Loved mine, but will now be selling as I have a GS to replace it.
They dont compare at all despite youtube creators tell you they do
However I think the sarb is one of my favorite owned watches of all time

I have probably owned 5 or 6 Seiko's over the years. Never viewed them as "satisfying". First watch I bought after graduating was a Col Pogue which I bought long before I had heard of Col Pogue. I wore it for a couple of years till I bought my first Rolex. I still have it, rarely wear it but will keep it for its sentimental value. Others I have worn, destroyed and binned as I viewed them as disposable and have had no sentimental value to them.

I have a few...and have had a lot...but I think the most satisfying is the classic 007

I bought my first Seiko in early September, a Grand Seiko SBGJ237. I was so impressed with the watch I traded 2 omegas for another Grand Seiko, an SBGA231. Historically, I’m not a flipper but I sold the SBGJ237. It’s a gorgeous watch but I realized I was struggling to tell the time with it. The GMT hand is white and the time hands are silver with white lume. At a glance I could hardly tell what time it was. I kept confusing the minute hand and the GMT hand.
Enter the Seiko SNR033. I hadn’t seen this watch until last Saturday morning. I saw it and had to have it.
So, after this long winded story, I’m going to say, I really like both Seiko watches. I have two Rolexes and they’re great but I’m a huge fan of the Spring Drive movement. The Rolexes sit in the safe and I wear the Seiko's.

This one - Alpinist SPB089 - one of my favorites from Seiko, or any brand for that matter:

Here is mine.

Lovely watch. Super comfortable bracelet.

Every time I wear this I feel like I should sell my submariner and Speedmaster and free up some cash!

Well, I only own one. It’s the first generation Orange Monster. I love it. The new King Samurai white dial is amazing and may end up on my wrist soon.

My favorite is my Grand Seiko SBGX295. I got it for my 10th wedding anniversary. I wanted a dress watch that I could throw on for those rare dressy events. The 9F movement is amazingly accurate, the dial is snow white, and the leather band is the best OEM version I have seen.
