For fellow alpinist owner

How long does it take for you to accept that the compass bezel will never align? ๐Ÿ˜‚

I took mine back a few days ago, less than a week after purchasing it. I'm told there's a new Alpinist on its way that doesn't suffer from this terrible affliction.

It took a week for me

The first few days of ownership was agonising.

But after a week "maybe... It does not really matter?"

Bought the Baby Alpinist.

Problem solved!

This is why I hate internal rotating bezels, it would drive me nuts being out of line, who needs it?

Honestly, with my eyesight, I can barely read the compass bezel ๐Ÿค“

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚

Thatโ€™s the double edged sword of Seiko. They have a great looking dial or some other feature that is really great for the price but then these little issue might be there too.
