A Seiko question
Hi, does anybody know of ANY Seiko model out there that has a Sapphire lens and a screw-down crown but without a divers bezel?, I'm not talking mods I would just really like to know if they have ever done such a crazy wild thing as this?

Hi all, I just like watches!!, what started it was the history for me, from key wound, crown wound, Automatics, Electric watches with a balance wheel and a battery!, to tuning fork hummers, LED Quartz...

You may want to check out the Seiko Prospex Alpinist line - they have a sapphire crystal and a screw down crown. I like the SPB249 and SPB243 myself (Laurel Alpinist 1959). Good luck!
Alpinist models. Specifically Baby alpinist if you do not want any type of bezel
Ah yes thank you, I'd forgotten about the Alpinist, I'm not a fan of internal bezels or cathedral hands,
Slim pickings It seems, I liked the look of the Laurel watches with their dauphine hand set and I thought it would be perfect, but when in the hand I thought it seemed a bit small and dainty,
maybe I'm just too fussy?, I really want to like Seiko but they only really seem to Pee me off.
I have 5 sapphire Seikos, all $160 or less, that don't have screw down crowns but all claim 100m WR. I don't like screw down crowns on watches that are not going to do any diving.
