Just got my first Seiko 5. I love the watch! Amazing value. I wonder why Seiko does not sell there value line in the United States. They could clean up if they were in Macy's and the like. Better price and a zillion times better than any Fossil or Invicta I have ever seen! Anyways lets see your Seiko 5s! Comments welcome all around!

What reference # is this? Looks just like a Sarb035?
Not my watch but I believe it's the snkl41.

Got today my SNKL71 also known as the Baby Sarb035.

Needed an easy dressy watch to wear with shirts and this one really matched my criteria. I've always liked the Sarb035 but wasn't ready to drop 400$ on it so i went for this and it really scratched my itch. I'm so glad i've kept 300$ in my pockets while still getting such a nice watch, obviously not even comparing it to the Sarb but still.

The case shape is amazing, one of my favorites between the 5's. Only complaint is the 18mm lug width but here i'm wearing it on a 20mm suede strap. Basically if the strap is soft enough you'll manage to put it on the watch easily and it won't even be noticeable, i believe.

It has already been discontinued so get one while they're still around, it will become a sought after Seiko 5 in my opinion.

SNKL41 I think. Great watch and looks good with that strap!
Couldn't help myself. Less than $50 lightly used from eBay. I think it's a SNZE14. Now I'm not really sure why I've avoided gold tone watches for so long. It's a perfectly acceptable and fun level of gaudiness. The right size too. It will definitely see some time in the rotation.

Hello everyone, my first post. Sorry if it's in the wrong thread. Just wanted to ask what the difference is between case 03V0 of the snkl23 and the 01V0 of the snkl41. Thank you in advance.
Welcome! The cases of the two watches are similar in design, shape, and measurements but not exactly alike. The lugs on the 41 are thicker as opposed to the sharply tapered lugs of the 23. The best resource to compare and contrast Seiko 5 models is watchsleuth.com. You'll be able to see the case difference in the pictures.
