  • Is the SARB035 is great! Or...is it?
    Hey gang, I wanted to grow up and be just like everyone else so I've acquired a SARB035. It seems that you can't be a watch channel unless you've had this watch in at least 14 videos so that's what i'm going to do! Booyah! Come watch!
    Future videos with this watch will include:
    Straps video
    Cinemas straps video
    SARB035 vs SARB033
    SARB035 vs Mothra (maybe)
    SARB035 vs Sharknado (really want to!)

    We sometimes hear the question "what is the meaning of life?".
    When I think about it, there is no meaning. There's a reason, but really? Meaning? There isn't one and there shouldn't be. Life...just exists. I suppose the question should be "what is the meaning of YOUR life?".
    What is the meaning of mine? I don't really know. I guess, and quite literally, time will tell. Shit, that's deep, kinda. I suppose that right now, my meaning is to figure out a way(s) to be able to create things and explore wherever and whenever. For now, I love to create these videos!

    On the one hand I think your reviews are a little bizarre and you are a little odd. But that pretty much describes everyone in this world that I truly appreciate. Your reviews are oddly perfect. There is no faking this. Thank you for what you do man. Keep doing you.

    I only got into watches almost a year now, but damn! What a year it could have been if i saw you earlier! You are fluidly hilarious and refreshingly fun. I almost always watch videos at 2x speed, i drop it down to 1.5x if they talk fast but never have i ever encountered a person where i actually wanted to watch at normal speed. I didn't even know i could experience this feeling, I'm more mind-blown than LSD/DMT experiences. You are an excellent entertainer and reviewer, a difficult combination to come by. Well done sir.

    Also amazing review, thanks for being unbiased, but personally i prefer the 017.

      Funny you should mention that. That intro was totally inspired that show :p

    My SARB035 didn't click with me until I got it on some black leather. There's just not enough contrast with the bracelet but on a dark strap the steel and white just pops

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому +1

      I'm going to try it on a variety of straps soon :)

    • @rhodesiano
      @rhodesiano 5 років тому +1

      Thats exactly what happened to me. I put a black croc strap and it looks fantastic.

  • @mattjackson6871
    @mattjackson6871 7 років тому +4

    I was the other way. Liked the SARB035 straight away. Didn't like the SARB033, but grew to like it over time. Never wore either watch on the bracelet. Might give it a try now tho.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому +1

      Everyone's different, I suppose! I suggest the SARB033 on a black, semi gloss strap. It makes it pop for sure!

  • @planetdee3587
    @planetdee3587 7 років тому +3

    This watch sometimes takes time to grow on you but as you hold it in your hands and wear it every now and then it becomes more apparent why it is so good for the price and feature set.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому

      It's amazing how common this "grow on you" theme is regarding this watch. Quite impressive, actually. I am certain it'll click on me.

    • @planetdee3587
      @planetdee3587 7 років тому

      minitwatch, its funny but I posted the comment before finishing the video but in the back of my mind I was like, "Doesn't he own the Sarb033?" So now I know you will end up like this watch because it is the same thing. I bought this one over the black dial in 2015. It was just less common and more my style.

  • @ÕnûthTHUR-URSTROMTAL

    Man stunning watch and as always great review...!
    As for the feeling I had the same one firstly when I've unpacked it, as I said to myself: "What's that small watch...?!"
    I own a lot of Seiko automatic divers and really love them and size definitely is bigger than this one.
    But followed you're advise, even if at the beginning I didn't really have a crush on this watch, this watch is having something that was pushing me to give it a try.
    Must admit I wasn't wrong at all, as after 5 days wearing it I simply love this watch, stunning, splendid one, a real beauty and even if I wasn't at all into small watches this one completely changed my opinion on them.
    For example, I've tried yesterday a SARY055 and man found it way too big even if it's only a 41 mm case...!
    This watch simply and definitely transformed my way of seeing small dress watches in a very good way must admit...!
    Was just wondering if to buy the SARB033, but I think the black dial will make it look smaller than the white-cream one...!

  • @toolongforyoutoread6

    I was lusting after this watch and the SARB017, but I think that the silver-dialed Hamilton Khaki has superseded my desire for both.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому +1

  • @mikedru2912
    @mikedru2912 7 років тому +2

    I bought a sarb033 a couple months ago and I on first impression I was sort of underwhelmed. But after time of not looking at it, and not watching a lot of videos about it, I really love how it looks. After I "cleansed my palette" I really thought it is beautiful. Not sure what that means about this watch but just my opinion of what happened to me.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому +1

      This seems to be a common thing with these SARBs. It truly is a watch that one develops a relationship with.

  • @situation_zero
    @situation_zero 7 років тому +15

    Really enjoying your videos. The cream dial should be on a strap, maybe dark brown alligator? The SARB33 and SARB35 are basically the same, no? Put the SARB33 on the bracelet and the 35 on the strap. I wish Seiko made that watch with a silver sunburst face. It would be like a Seiko version of a Rolex Air King. Cheers.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому +3

      Oh my gosh, a silver dial version would be FANTASTIC.

