Seiko Dia-shock Automatic 23 Jewels Men’s Watch SARB003

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

SARB003 is a marvelous collection from Seiko. It is a greatest men’s watch from Seiko with 23 Jewels. Its look is great. It is really a well made watch.
It has a diameter of 39mm which is one of the biggest in the Mechanical line. The lugs are thick and brushed. They are even thicker than some divers of similar diameter. Watch comes with a sturdy bracelet to match its solid watch case. The both size and thickness of this watch gave it that solid feel.

This watch comes in three color variants. The SARB003 comes with brushed bezel while the other two variants have polished ones. Seiko watches sometimes come with different types of finishing on different color variants. This series is one that has these differences. It is hard to describe the color of the dial. It seems to vary between brown and olive color under different lighting.

The dial is pretty well made. It even has very fine concentric circles originating from the center and it is more attractive and more legible. Most people who purchase this watch is happy with its pleasing dial.

Seiko SARB003 features 23 Jewel 6R15B automatic movement that hand winds and hacks, Faceted sapphire crystal on front, hardlex crystal on see thru back. Its water resistant is 100Meter. It has couple of faint marks on the case and some on the back of the lugs from strap and/or bracelet change or sizing so we’ll rate it excellent/near mint. Bracelet has been sized but all links are included, as is the box and paperwork. This watch is really a too fancy.

Part 2: What Type of Wire Should I Use?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Trying to figure out what types of wire to use can be a most difficult process when beginning to make jewelry.  One of our previous articles addressed how to choose a wire temper.  This article will discuss how to choose the wire gauge for an upcoming jewelry project.   Remember, the larger the number of the gauge, the thinner the wire.

To Find the Jewelry Wire You’re Looking For – Click Here!

28-34 gauge

The wires’ diameter measures from 0.013-.006 inches or 0.32-.16 millimeters. This is EXTREMELY fine wire. Wires with these gauges tend to kink and bend a lot —nylon jaw pliers will need to be used.  Is great for wire wrapping using small beads, wire weaving, and wire crocheting.

26 gauge

The diameter of this wire measures at .016 inches or .41 millimeters. Again, this is very thin wire and nylon jaw pliers and fine-tipped tools should be used.  Is good for wire wrapping beads and seed bead jewelry.

24 gauge

The diameter measures 0.020 inches or 0.51 millimeters.  This is still considered fine wire and the nylon jaw pliers are recommended when it gets kinks.  Great when using pearls and small crystals.

22 gauge

The diameter measures 0.025? inches or 0.64 millimeters. This gauge is ideal to use when 20-gauge is just a bit too thick.  This is a wonderful multipurpose wire and is excellent for wire wrapping beads and semi-precious stones.

20 gauge

20 gauge wire measures 0.032? or .81 millimeters in diameter. This is considered a medium wire in jewelry making and, just as the 22 gauge, it is a fantastic multipurpose wire.  Works well for making earwires, clasps, and headpins as well as wrapping glass and coiled beads.  It also recommended when making bracelets.

18 gauge

Measures 0.040 inches or 1.02 millimeters in diameter.  Is considered medium thick wire in jewelry making.  Works well for making clasps, wire wrapping beads with large holes, bracelet making and earrings.

16 gauge

Measures 0.051 inches or 1.29 millimeters in diameter.  This is a thick wire. It is recommended that heavy duty tools are used when manipulating this wire.  It is not recommended for the beginner.  Can be used for, neckwires, rings, and bracelet bases.
