I had originally purchased this back in 2017, traded it last year and got it back from the same person I traded it to last week. For some reason I just like the watch. Not expensive by any means, not even close in value to my vintage AP or others in the collection but I wear this watch. The AP stays in a safe along with a couple of other watches and only worn once in awhile. The SARB can be worn every day if one chose to. The problem we all have as collectors is which watch to wear.
My Photo above. First impressions are it is very comfortable, spot on time wise and looks sharp. Case is a bit thick, the newer versions of this using the lessor movement are a bit thinner. Will do a real review after the first of the year. My recommendation at this point though is if you find a SARB065, buy it. The SDGM001 which is a bit of an upgrade from this IMHO is not worth the extra $$$$ for the small differences between the watches.
The rest of the images are from the seller of the SARB and the seller of a vintage Beads of Rice bracelet meant for my SARB

I’ve always liked those, it’s a lot of watch for the money. Great photos as well?

Thanks. One of the few watches I chose to chase for a second time.

The cocktail time is a great value and has a very unique and good looking dial.
Good to see you back again.

Thank you for posting the excellent pics of this beauty. I think it would look great on that stainless steel "beads of rice" bracelet.
Cheers, Carl
