Seiko SPB121J1 2020 Green Alpinist

[Silver_Fox]

Worn pretty much nonstop since Friday. I think this honeymoon might last a while!

Also, I purchased a brown leather strap that should be arriving tomorrow. I’ll post an updated wrist shot with the new strap.

Congratulations on this great watch

Congrats!

I really dig this watch on the new strap. It changes the entire aesthetic of the piece into something significantly more versatile and handsome.



Also, please excuse the dog hair on the rug.

Lol I think my strap is upside down

easily done lol - you concentrate so much on not scratching the lugs you sort of forget which way to fit the strap - looks good and very different to the black one supplied

[Silver_Fox]

Haha that’s right! I have since fixed it.

Nice . It’s like the red alpinist with the cyclops.

Just checked my warranty card and realized it’s blank. Never bought a seiko before and I’m not sure how meaningful a blank card is, if at all. It’s a 725 dollar watch at the end of the day, so not that big of a deal, just not what i expected. Any thoughts? Potentially a problem?

Got it from Hodinkee and I’ve saved the receipt with the papers. I think they’re an AD - at least i think they are for grand Seiko.

I would check your Hodinkee account on their site. All the paperwork should be backed up there including your warranty card, at least that’s the way it was when I bought my Oris from them. If it’s not, just reach out to them, they’ve always been super responsive to me.

They’re definitely a Seiko AD as well and you should have an extra year of warranty on top of whatever Seiko’s standard warranty is.

you must be fine as hodinkee only sold the limited edition blue alpinist last year
