I have this one as well and was stunned. Giving serious consideration to getting the silver leaf one as well. I have liked Grand Seiko for years, but not so much anymore given their pricing verse the new Citizen competition.
Go on AliExpress and there are many 19mm straps. Cheap enough for you to order and test before committing serious money on Delugs or Holbens or Hirsch etc
As good as this looks in pics and videos it's even more stunning in person. Because it's hand-made that means no two dials are exactly the same as well.
@@beyond36horology there’s an option from a cheaper model I hear but it’s a cheaper bracelet and I think it may detract from it If it came with a nicer bracelet I suspect it would be $100-150 cheaper than my seiko sarx057 and it compares well agains that watch but the seiko has a very nice bracelet with five peice links with the parodied bits being their own part and the whole watch and bracelet is titanium hence why I’d think this with a good bracelet would be that close in price And they are very similar in specs and being dressy sports watch’s or sporty dress watches
@@beyond36horology if it had a good bracelet I’d expect it to be the equal of my sarx057 with a slightly cheaper price for not being titanium Gonna try some other straps but I think the stock one goes well with it
The strap lengths (just the leather) are 68mm for the strap connected to 12oclock 125mm for the strap connected to 6oclock The strap is held together by a deployant clasp.
I think SARB033 is in the diffrent class. It has more classic, clean dial, and has a cheaper prize, has staniless stell bracelet that more versitile if you get bored you can swap it with leather, for clsssic watch i prefer a clean dial , just my opinion

Yes, Citizen has been doing good work recently. Perhaps helped by it's recent acquisitions?
Ended up grabbing this. Wanted something on the greener side, but when I saw this, I was just blown away.
Can't wait to wear it
Other than the strap, no regrets on this.
@@beyond36horology any recommendations on a replacement strap the suits this watch?

Yes it is indeed a beauty
Mine just came in
Amazing watch
No doubt about that. If they had it with a bracelet, it would be even better.

Which one do you prefer the silver or the blue more?
Blue by fact I bought it. The white is very subtle and you'll end up having to anguish between this lacquer dial or the white washi paper dial.
Nice! Dilemma indeed the washi is superb
Waiting for mine to arrive! My daughter is in Tokyo and also bought it a Yodabashi!
Are you the same person who asked a similar question on one of the Facebook page recently?
Yes. Did you recommend Yodabashi?@@beyond36horology
Where do u sell your less worn watches at?
Through the carousel app
what is maximal strap length?
The strap lengths (just the leather) are
68mm for the strap connected to 12oclock
125mm for the strap connected to 6oclock
The strap is held together by a deployant clasp.
How much did you get this for sgd wise?
I cannot remember, sorry.
Goodday, sir. I have this watch. Is it still reasonable to have the nb1050?
I think just stick to this watch. Both watches have the same movement but this has a superior dial.
@beyond36horology was thinking the same. just needed that 2nd opinion 😅. thank you sir. love your collection. guess i'm going for that SACM150 next.
Yes if u buy the nb1050-59a you'll have a bracelet to fit both and a watch with lume
what is about accouracy ? is this 28800 ?
Yes, 28.8
You had the 'yen' for a Citizen watch, good pun!
Thanks. The Yen is moving strongly though
9011 deki Rotor tek yönlü mü saati kuruyor, çift yönlü de saati kurabiliyor mu?
It sounds like it winds in one direction. The rotor spins freely when you move your wrist.
DID BRO SAY A ONE QUARTER INCH RIST?! Damn thats crazy
True
Only if it was a tad smaller.
Yes I agree.
Absolutely stunning dial!
I think so too!
a lovely looking watch
Thanks for sharing. Yes it is indeed.
Gorgeous very nice choice
Thank you
Just got this watch. Order a new leather strap and bracelet for it.
I currently have it on an Arterm strap
I think SARB033 is in the diffrent class. It has more classic, clean dial, and has a cheaper prize, has staniless stell bracelet that more versitile if you get bored you can swap it with leather, for clsssic watch i prefer a clean dial , just my opinion
The main issue I have with the SARB is that it is discontinued and the asking prices are close to this Citizen.