    • @andy_NQ
      @andy_NQ 7 років тому

      This, i totally agree. I bought these 2, Sarb033 for me and Sarb035 for my GF. Sarb033 is pretty decent with bracelet, very shinny, while sarb035 is not, so i buy her a white Eulit Kirstall perlon and it's awesome, she likes it very much.

    Thanks for the honest review, Curt. You're right people love the 033/035 a little bit too much almost, so good to hear this. I'm always on the fence with the 035 - although I think it could come to life on a brown strap? Waiting for your strap video. BTW - do you still date SARY055? That's my no. 1 daily Seiko right now (on black strap). Alright man, take care.

    I have this watch. I like it. I appreciate it but you're right. It would be the first watch in my collection that I would give away to a good friend (a not so good friend would get a Casio -- a cheap Casio). In my 20 watch collection this one is my eleventh or twelfth favourite which is where I think this watch is intended to be -- right in the middle.
    You lost the puppets?! You are a terrible parent. Do you remember The Lost Puppets? They were the most under appreciated 80s New Wave band.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому

      I don't remember that band ;p. But yes, I have lost them. Today, I've found them. I've re-traced my steps when I took them out to go film stuff. I found them both in a puddle near the harbor :\ That was a lucky find.

    • @neilglucente
      @neilglucente 7 років тому

  • @parsedout2576
    @parsedout2576 7 років тому +1

    Couldn't agree more. I bought this watch about a year ago, was super stoked until it showed up and didn't get much wrist time. Sold it rather quickly. It's just underwhelming in person, hard to pick out what or why.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому

      I'm going to give it a few months. Might even put one of CT's new crystals for this watch. What do you think? I know what you think :p It's going to be a yes.

    I cannot decide between the SARB033 and 035. Just like I cannot decide among the SRP773, 775, 777 and SRPA22. So which SARB and turtle should I get?

    • @watchcollectingstrategy
      @watchcollectingstrategy 7 років тому +1

      DonjonArmory First world problems am i right? 😂😂😂 In all seriousness I like the sarb033 more because the DW on the 035 if white while the dial is cream'ish which looks a bit akwars so that might bother you when you have it in hand.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому

      In all honesty, the 033 and the SRP777 is what I would do. But then again, my SRP775 with the lumed insert I put in absolutely glorious!

    • @FatSamEIE
      @FatSamEIE 7 років тому +1

      Get a black turtle and a cream Sarb. Good two watch collection then 👍🏽 cream Sarb in brown leather strap looks great as a casual dress watch and you also have a tool diver. (personally I’d go for the sumo over the turtle as that’s an amazing two watch collection- Sarb/sumo)

    I think the Seiko Z20CALF leather strap would make the SARB035 absolutely gorgeous. I love the fact it also feed the gaps any other leather strap would leave around the guard. Any idea where to find this ? It seems to be sold out 😔
    Great vid, you WILL love the 035. It’s a very subtile thing growing.

  • @treblarefils
    @treblarefils 7 років тому +1

    Had one loved it and took it one step up to the grand seiko. Negatives to me of the SARB i just dont like the chapter ring on them its ok but kinda cheapens the watch. Also the bracelet could be better but overall it is great. My example had no quality errors. Id buy the watch again in a second. The watch is very simple so it kind of takes a bit to adjust to the simpleness and be able to appreciate them. Size is excellent.

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому

      Or frozen yogurt. All frozen yogurt is just...it's just okay. I loves me some french vanilla ice cream. Mm mmm! That grit, though. I might actually mod this watch with a slight sapphire dome. What do you think? Should I?

    • @williamzoom
      @williamzoom 7 років тому

    • @neuromancerXL

    • @ZLPhD
      @ZLPhD 7 років тому +2

      Neuro It's not much different from the SKX007. Lug-to-lug they're pretty much the same size and they both fit perfectly on my 6.7 inch wrist. At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference, but I sold the 007 because I felt like the 013 is more aesthetically pleasing and is slightly more comfortable to wear. Both watches are perfect for beginners like me and I don't think I will consider any other diver watch untill I find a job after my studies and can afford the likes of e.g. a Seamaster

    I’m with you on this also, this watch SARB035 along with SRB033 doesn’t do it for me; the dial is too sterile for my taste. If they had a few more dial variations like the Rolex dayjust it would interests me more.

    • @minitwatch

  • @teamhonn
    @teamhonn 7 років тому +1

    Perfect timing. I am looking at buying a kind of dressy sports watch. SARB017, SARB035, Hamilton Khaki of some sort, Orient Ranger. Any recommendations would be helpful. I am looking for something in this price range that is between my dress watch and my diver watch to wear with short sleeve shirts. I will put it on a strap so everyone in my family can wear it. I have a seiko and Orient watches but no Swiss.

