Upgrade for the SARB017

Recently just got this awesome “president” style Uncle Seiko bracelet for my Alpinist. Definitely brings this piece up a notch. Such a looker!

Hey man, I don’t blame you there. I helped a buddy track down an Alpinist GMT, and his strap actually broke while he was wearing the watch within the first month. Certainly better to swap it out!

Thanks for this post! Have been thinking of getting the same Uncle bracelet for my Alpinist, with the idea of it becoming a more versatile option.

I would go for it. The quality of the build is fantastic. Under 100 USD for the milled clasp option is such a bargain imo! Definitely is giving the watch more of an upmarket feel. Up there with my Grand Seikos and Tudor!
