!

[@Jgom42]

Were you able to find a video with strap options? Have the same watch and looking for different options as well!

[@easy10.0]

Real, one of the of the best watches ever! I love it! The brown strap is very nice.

[@johnmoore5561]

The 033 on the sail cloth was my favorite. I always had mine on black leather and wore my 035 on brown leather.

[@watchgecko]

Hi John! Thats great to hear, the sail cloth is very popular.

[@knpstrr]

This is the first time I've seen this watch, what a great looking watch!

[@DuxEtRex]

It's legendary

[@sergiouno1654]

This watch had a special strap. Black. With a beautiful and comfortable clasp. Not cheap.

[@gsgleason]

In the video, the kirkstead president bracelet has 3 micro adjustment positions, but the current version on the web site only has two micro adjustment positions, which is the same as the OEM bracelet, which is why most people need a replacement in the fist place.

[@BarunMishra]

I have never changed watch straps and got a SARB033. Can you please advise what tools to get to play around straps for this watch? The chocolate brown and black sailcloth look really classy!

[@sblantipodi]

Shame on Seiko to have dismissed one of the best watch it ever produced.

[@dustycups]

They're still being made... I bought a couple that have recent date codes on them.

[@Dali82S]

Where can I buy one?

[@skfoxjrxzz5051]

Da Li on amazon

[@MichaelWerneburg]

Looks like you can still get them new on the JDM market. www.biccamera.com/bc/item/2028537/

[@mrpapua100]

because they want more money for their 6Rs

[@steelstunners1862]

One of the first watches I bought when I was getting into the hobby and after buying three Rolex and a Tudor I still love this watch. For me the best strap has to be the Kirkstead bracelet it really gives it a sporty edge. Got to get my hands on one of these to replace the original bracelet which is not great, but unfortunately you guys don't deliver to my country yet. Gutted! 😫

[@watchgecko]

Thats great to hear! It is definitely a classic.

[@13Hangfire]

The black sail cloth looks amazing... thanks for sharing!

[@watchgecko]

We're a big fan on the sail cloth!

[@louis6720]

[@watchgecko]

Thanks for the continued support Louis!

[@kongmw]

Everything looks great just not sure if the rubber straps work on the SARB.

[@watchgecko]

Which was your favourite strap show here?

[@epicunderstament867]

Please do this in the Timex Marlin 34mm Handwind please

[@ecuawezzy]

Looks great with the mesh strap.

[@4syth]

I’d like to see you come up with a jubilee or beads of rice bracelet for the SARB.

[@pharmd718]

I really like my sarb033. Very elegant and easy to wear. However, my sarb runs 32 seconds fast per day! My Steinhart diver watch with the ETA 2892 runs 10 seconds fast per day.

[@MrBanegasgaleas]

That Seiko is Gorgeous better looking than many top brands by far

[@watchgecko]

We definitely agree with you there Carlos!

[@cdc72311]

Im so glad i own this watch

[@chrisbarron8187]

You need to polish that centre endlink!

[@tk423b]

Thanks. Love my sarb.

[@Trex100]

Love that chocolate brown!

[@watchgecko]

The Chocolate brown is a great combination with the SARB.

[@beepster991]

Wear mine on a black NATO and it looks and fit great.

[@realitycomplexitygoo]

Nicely done. I would love to see you tackle something really awkward to style up ... the TUDOR Pelagos LHD.

[@watchgecko]

Thanks for the feedback and support Jamal!

[@malu.k.9989]

Some good combinations. But what about the Sarb035?

[@mattap98]

I think on the bracelet the 035 looks better, although because of the black dial, once you ditch the metal, the 033 shows its versatility

[@lefroy1]

I've got a WatchGecko 'president' style strap, and the clasp (pressed) suddenly started popping open with almost zero resistance. Any idea why and what I can do to fix it?

[@msherlock1607]

Fantastic video, I’d be interested in watching more, on any watch. 😎👌🏻

[@watchgecko]

Hi Matthew, Thats great to hear. Thank you for the support.

[@msherlock1607]

WatchGecko my pleasure, 👌🏻

[@odizlee]

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

[@crespohuerta]

So those are the straps, but where can it buy the bracelet?

[@aniruddhapoddar6354]

Is the leather strap shown chocolate brown or reddish brown? Please confirm

[@davidcoleman2463]

The dark brown is so beautiful .

[@ersingencer5949]

where can i buy this watch? i loved it

[@annale412]

Please show me the link to buy this bracelet.

[@gustavocubac]

Do you have any alternatives to the Vintage soft top grain leather strap ? Cause Is not available in your website

[@ngonzale3]

Great video. I’d love to see what straps you’d recommend for the Seiko SPB079. I may just use some of your Sarb recommendations for my SPB079. Thank you!

