I have the 3 SARBs I want now. The 017 Alpinist (2 of them actually), the 033 and 035, wonderful watches in every way. It's no wonder Seiko discontinued them. The movement is way too good for the low price they were asking. You will see the 6R15 soon in Seiko watches for twice the price or more. The regulation is hit and miss. Two of the 3 are about 5 seconds fast a day while the third is about a minute slow a day. No biggie I will take it to my favorite watchmaker in town and get it regulated. Got all 4 before they were discontinued and paid less than $300 for each. I was very luck. These are better watches than many of the Swiss watches I have and paid much more for (the ETA 2824 SUCKS).
