On this episode we take another look at the Seiko Alpinist and share what I think might just be the best bracelet option for the money. The 20mm Parnis Jubilee can be found readily available on eBay for only around $38 USD, yes just under forty bucks! Sure it's not perfect by any means but at the price point, it's really hard to be critical of any aspect in it's construction or fitment. I will add that you might want to use thinner spring bars to give yourself a bit of room to play when installing but once it's on, you might not want to ever take it off. At least that's how I ended up feeling, let me know what you all think in the comments below, thanks guys!

You should do a "will it fit?" series. Learning a lot of bracelets can fit the alpinist was awesome

It is easy to remove the Parnis engraving from the clasp with a slack belt grinder. If you don't have one you can do it with about half an hour, and 3 or 4 sandpaper grits starting at 40

Found this video late. I got an SPB119 with this bracelet from an auction. It surprised me and I'm very impressed. I thought it was going to be a throwaway bracelet (because Parnis), and I was waiting for my uncle seiko president bracelet. I get the Uncle seiko bracelet and it feels of similar quality at double the price. In fact the clasp on the parnis is better, and it includes screw down pins. I ended up using the parnis and put the President bracelet on my SPB121. That one originally had a two tone strapcode oyster bracelet, which may go back on at some point.

It's just O.K. Parnis quality is not the same as the watch and I have to take out all the lugs and diver extension to fit my 6.75 inch wrist. It works but, not sure how long it will last. You get what you pay for but, if your wrist is a little larger you might be happier with it. That said, it does go nicely with the watch.

A lot of folks mentioning the Strapcode bracelets in comparison. I agree with Avg Bro that they are too stout for the Alpinist - too thick, too heavy, sort of overpowering it. The other issue I have with my smaller 6.5" wrist that the Bro probably doesn't notice with a bigger wrist has to do the with end link on the Strapcode bracelets. The center part of the end links is "male" to it effectively extends the lug to lug distance. If you look at the OEM Alpinist bracelet, the end links are female so it works better for a smaller wrist. Not sure if there's a solution to this with one of the cheapo Parnis options or other generic ones but I'm looking!

GOOD NEWS, Seiko alpinist will make a comeback in January 2020 with an upgraded movement according to seiyajapan and its confirmed , It has been newly fitted with 6R35 movement. The power reserve has been upgraded to 70hr. *(The 6R15 movement had a 50hr power reserve.) It will keep the 20 ATM water resistance but will come with a see-through back. The green dial will remain pretty much the same. It was announced that a black and white contrasting dial will be offered as well.

Please note that if you have a wrist smaller than 6.4 inches this bracelet will NOT fit you. It fits me perfectly when I remove every removable link.

Yes, you're missing that fitment is measured at the lugs, not the case. The verbiage is there because it's meant to fit 40mm Parnis watches, which a Seiko Alpinist is not.

Bracelet is too large; moreover, only a few links can be removed so it cannot be sized down far enough, as described by another poster here. Therefore, it will be loose and flop around on a medium to slim wrist even after removing links and reducing clasp reach. Chinese junk. It is engraved Parnis but would Parnis make a bracelet so big that it can't be sized down to fit a common wrist size?