[@watchgecko]

Hi Nicholas, thank you for the support! Let us know which was your favourite strap in this showcase.

[@highentropy2468]

Bloody hell changing a strap has got to be one of the most fiddliest and stressful things I've ever encountered. Bought the updated Kirkstead and it arrived today. Went onto Amazon and bought a watch repair kit - eager to change straps by myself! Could I? Could I F#%! The spring bars on the SARB033 awful and even with a spring bar tool they won't budge!

[@ak2112]

The chocolate brown leather strap is the winner here.

[@watchgecko]

The chocolate brown has been very popular! glad to hear you liked this combination.

[@blackfacebogart]

It'd be nice to see you guys do an Omega Seamaster 300m, the new one or its immediate predecessor with the smooth dial. Preferably the blue dial one.

[@richouk]

I'd love to see some khaki king strap options

[@rafaeldiaz7636]

James Richardson did you end up finding any?

[@pwsod]

Sarb035 with off white dial please.

[@wenksification]

please do seiko 5 snkl41 and snkl45

[@zeerzizo5169]

My favorites are the Chocolate brown and the Silicon one for all situations.Greetings from Egypt.

[@dipro001]

Can you please do a video comparing this watch with grand seiko sbgr053 and a seiko 5 of similar looks? I feel like that is a video that should have been done but no one did.

[@watchgecko]

Thanks for the feedback! We have many plans for future videos.

[@bhavikshah5016]

Great video.. but i think this video is further inflating the discontinued sarb's prices.. :)

[@Bestow3000]

President style bracelet not for sale no more?

[@DaneFerolin]

Please restock!

[@shakchatthapa6664]

Do you think that zuludiver will look good in white for 033?

[@prickelpit2095]

I am German and my Englisch is terribal, but i give all. Very nice Watch 🤗😊

[@kmcel190]

I thought the sarb033 was perfect the way it was.... until I saw it on the president bracelet. Bought uncle seiko's brushed/polished president bracelet, unbelievably classy.

[@mvrdamonxy7942]

Link to where you got it is the centre link polished or the same as in the video because its not matching in the video.

[@kmcel190]

[@repo4]

I've had it on leather, I've had it on canvas but it always ends up on the original bracelet. Nothing suits it better.

[@watchgecko]

It's always great to try out new straps!

[@TheMathewpatel]

Agreeee

[@bingoberra18]

I feel like the case is so powerful with pretty fat lugs and the flawless black and polished look, that its hard to find something else that suits it apart from the original bracelet. The black sail cloth probably looks the best imo if you dont want the steel. I see leather straps as something a little more delicate, and so would probably want the lugs to start getting a bit narrower earlier on the case, to make the leather and lug look roughly as tough.

[@ikybaiiki]

The second leather strap looked amazing

[@robertspinks835]

Had both sarbs great watches but really dressy watches not casual imo. Never liked stock bracelet it’s good theres more choice now

[@watchgecko]

They really are great watches!

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

That president bracelet is pure 🔥

[@watchgecko]

Agreed!

[@Dario31d]

@@watchgecko pls change the clasp...it doesnt fit

[@mvrdamonxy7942]

Center end link needs to be polish to match the rest of the bracelet i think that's the only flaw

Thanks for your feedback!

How does the SARB033 look with the ZULUDIVER Quick Release Sailcloth Perforated, Beige Stitching version? I think it will be very nice with the SARB035, but with the 033? Could be surprisingly beautiful?

[@trevbarlow9719]

So I can't get a new one anymore?

You can, here it is on Amazon www.amazon.com/Seiko-Japanese-Automatic-Stainless-Casual/dp/B001AE9XRQ?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1 and on the JDM market online and brick-and-mortar stores. www.biccamera.com/bc/item/2028537/

[@canonyeo4286]

I wear my 3 sarb, the grand cocktail sdgm 003 and the sarg009- all 5 of favourite jdm on different straps and they look new everytime. And, there's still people who makes a video just to complain about the watch. Madness.

[@christophernewman5027]

So, you've been discontinued, Tim. How does that feel?

[@u.u.upatreonrequests8679]

Cant do small dainty watches. But it's cute. My wife likes it.

[@u.u.u9969]

I need him to stop throwing the words Rolex & Omega around. Those words should not even come up in this video. Other than that this is a cool WatchGecko add

[@danieldravot341]

I wouldn’t use any of those non-metal straps. The rubber and sailcloth look wrong and the others have stitching that distract from the watch itself.

[@eyeontime6136]

A 1:1 presidential Rolex would be really nice.

[@rajatwow737]

Chocolate brown strap

[@boerashid]

SARX033 is replacement and apart from the movement the quality is a notch below a grand seiko

[@larvancioramos9748]

Only BLACK strap would fit. But the original BRACELET is perfect.
