Seiko SARB033

Post by perho »

I'm thinking of buying Seiko SARB033 (more affordable GS :D ).
I found one on some Japanese site and it says it's JDM (Japanese Domestic Market). I read that JDMs can/should be of better quality.
Is this true? Is there a way to see if it really is JDM (not by opening it)?
Cost is 363 USD which is approximately 260 GBP. You think this is a good price for new SARB033? I know they discontinued them, so I guess prices will rise up soon.

There is only one version, so regardless of where you buy it from, the SARB033 will be JDM. It's not like the SKX series where you have K/J versions.

I used to have the SARB035 and the quality is superb for the price, although I personally struggled to get a comfortable fit on the bracelet due to the lack of fine adjustment.

Also, new SARB033s should have the 6R15C movement inside. :thumbup:

Thanks. I would definitely wear it on strap, honestly on bracelet it doesn't look good to me but on strap I love it. :)
