Seiko Owner Review : Endearing, coveted and balanced

I present to you the SARB 033, which I offered to my son. Watches with the ideal dimensions for his teenage wrist (38mm in diameter, 11mm thick, 44mm from lug to lug). This model of watch, no longer produced, required ordering it as an import on the Japan market. Called "Baby Grand Seiko", this watch has become a "must have" by collectors and its price reflects this today. Its deep black dial, its faceted indexes, its date disc in the same color as the dial, the beveled insert of the date, are very successful. Its case has an alternation of polished surfaces (bezel, sides) and brushed surfaces (lugs). I added a jubilee bracelet from Uncle Seiko. This watch is a good alternative to a Rolex Datejust. It has a very reasonable water resistance of 10 ATM, despite its non-screwed (signed) crown. The 6R15 caliber can be admired through the transparent case back. The dial glass is a flat sapphire.
