Another incoming thread - Alpinist SARB017!

Picked these up tonight. I have pretty much forgotten that I haven't collected the Alpinist from a friend who traveled to Osaka a month before I did. During his travels, he shared some pics of random finds in random stores and I knew I had to jump on the SARB017.

Sunburst green dial, sapphire crystal, and 38mm case (which is a bit small for me), but I kinda love it. I think. What's not to like, right??



Oops - posted this in the wrong thread! Mods, can you please move this to Seiko sub-forum!

Nice watch and can scratch the "green" itch, affordably. Wear in good health!

Nice! The stock strap is stiff but can be broken in with enough patience and resilience. Wear it well!
