WHY OH WHY DO YOU DO IT SEIKO?
Feels like I’ve stolen a watch?

It sounds to me you have the “unsure”watch bug
The symptoms are, buy numerous affordable watches you like for various reasons….then lust after more expensive models which resemble the ones you already have.
The next phase is to sell some or all of the affordable ones to purchase a more expensive one, you will tell yourself that your new purchase will be your forever watch.
The forever watch will arrive and you will be happy. Then inevitably you will begin to look at affordable watches again and build up some more…….. and it all goes around again.
How do I know? That’s what I do.
The Alpinist situation has been flogged to death now in my opinion …… it’s going the same way as the SKX007/9 debacle where Seiko ruthlessly cashed in on the Seiko 5KX stuff which now change hands at half the price.
The iconic SARB017 can’t be improved upon, the horrible prospex versions and so called limited editions (come on they are simply a different coloured dial) are a way of rinsing money from customers, the so called baby Alpinist which bear no resemblance to the real thing are a waste of time, and these new GMT versions are a hyped up attempt to charge even more money with a cross between the baby Alpinist and the Rolex explorer 2
I have ditched Seiko now, I own some of their most iconic pieces but I’m off to Citizen/Hamilton for the under £500 stuff, far better quality and original designs.
Rant over just me blowing off.
