Really enjoy watching your channel! So in depth! I've always been into Swiss brands. I recently brought my first Seiko and I'm addicted! Its so affordable, yet good quality too! I already own 3 Seiko and I'm not planning to stop there!

Great job and thanks for bringing all three together.

Owned a white and black alpinist, but kept the green SARB017 - that color just outshined the rest of the pack! 👌

I'm loving the new colorways and variety but the original will likely always have my heart💚. Thank you for the comparison!

I have the new black Alpinist and it’s worth every penny.

Thanks for the video and comparison of the three Alpinists 👏👍

3 classics. Would go for the white myself.

The black one looks way better. I'm sold.

That two-piece Vario strap on the Green Alpinist just nails it! I own a SARB017 and just the bought the same exact strap ... guess what I'll be doing this afternoon. Good review!

I've owned the SARB017 for almost a year now and still have interest in the SPB117, even if there is so much overlap in use cases between the two. Mostly having trouble justifying the price, considering the overlap.

Love the new 2020 version they are already selling here for £900 here in UK as you cannot get hold of them

U synchronised the second hands.... Awesome

I was fortunate to get the blue recently at a good price.cI put it on the Ginnault bracelet and it looks great

I found Rolex’s sub bracelet will fit the Alpinist (I have the blue). Fits very nicely and I love the taper and adjustability of the glide lock.

Great review. Wish they did the black dial with the numerals as opposed to the "sharks teeth". Toss up between the old and new...

I have the previous generation green Apinist. If I was to buy another. I think I’d go blue if was possible . The Alpinist Is a controversial watch, many go from disdain to. Eh. I love mine. To each there own? I’ll stick with my older green. Cream non guilt is real nice as well. Not sure if I’d get it on bracelet. Never liked Seiko’s bracelet. Save the money at pos and get a strapcode later.

Thanks for the comparison! I am actually looking for a new Seiko watch and this is the one I'm also considering. I have a hard time choosing between the new SRPD97/99, (450$) the SARB033/035 (500$) or the new alpinist in black/cream dial (650$) - those are local prices in Germany btw. All of those above are really similar to each other. 38-39mm cases, black or white/cream dial, sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback and: all of them are strap monsters.. Which one would you recommend?

Really nice strap on the SARB017.

They should have a sculpted Mt. Fuji on the back. Like the wave but a mountain.

where diiiiiiiid you get that strap on the green , amaaaaaaaaaaziiiiing , i have the black and blue

They need to take that black dial one and make it in blue with the dial markers is has and without the arabic numerals and NOT make it a limited edition.

The black dia version looks lovely, but the new Alpinists are so expensive.

Cam someone link me to the strap he uses on the green 017, thanks

You picked the perfect strap for the 017. Oof

I have an 017 , and don’t like the bug eye on the new one, might look better live! Hope so.

All very beautiful Seikos but the green Alpinist just has that 'it's or 'x' factor that makes it special. The others seem to have gone more main stream. The green original reminds me of my skx007j1. Time will tell.....

Nice. But I can think of other watches I'd rather buy.

fuck, i saw the blue one on the hodinkee.com, when i clicked "Add to cart" it was gone :(

Hmmm. The SPB089 would be my favorite if it came with the bracelet that you have on it. ...but $1000 is too much for it.

ay wheres these baby alpinist leaks hes talking about though? i can't find anything about em online ...

I'm so sad I couldn't get the 017

How much you want for that blue Alpinist?

What about accuracy?

This is the success and the power of an individual who is rich to pay for a quality watch from (thirty-four jewels movement) the style of the watch is very unimportant but the mechanism occupies a major place in the industry. It means, buy a twenty three jewels watch, it means mr everyone at low wages from the 3rd class. and it's a shame, it's reality! Me, watchmaker and jeweler for over 77 years retired. S&W. This watch at the price it sells for, would need a movement with at least 30 jewels because of the high asking price!

you may have answered already , alvaro two piece

Love my old Sarb017, the new ones simply dont have that special something

Old is still best ...#

The added thickness completely ruins the new models. Also the 6r35 is nothing to stare at.

017 best ever

Prospex logo, see thru case back, unsigned crown, cyclops and added thickness.. No thanks ill keep my Sarb017.

Aside from the slightly improved movement, it seems like a downgrade in every way. They stripped out almost all of what made it interesting and charming. And it costs 2X what the Sarb017 cost when it was released. Seiko's lost their damn mind.
