    It would be a perfect size on you. The lugs are beautifully curved to hug the wrist, it's a classic sized watch that doesn't wear small at all.

    I must admit It does look good on you.

    Have any of you used 1st-Outlet.

    Just taken this to show you my wrist with a 42mm Watch, I'm not convinced I would get away with 38mm

    I haven't used them before, but they've got nearly 2000 pieces of positive feedback in the last 12 months plus you have eBay/PayPal protection so I wouldn't be too concerned about using them.

    I’d say 38mm would probably look a little small on your wrist mate.

    I’ve got a 6.75” wrist so I think it would look fine on myself as a dress watch but I doubt you’d get away with it imo.


    Anyone had any experience with 1st-Outlet on eBay? Seem to be the cheapest place to nab a 033 atm @ £270 - delivery date of mid April though which is a shame as my mrs wants to get me a watch for my birthday which is in 10 Days time :(

    Hard to say I guess without seeing it on. The watch you have there has a big bezel whereas a watch like the 033 is all dial so even tho it's smaller it takes on a different look. It's not a small 38 if that makes sense.

    I only got mine today and I'm amazed at the quality of the finish on it at this price point, it's ridiculous. I set my mine exactly to my G-Shock about ten hours ago and it hasn't lost a second yet.

    Only thing I'd say about the delivery date of mid April is, when I ordered my Alpinist it was a long delivery date but it turned up after 7 days. That was Gizmo though not 1st Outlet, but I think they operate a similar system of importing from Japan to Ireland then posting internally to the buyer.

    It was a UK based seller, Galaxy something or other, on eBay - it was their last one. I originally ordered from Creation but delivery time was daft, so I cancelled and ordered this one. Slightly more money, but I ordered at 3pm yesterday and it arrived 10am this morning. Am really happy with it.

    Can’t find anything about a delivery date with 1st-Outlet, only that they will ship in 3 days.

    1st Oulet, Citi-Wide are actually Creation Watches and you will receive your delivery from a warehouse in Salford within 6-7 days even though they usually quote more than 4 weeks. If you order direct from Creation using the £6 RM delivery you will receive it from the same warehouse within the same timescale and it may be slightly cheaper as they will not be paying eBay fees. In all these cases VAT will not be added.

    If you go to the description and scroll down to shipping it says shipped within 3days.

    There is no stock on creation’s site though so it’s not possible to order direct from them. At least when I looked this morning there was no stock. Sarb 033 that is.

    If it’s shipped within 3 days from Ireland why a delivery date of mid April then??

    1st Uk will import it from Japan to their warehouse in Ireland before posting it on to you. This saves you paying import tax. Previously they probably had stock to send straight out, but with the discontinuation announcement they sold out quickly so I imagine they've extended the delivery time to factor getting more stock over from Japan.

    Yeah, they've probably acquired a batch from Seiko to sell having sold out over the weekend with demand suddenly spiking. Note they've bumped the price up from £240 to £270. So they have the product to sell, but as the watch is a JDM and therefore only available in Japan they will need to get them over to Ireland before sending out to buyers. This is how they prevent the import fee being passed onto the buyer and therefore why they seem so cheap.

    I'd bet any money you wouldn't be waiting til mid April, they're probably covering themselves to mitigate negative feedback about late deliveries.

    Haha. I don't think you can lose. It's a beautiful watch and great value, versatile enough to be dressed up or used every day, classic styling and monochrome means it will go with any strap. My mate has his on tan leather, it looks fantastic. And, if you feel it's too small you won't lose money selling it on new & boxed, especially in the current market.

    Let us know how you get on.

    I’ll report back when it arrives.

    If possible, could you get a pic of your mates on the tan strap. I’ll be looking at getting a strap and the tan sounds really good. Be interested to see what it looks like.

    The original image on Instagram says it's from Watch Gecko, so probably this one in light brown https://www.watchgecko.com/classic-h...ther-strap.php

    I ordered a SARB033 from Gizmo-Outlets on Friday, still not received any dispatch notice though. Is it maybe simply a case that the seller sends out the watch without any notice?

    It is annoying when sellers don't Mark as dispatched, anyway, I've just got my Watch fix,but not in the way of a sarb

    Well I sent them a message this morning asking to cancel my order and for a refund, in the hope I can get an order in @ Gizmo. I doubt they’ll even reply...

    I bet the delivery will not be that long, just covering themselves. I did notice that Gizmo only had a few left.

    Cheers 👍 Really pleased with the watch and also the strap and how they combine. Black dial with tan leather is my favourite combo. The quality of this strap for £15 is just fantastic, much like the watch at its price point. I had this strap before but included it in a sale when I moved a watch on, knew it would work great with the Sarb. Plus, I transferred the 033 bracelet onto my Alpinist and it's given that a new lease of life too so win-win!

    I have finally got my SARB033 yesterday. Also I received the Alpinist ordered in the same day from 1-st Outlet, on Monday, even if they have not bothered to mark it as dispached.
