If it was a dress watch definitely the grand But Iโ€™m more in the market for a smart beater. Like the alpinist range or eve 5 what would you suggest?

I'd go with the classic Alpinist like SPB121 or the Baby Alpinist SPB155 if you don't want the compass complication.

Or the Laurel Alpinist SPB241 if you want a mix of dress and sporty.

If you going for Seiko 5, there is SRPE51 and similar references which are great all round watch. Can play around with different straps to suit the occasion. Or the SRPD dive style models for more sporty look. There are also field variants like SRPG35.

Iโ€™d say get a 009 itโ€™s an absolute classic

Alpinist ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I love my GS diver (SBGA229), or if your budget won't stretch, the Captain Willard is a beauty (SPB153J1), on the green strap and green dial.

I have tried that Watch on actually. I think the cyclops just doesnโ€™t do it for me though but itโ€™s still a gorgeous piece

Iโ€™m looking at the alpinists 017 or a diver or a snow flake ๐Ÿ‘€

ยท

it's a big catalog...but something at every price point for sure

ยท

Depending on your budget Iโ€™d recommend the SPB143

A 5 or an Alpinist is a great place to start but what's your budget? If the money is there you can vault into some much more interesting territory with the Presage or Grand Seiko models I'd you want to push the proverbial boat out...?
