    Great comparison. I rotate between my SARB033 and SNKL41 at the office. I guess the magic of the SARB is in the quality you get. The disparity in price can't really be noticed by the looks, but can definitely be felt on wrist. The materials of the SARB feel better, the finishing is better, it has higher water resistance, and the movement is a few levels above. It just feels like a much more expensive watch. Love my SNKL41 too, but when wearing both over an extended period the quality difference can definitely be noticed.
    Keep up the good reviews, glad to see a Malaysian doing these!

    The SARB is better, just not 5 times better. The SNKL45 is probably the best value Seiko out right now.

      Yup. I concur. Thanks for watching Brett!

    The SARB is the better watch, but i still think the SNKL45 is, one of the best looking Seiko 5. And I wanted to own at least one Seiko 5. I also like the crown integration in the case at 4 o'clock.
    Where do you buy your Seikos? I only get the ones with english/spanish date, never the one with japanese/english.

      Hello there! I'm based in Malaysia, so I bought mine from Lazada, which is something similar to Amazon. Mine had a roman numeral day wheel though. Thanks for watching👍

    Thanks for the video. However, what would you recommend beginner watch hobbyist to look out for in spotting Feikos? I'm looking to purchase a SNKL45 online, but I also notice that some Feikos look really authentic. Its so hard to tell. Any tips or advice?

    • @NMwatch
      @NMwatch  5 років тому

      Don't believe if it's too cheap. For any new Seiko 5, the realistic price should be around USD60~100. So anything less than should be considered as fake. Doing your research by watching UA-cam videos before buying might also help. Thanks for watching man

    I really like the snkl on steel strap, unlike the common use of swapping the band for an leather one. The watch looks more balanced, the links also are gently polished on the side and it’s a great pair with polished case sides

      You mean the OEM bracelet that it came with? I haven't put it on since I got the watch. Maybe I'll give it a try someday. Thanks for watching man!

    While SARB is better in a few ways but the SNKL holds its own n even more, especially at its price point.
    By the time I'm here, the SARB033 has gone up to ard 600 bucks or more.
    So the price difference is even more crazy n vast.
    N so is the price-to-satisfaction-ratio. 😁
