Congrats Erik! Nice shot!

Received mine yesterday. In a word, Perfection. IMHO

A stunning timepiece up close & personal.

A great vacation piece as it's just a Seiko

Having just received mine, I now see why it hasn’t left your wrist. Such an awesome watch

Been on the lookout for one of these SARB029s in good condition for a while. When I got it it was running three hours fast per day so I figured it had been magnetized. After a quick session with a de-gausser and a bit of adjustment to the movement, it’s now running about -3 seconds a day which is acceptable for me.

At around 37mm with the pronounced dome crystal, it’s something that Seiko no longer offers.

Nice pic! I don’t see my SLA037 leaving my wrist for awhile. I haven’t been this impressed with a watch in a long time.

Been wearing my SARBs a lot lately. I feel this one just belongs on a strap.
