Edit, sorry quickly read your postโ€ฆ.. itโ€™s not the original Alpinist the range started in the 1960โ€™s in Japan, itโ€™s one of the most sought after in the range

Love this one Andy, beautiful dial and case shape and you even have yours without the cyclops (replaced crystal?)... Even greater for that!

Have an amazing day my friend!

Hi Miguel, I havenโ€™t replaced the crystal this is an original SARB017 which is one of three launched in 2006 ( SARB013 beige & SARB015 black) and it is one of the most popular and sought after of the Alpinist range, this series of watches goes back to the 1960โ€™s in the Japanese watch market.

I bought this from the JDM in 2007 as they were not readily available anywhere else other than in Japan at the time ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Well you know my colour, but this little beauty connected with me IMHO I think itโ€™s possibly one of the best green dials out there ๐ŸŽฏ

Have a good one John๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Ah was not aware, as most I see have the Cyclops...different versions I guess - but love yours even more for that.

Good to see you go green for a day :)!

Hello Beautiful, it needs to be worn moreโ€ฆ looks great on you!

Have and awesome day!

ยท

Indeed this is a real gem my friend! Enjoy your day today and have fun Andy ๐Ÿ™

I love mine. I find the compass very useful. Lately I go to the park and find true north and with my cap pulled low to act like kinda blinkers I follow it. So far I have ended up in the duck pond twice and stopped 3 rugby games on the nearby playing field. I am in training for my ascent up Snowdon or more likely my descent into a sheep dip.

Thanks Raymond, I revere this watch itโ€™s so small and well made it, needs protecting hence the limited wrist time ๐Ÿ˜‰

What a unique use for it๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

By the way I like your bracelet is it aftermarket or original?

It is original, but I have thought about a strap change, but I do like it as it is solid and does catch the light. Some people moan about Seiko straps but I think it is a good un. I do love my Alpinist, it is almost perfect after I got it regulated. I know it was a hype watch but I think it lives up to the hype. Your alignment with the compass better than mine, but it is not a complaint, unless I have my reading glasses on I can't tell.
