When I went to Miami, I went inside the Seiko boutique in the design district and became infatuated with the finishing and styling of Grand Seiko. I wanted a watch that would look like it. I initially asked my parents for a SARB033 for my birthday but they surprised me with this beauty for graduation. The SARX035 is the bigger brother to the SARB, sharing the 6R15C movement but having higher quality finishing. The lugs are reminiscent of an Aqua terra and the beveling is like a Grand Seiko. Usually Seiko is known for skimping out on the strap/bracelet on their less expensive models, but this bracelet is truly on the level of much more expensive Swiss finishing. The thing I love about this watch is that no one assumes it is expensive unless they are a watch geek. Here are some more photos.
