“Many thanks to Marc for his longislandwatch.com online reviews of this watch that will surely become a must have collectible in a few years!
I love the classic simplicity and good looks of this watch! Not to mention the excellent time keeping of the solid 6R15 automatic movement!”
“Seiko announced earlier this year that the SARB033 would be discontinued so I thought I'd should snap one up as Long Island Watch had them in stock. The watch was posted quickly and is good looking, with a great movement and it suits so many different straps. My only hesitation had been the size as 38mm would wear quite small on my flat 7.25 inch wrists, however, it looks great! Very happy with the watch and the service from Long Island Watch. The only negative experience was FedEx messed around giving delivery dates that weren't met. Eventually the watch was delivered on a Friday, despite FedEx tracking telling me it would be delivered on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, stating it had been delivered on Thursday (it hadn't) and finally delivered to one of my neighbours on the Friday. Lesson learned: buy from Long Island Watch but don't use the FedEx delivery option! :)”
“Watch came as expected. Plastic still on it, with tags, new in box. Service was excellent, emails were answered within minutes of being sent! Would recommend to a friend.”
“I spent a lot of time researching watches in this price range and by the time I picked the SARB033, it had already been discontinued. I was so happy to find out the LIW was getting some in stock. I thought I was going to have to order one from Japan and wait weeks or months to receive it, but instead I had it in less than a week. So far, I absolutely love it.”
“I bought this to have a "dress" watch. Replaced the bracelet with a deployment clasp + leather strap. Way more accurate on my wrist than in my drawer where it seems to gain time. Ticks my checklist of sapphire crystal, 6R15 caliber and a size that doesn't takeover my wrist.
All that noted, there are Presage models that cover the same look for less money.”
“not really taken with the Black dial. I'll have to give it more time. That's why the four star rating. As for the delivery, packaging etc. excellent service as always from LIW, five stars. The watch is keeping perfect time.”
“This watch is the perfect size and the finish of the case is fantastic. The hands and dial are an elegant combination . Marc had my order processed quickly and he is always a pleasure to deal with.”
