How To Size The Seiko SARB033 and SARB035 Bracelet- Watch and Learn #53

Today we will tackle sizing the SARB033 bracelet. Like other Seiko bracelets, it uses a pin and collar system, but not exactly like the others. There's a few tips and tricks to pulling your hair out! Don't lose those precious collars! Save a few bucks, do it yourself, and do it right!

Thank you for watching.

I watched a lot of videos on how to adjust my Seiko Prospex Solar watch band, but your video is the only one that actually worked. Thanks a lot for the helpful video.

Life saver! Thanks for this.
I learned many new words, and lost a year of my life to stress, trying to get a Sarb033 collar back in the hole in the outside part of the link!!!

Your service is incredible. Highly recommend Long Island Watch.

Mark saving the day as usual. Word of advice: Don't resize your bracelet over carpet! If you drop the collar on the carpet, it's GONE! And as Mark said, the pin will not stay in the bracelet without the collar.

I helped a friend shorten his SARB033, and was pleasantly surprised when I saw the collar on the center link. That was way easier than having the collar on the outside edge. If I hadn't watched your #15 video with pins and collars, I wouldn't have had any idea what was going on. Thank you for these videos.

I got a deck monster from my coworker. As soon as I put it on the watch fell off my wrist. I packed the watch away and I was able to fix it today. Happy I got it going. Watched the video after I did the repair and confirmed I did it correctly.

Always excellent production and information from LIW! Thanks Mark!

This video taught me how to change my bracelet size! Extremely helpful. If like me, you don’t have the proper tools at home - patience, needle nose pliers, and a sewing machine needle do the trick.

Very valuable content for all SARB033 owners who want to adjust their bracelet themself.

just wanted to say thank you you saved me so much time and educated me i enjoy yours and the urban gentry's channel such great info

[ClaxtonBay]

OMG... Bro you completly read my mind. Just bought the 033 and I wasn't really sure what to do lol. Talk about perfect timing

[korbendallas]

You have the best vid on how to size pin and collars on the turtles. When I got my SRP775 I was worried that I’d have to take it somewhere to get it sized, but after watching it I had it done in no time. Thanks for all the help.

This took me forever to realize on my Oceanus T200. I was sure there was a collar but didn’t know where it was until it fell out. Thank goodness I had a towel to catch it. Then i spent ten minutes putting the collar into the wrong side of the link, then dawned on me to check the hole sizes. This video is so helpful. You do great work, Marc

Oh geez I'm so glad I found this, thank you for posting it! For future viewer reference; the SBDC047 Transocean also uses this pin and collar set.

Thanks again Long Island Watch for posting these helpful videos!

[DixieSpeed]

Super helpful. Thanks! I was losing my mind over why the pins kept falling out!

[mrmavstang]

Love your videos, they are always always so informative. Save me a lot of frustration!

Marc, this is a terrific video. I just got a SARB033 and sized it in about 10 minutes thanks to your instruction. (You sold out as I was ordering from Long Island Watch.) Sizing would have been a disaster without your help. Thank you, my friend.

Reeeally wish I would have watched this first... All the pins fell out of my watch while I was running down the stairs.

[baronvoncardo]

Just went through EXACTLY what you described at the beginning of the video with my SARB033 (purchased from you last week). I was losing my mind trying to get the collar into the outside of the bracelet. Finally tried the inside and it dropped right in. Had to laugh when this video popped up in my feed. I already adore the watch. It's going to be a mess in a year because I'm going to wear the crap out of it. Don't care... I'm going to enjoy it.

Thank you Marc! That is the right design for a pin and collar bracelet, in my humble opinion. I believe that’s the design my Omega SMP had. Collars on the outside of the bracelet are unnecessarily difficult.
