Interesting case. Golden but not shiny and subdue. The surface crystals give it a gray hue and in some angles of light, it looks grey metallic. It is not showy and attention catching at all which is what I like. Like all other all metal g-shock, the clasp is a weak point. Stamped sheet metal makes it feel sub-premium. The normal display is very easy to read unlike the reverse (black) version. Even the case back has the crystallization treatment - nice touch.
The bracelet uses spring bars to resize. It is not easy especially the reinstallation. You have to get both ends in at the edge and then wiggle the spring bar into place. The small size of the spring bar makes it a challenge.

Really pleased with this watch. No concerns with finishing or quality.
The colour of the dial is slightly more silver/grey than the photo suggests - the cream colour is only in certain light. Also note that the crystal is slightly domed.

Superb watch. Perfect finish as described in the two previous reviews. Duratect protection made me decide to buy. I have another ATTESA from 2007 that still looks like new, even after many years of wearing it. To me nothing compares to CITIZEN. Citizen is ICHIBAN regarding quartz technology.

Beautiful watch, pictures do not do it justice. The dial has a great deal of depth and the indicators reflect a rainbow of light. I probably sound like I'm echoing Mark E., but his comments are spot-on. I was also very impressed with the machining and finish work on the case and bracelet, it's obvious that Citizen has the titanium thing figured out (Grade 5, unlike more expensive competitors like Tudor, which use the inferior Grade 2). There is just the right mix of satin and polished areas. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent service from Sukura with super fast delivery to Aust. and regular shipping updates. A beautiful, big and chunky diver from Seiko which arrived well packaged and undamaged. AND, at the best price on the internet. Highly recommend this seller.

For the price of a used Sarb033 we have now a fantastic case with high level polishing, a dial with intricate details that appear if you look close enough (otherwise it looks flat black), a full Ti construction that's very light and comfortable on the wrist, perfect sizing, and the new 3 days PR movement. That's a home run for Seiko.

Amazing timepiece with the stunning achromatic dial matches with the steel gray colour for the overall.
Perfect price for perfect watch I must say!
Delivery is good.
Small Reminders: on the remark box:
Be sure to leave a message to avoid unnecessary delays in the shipment.
Otherwise, You can always find a watch from Sakura for a good price certainly not for all the models.
Certainly will recommend Sakura if your new and first time online purchase. Certified.

Received the SBDC101 in good time. Not fast and not slow. Perfect. The watch itself is great. Centered, and everything lines up “for a seiko.” The only issue is the notorious bracelet problems. My holding clasp that last to buckle unbuckles itself. The detent must be very weak. Fixed it by buying an uncle seiko custom bracelet. Otherwise Sakura is a great place to buy.

I recently purchased this watch from Sakura and I can confirm that it is a legitimate site and all the watches are as advertised (brand new).
The watch that arrived is really beautiful as has the JDM essence in it. I would 100% recommend to buy from this website.
Shipping was very quick and the package was nicely packed.
Side note: The watch arrived with Seiko warranty card which has Japan warranty ONLY and does not cover internationally.

Excellent Citizen Eco-Drive watch! Understated design with subtly beautiful details. This is my daily driver watch. The DLC titanium is very tough and resistant to scratches. With radio control that works in the USA, the watch is always on time. I used this watch to set all my other Citizen watches.
This watch is one of my most comfortable watches. The watch disappears with the 9.3mm case thickness, H-Link bracelet and lightweight titanium. The clasp has a three-position on the fly adjustment. It is the best fitting watch in my collection, from cold days to hot days.
Made in Japan. The second hand hits all the markers perfectly. I appreciate the high quality of this watch.

Whole procees went well but slow up to the point of delivery. The watch came and everything was pristine so yay.
I would advice NOT to use DHL. They lied about attempting to deliver the watch but when I pressed on the issue DHL blamed the third party they engaged for the last mile delivery. My apprehension of this site using DHL for delivery is the only reason I would not consider buying from you.

I have the Casio G-Shock GW-9400-1 since 2014. I really love all the features and usability plus reliability. This yellow accent edition looks sophisticated. Impossible to resist!! Thank you Sakura Watches for the speedy processing and shipping. The watch arrived in Vancouver, Canada in perfect condition within a week.

Very nice watch that runs and fits perfectly. Shipping went very well, took a little over 1 week to ship from Japan to Europe. The box of the watch, as well as the watch itself, were packaged very securely and arrived with a lot of protection and no damages

I have been thinking about buying this pocket watch for a while. Although this isn’t the usual kind of watch I buy, I was attracted by its simplicity, clean lines and overall design. I am very pleased I purchased it. This watch is a real bargain. The build quality is amazing, the design is very classy, it’s quite heavy for its size and it’ comes very nicely packaged from Seiko. Dealing with Sakura is simplicity itself. The watch was dispatched quickly, it was very well packaged and the shipping costs were very reasonable. Also, the price was the best I could find. Communications from Sakura are awesome. All e-mails are answered promptly. I am looking forward to my next purchase with them.

Was a double purchase for me with Sakura. Got this watch along with the SBDC111 and both came in perfect condition. Such a stunning watch with a beautiful dial, and the MM200 is really the most flashy diver in the Seiko lineup in terms of finishing. Definitely a great purchase for me. Excellent customer service from Sakura and I recommend them highly. Thanks.

Firstly, fantastic customer service from Sakura which to me is important. The initial shipping from Sakura took a couple of days extra but I was kept updated and the watch got delivered in 2 days once shipped to my location. The watch came in excellent condition, all aligned and perfectly running out of the box. The green is so dynamic and impressive with how it plays with the light. Enjoying the watch. Will definitely recommend Sakura to anyone looking for JDM Seikos. Thanks.

Very nice brown strap to replace the original black one that came with a Seiko SACM150 watch. Thanks for letting it be available to purchase on it's own.
Very thin and qualitative strap for the price. We don't use to find this quality with Seiko leather straps in general.

I ordered this watch to be shipped in Canada, and the entire process was super smooth and fast (DHL delivered it to my home within a week of ordering it).
The watch is excellent. It's simple in design, light in wearing it and minimalistic in usage. It does exactly what I need it to do with multiple alarms, multiple world times, a stopwatch, solar powered and atomic clock aware.

For my first order, I couldn't be happier. Delivery is fast and well documented along the way. Custom tax is heavy but everyting is in France. The watch is perfect on my big wrist. Easy to read, easy to set and easy on the eyes.

Very light, very thin, and very affordable. Beautiful bracelet. Sapphire crystal. High contrast finish between dial, hands and markers.
