Alpinist

I have four Rolexes, but some of the colors Seiko has are beautiful. The green Alpinist has caught my eye and since I think the the Hulk is a ugly color green, is it worth it?

It's all about what YOU like. You can't go wrong with a Seiko IMO.

I have the 2020 alpinist, white dial that comes on a black strap. Love it. If green is your jam, pull the trigger and you won’t be disappointed. Been wearing mine nonstop since I got it and my DJ is sitting in the box.

Have been wearing my blue recently, and love it. If the green dial sings to you, go for it!

You can go massively wrong if you're trying to buy only one. They're addictive. You'll want more.

I used to own the older version, but I just got the 2020 upgraded model and I love it! A Strapcode jubilee bracelet completes the package for me:

Looks great!

I snagged a 2020 too. White dial. Put it on a brown leather strap. Middle of the date change!

Absolutely worth it. 200m WR, sapphire crystal, diashock, screw down crown. Slap it on a bracelet and it can be a perfect sports outdoors watch.
