Last week, I had the opportunity to put my SRP385J next to a SARX019 (watch on the right in the above picture). These two watches have similar looking case and both come with leather strap with deployant buckle. The differences are:
SARX019 vs SRP385J
– 6R15 vs 4R36 movement
– Curved sapphire crystal vs flat sapphire crystal
– enamel dial vs regular white dial
– Blue hands vs black hands
From the side, we can see that the SARX on the right has a thicker bezel. This is to provide allowance for the curved crystal.
Both have display back.
The SARX has a better quality leather strap.
(Note: the strap on the SRP385J in the picture is a aftermarket strap)
On the wrist, the SARX019 sits higher than the SRP385J since it is a thicker watch.

Good comparison, I’ve completely forgot about SRP385, nice watch. Do you were it often? So basically SARX019 is the same as SARX011, but with a little bit different dial color?

I think the difference between the SARX011 and SARX019 is the red XII marker.
The SRP385 is getting a fair bit of wrist time.

Very nice! It’ll be great if Seiko came up with an enamel dial with the dial design of the SRP. I think the closest to that was the Historical Collection 2000’s Laurel.

Ya, hope they make something like the 385 with enamel dial.

I have the SARW011 and have been wanting to switch to an aftermarket bracelet. Have you found any that work for the SARX019?

I don’t use bracelet but I think the original bracelet from the SARX001 would work. It is quite costly though.
