Thrichar 47 Posted April 21, 2016 Been looking at picking up a black dress watch and can't go past some of the nicer Seiko offerings. Trouble is I'm drowning in options and can no longer tell my SARB from my SARX from my SARY! Three options for a start: SARX021 - probably my favourite so far - love the date wheel and matt look: SARB033 - as with most things Seiko, Gazzla's fault! Like the lume and the 'mini grand seiko' styling: SARX017 - fantastic tuxedo stripe on the dial and the red-tipped seconds hand is cool: Any ideas very much appreciated!

Kwt 11 Posted April 21, 2016 Go for the SARB033 - honestly you will love it! (I have the SARB035) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxindebox 465 Posted April 21, 2016 SARB all the way (I have one and love it ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazzla 23 Posted April 21, 2016 SARB033 every time. Superior movement and build. Then stick it on a bit of gen croc. Job done. Here's my 035: Next best, the SARY055, again on leather: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thrichar 47 Posted April 22, 2016 Any clearer? Well there seems to be a clear vote for the SARB033! Now need to track one down at a decent price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,321 Posted April 22, 2016 SARB all the way for me too. Good luck hunting. I'm guessing Creation Watches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,103 Posted April 22, 2016 SARB for me SARB029 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted April 22, 2016 Again the Sarb033 with the GS DNA - the white SARB035 if it´s an option:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,509 Posted April 22, 2016 Here's my 035: A PateIKO CalatrARB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrichar 47 Posted April 22, 2016 SARB for me SARB029 That's just gorgeous!! EDIT - 36mm unfortunately. Just a fraction too small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazzla 23 Posted April 22, 2016 There's always the SDGM003 - Seiko Brightz - if you fancy a splurge: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrichar 47 Posted April 22, 2016 Far out Gaz - you aren't helping Too many bloody options like I said in the first place. I do like the grand cocktail though - starburst dial is really nice. Looks like I'm going to have to sell something again!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k4jun 251 Posted April 22, 2016 My experience with SDGM003 says that you need really strong light to see the sunburst pattern. Most of the time dial was glossy/piano black, hope you see my point Sent from my XT1080m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k4jun 251 Posted April 22, 2016 From models which you are considering I would go for SARB033... but let me check what do you think about SARX035? Hope that helps Sent from my XT1080m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like I'm going to have to sell something again!! I suppose it depends on what case size you are comfortable with. The above range from 37-42mm. I had a SRP703K1 - 42mm: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrichar 47 Posted April 22, 2016 Screw it, I'll buy a Hamilton Trouble with asking fellow enthusiasts about watches - you end up with more options and more confused!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrichar 47 Posted May 21, 2016 In the end with so many options, I went for the cheapest possible option! Sorts me out until I decide on something higher end: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