    • @neuromancerXL
      @neuromancerXL 7 років тому

      Hamilton Khaki wont work as a dress watch (my opinion), Sarb017 is fantastic as an in-between since it really is a watch that does it all. Dress, Dive, Trails, Everyday. I like the grey dial Ranger for dress, the White dial Ranger as an everyday watch. (the indices and day app on the White dial are cool but stand out, too bulky a design for dress)

    • @teamhonn
      @teamhonn 7 років тому +1

      Thanks so much for the reply. I need a business casual watch which how I dress most of the time. I hear that some people have issues with the Hamilton not having a screw down crown and getting water inside. I have to be able to wash my hands and maybe jump in the shower with it. Also my 16 year old son will wear it on dates and to church and such so it has to be pretty tough. That is one thing about the Sarb017. It is the only one with a screw down crown. I love my Orient Ray II keeps great time and I just like the weight of it. I am wondering is the White Ranger would have the same feel. I just want a watch without a rotating outer bezel like my diver. Something like a Explorer but can't afford that. Got to have the date on it. I would be lost without that. I wish the SARB035 was not so shiny. I have a black faced Seiko SNGZ that I love so got that covered.

    • @neuromancerXL
      @neuromancerXL 7 років тому +1

      Tough Call, youre torn between the Ranger and Sarb017?...Both the Sarb & Ranger will have weight.. The Ranger might have more weight since it has a bracelet. I like the white ranger the best in looks.. but I can't see it being used for dress. Maybe you should ask yourself if you want leather strap vs bracelet? I dont think they sell the SARB017 w/ a bracelet anymore, you'd have to buy (extra cost). So if you'd get sick of leather that's +1 for the Ranger. Both should be ok for washing hands, but You'd have to buy the Orient new if you plan on getting it wet. Without a screw down crown you can't trust its water resistance unless it's new. The Alpinist (sarb017) can be bought used and with the screen down crown should be fine for water. I never heard that about the Hamilton Khaki, I am sad to hear that. I've always liked the Hamilton Khaki, but as a work watch/field watch. Never somethin I'd wear to dinner or out with friends. The Sarb (or Grey dial Ranger in my opinion) are definitely watches you can wear to dinner or do anything in.. I guess you could push the white ranger to be a dress watch too if you have your heart set on it. Its markers are really fantastic the way they stand out above that white dial. just sharp..

    • @toolongforyoutoread6
      @toolongforyoutoread6 7 років тому +1

      I must respectfully disagree with Neuro's statement that the Hamilton Khaki cannot work as a dress watch. I agree that the black dial Khaki is too complicated for a dress watch, but the one with the silver dial is much more subdued. You don't need a screw-down crown to wash your hands, even a 30m water resistance should do just fine. Please never shower with your watches; the combination of soap and heat degrades seals prematurely. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of these watches. The Khaki and the Alpinist are the most like the Explorer, so if that's what you're looking for it would just be a choice between whether you want something more traditional or something more individual. That Orient looks beautiful (as most Orients are) and it's the only watch you mention that doesn't have a hacking or hand-winding movement. Overall, since you already have a conventional field watch (eliminating the need for a Khaki) and dress watch (eliminating the need for a SARB035), the Alpinist seems to be the best choice for you.

    You don't have utmost praise for the SArB035? Yoh them be fighting words amongst the Seiko aficionados haha. I'm getting my first Seiko in January and I can't decide between the SARB035 and the SRBP41 (Blue moon cocktailtime). I know there is a difference in movement and materials, but the cocktail times look so fucking good. I wish they made them in the 6R movement like the original (now discontinued SARB065), what a keeper!

  • @SOCerberus94

    Wait, what??? You "lost" Uncle Jimmy??? I'm calling BS on that... No way.
    Ahem, anyways, I think it looks amazing. If I may say, it looked great on your wrist. What a perfect sized watch for you Sir. Very nice.
    Now, if it's not singing arias to you on your wrist, well, that's okay. If it's not speaking to you, move on....
    I have to say, for a dress watch, that lume was VERY impressive.... I have a couple names you would recognize, that, are NOWHERE near that.... the lume is so faint on these bigger money watches, I honestly wonder if there is lume or not... In a super dark room, with a magnifying glass, I think I can see "something".... On that one, there is no doubt.
    The SARG 005 didn't blow me away the first minute I had it, but it did grow on me....
    The 6R15 has to be respected. Mine is running WELL within COSC specs.... So, for that reason alone, really, it belongs in your collection...

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому

      I did :/ I was freaking out. I spent hours looking for them inside my house, my car, then hours retracing my steps. I took them with me a few days a go as I went to film for another video. I always bring them with me just in case I get inspired to do something with them. Well, they fell out of my backpack (I put them inside the cupholder bit) while I was at the harbor. Today I found them in a puddle. Jimmy was a bit dirty but I gave him a bath and he's fine. Thanks goodness!

  • @Leptospirosi
    @Leptospirosi 7 років тому +1

    somehow this watch doesn't speaks to me: I have the 033 on my wrist now and I think it's even less appealing then the 035: I'm regretting not having gone with the Sarb Alpinist and it's wonderful sunburst green, because the gloss black on the dial reflects the heck out to the uncoated sapphire and the watch is almost illegible under any light

    • @minitwatch
      @minitwatch  7 років тому

      The Alpinist is definitely a glorious piece. I see my friend wearing his all the time. I think Crystal times makes ar coated low domes for the 033/035 now. I'll have to check but I might do that. Not sure.
