A lot of people recommend the regular Weekenders but they tick really loudly. They look great and are worth their price but the tick bothers me.

The best watches I've found for under $100 are:

Seiko 5 in your preferred color

Casio MDV Diver

Timex Weekender Chrono (Doesn't tick loudly)

If you choose one of these it's really easy to switch out the strap with one of these (spring bar tool)

I own all three of these watches and they are great. You can also check out different straps on Amazon or sites like cheapestnatostraps.

and a cheap plug for /r/Watches

Likely with a spring bar tool.

You need to measure the lug width in order to buy the right width strap. I can't find the lug width of this model online anywhere.

You'll also need a tool to remove the bracelet and add the new leather strap. Take a look on youtube for tutorials how to change a watch strap.

Cheers.

This spring bar has a built in release lever so a “separate tool” isn’t needed such as:

This is the set I ordered, pretty cheap and it comes with 4 spring bars for every size 8-25mm. Not sure about the strength of the spring bars since I've only been using them for a day but they seem good. I just laid the watch down on a cloth and wrapped it in a micro fiber cloth to prevent any scratching.

It's really pretty easy and only takes 10-15 min.

I bought this one and I've been happy with it.

Something like that https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B016A8I8HC/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1484114606&sr=1-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=316Ha6GGVRL&ref=plSrch ? The price doesn't seems crazy, that would be a good investment!
Edit : or maybe more like that https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01E4X06HA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1484114606&sr=1-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=51tJOOJ8TzL&ref=plSrch ?

Do not let the band that comes shipped with your watch hinder you from making the purchase. More often than not, these bands can be easily removed with this tool. Leather straps are fairly easy to buy.

What is a good bracelet link remover for Seiko Sarb033? I have looked in Amazon, but not sure which size or which one would work? Can anyone give me pointers, or a link perhaps? Will this one work?

looks like the little nub is gone for the quick release pin
link

they sell a tool on amazon link that might do it, or try one of the small screwdriver sets, you can get them at any home goods store something like this, i bought mine at Harbor Freight near where I live.

Hi. You'll need a spring bar tool. It's a little tricky on this watch but keep at it!

No need to remove each individual link, the entire bracelet is attached via the little bars on top and bottom of the watch itself. You remove the bars with the tool and then attach the NATO strap to those bars.
