Well its finally here. All in I paid $1k incldufing the strapcode. Just love it!!!

Love the watch i would pay $2k for this watch...but i didnt. Like most seiko great value...punches way above weight class.

The strapcode oyster is great. The clasp could be better but its $100 all in all solid constructions. The little screws are weird tho.

Love it.

Looks nice. Enjoy it!

mpcdude · 2 April 2019, 11:26 AM

Same here. Have it on the Strapcode and the watch instantly feels like a more premium and expensive watch. Love it.

It's a beauty man. Congrats! Love the Alpinist, green or blue.

Congrats

Pw92676 · 2 April 2019, 12:43 PM

Looks very sharp. Well done.

JayHantz · 2 April 2019, 12:53 PM

Congratulations, Ninja! Looks awesome on you.

Fat_ninja · 2 April 2019, 07:29 PM

Thanks guys. Cant wait to see the sunburst in the sun. At home it was darker and more mate blue

1William · 2 April 2019, 08:32 PM

Congratulations.

Mirus Watches · 2 April 2019, 10:09 PM

I managed to pick one of these up too! Great watches.

Personally, I like the stock strap it comes with and find it to be a vast improvement over the brown alligator grain strap included on the green models. Still on the fence whether I want to put it on a bracelet or not, but I feel like this watch would look grear with just about anything you throw on it.

Anyway, congrats and wear it in good health!

Looks lovely.You need the green one to go with it now!

SpeakWithMichael · 3 April 2019, 08:01 AM

If you put fabric softener on it, will the band stretch?

Fat_ninja · 3 April 2019, 09:11 AM

No silly, the original strap was leather lol

Super cool watch. Nice pick up!

Fat_ninja · 6 April 2019, 10:52 AM

So the reviews of the Alpinist have 1 flaw. And that is the 4 oclock crown gets moved around and the compass doesnt line up.

Ive had it all week and the compass North market has not moved at all. Just want to let people know.

marselluswallace · 7 April 2019, 03:47 AM

Mine moves to be fair but I don’t really notice it as I don’t use the compass and it doesn’t spoil my love for the watch.My more expensive watches don’t get wore at all these days-just the Alpinists!

Burr · 8 April 2019, 03:12 PM

Those hands.. are simply stunning

Pongster · 9 April 2019, 09:21 PM

Would it work with oyster PCLs?

Yes it would. If you google insta stalker and search for #seikoalpinist. You should find one with a pcl there

Pongster · 10 April 2019, 02:44 PM

Thanks. Am thinking the bezel is shiny and would match the PCLs.

Waiting for my alpinist.

Txkill · 12 April 2019, 10:47 AM
