I was interested in this watch from when it appeared in an early online article. Since then it has featured on many YouTube channel reviews. Ideally I would have liked the JDM white face version but my local Seiko dealer had this SSK023K1 available and offered me a good discount (also reflecting that I bought another Seiko at the same time).
So this my first Seiko 5 and my first GMT. I am heading from London to Australia and its 3 time zones next year. And I'll start experimenting with straps soon.
I'll post about Alpinist no.5 in the next week or so.....

This is a great watch. I have the SSK003 and this one is making me want a second GMT. Damn you Seiko.
Keep looking for that JDM model! There's no reason why you can't have more than one😄 I love the look of this one😍
I am so tempted by this, too (despite having an SSK003.) And like you, I’d prefer that JDM white dial! 🤝
I've got it and cannot stop wearing it, when you look at it you realise its so pretty
