Nice video. I really love this new alpinist. It's true that the X prospex logo is a little bit disturbing for some people but to me it's fine.. I understand that seiko want to clarify their range. But in another hand, alpinist watches should be classed as a real different range. Anyway, they're part of prospex line now znd they're absolutely gorgeous, I hope I can get one some day! 👍😁 Thanks for this presentation video!

@@MinuteMon hi thanks for the excellent video. You mention the legibility on the green dial. Is it bad enough to be significant? E.g. low light indoors - would it be difficult to see the dial? I prefer higher legibility but I like the green. Thanks!

I have the green version Seiko Alpinist with a rotatable compass dial. But the dial is wobbling and looks sloppy by turning. I don't like that, it's inaccurate. (Wiebelig in Dutch) But the watch looks beautiful ....

@resjon7981 4 жыл бұрын

Nice watches but it would be better if all three styles came with bracelets. Those leather strap styles can be obtained without much hassle but sourcing the original bracelet will not be so easy. I like the dial faces of the ones which come on the leather strap but would prefer them on the bracelet which is a pity as I would have purchased one.

@MinuteMon 4 жыл бұрын

That’s a great suggestion. The Alpinist look great on the bracelet. Also the black dial SPB117 bracelet would fit well on the other models.

The sharktooth isnt a new design. Black dial alpinists traditionally had sharktooth indices. The red alpinist version is the scvf005, the sarb alpinist version is the sarb015.

@daviddoss3906 3 жыл бұрын

I just picked one up today at an authorized seiko dealer and they knocked off $100 and i asked them if they would replace the crystal in my SNK809, they threw that in for free as part of the deal. but yes, cyclopes, quick release strap, 24 instead of 23 jewels 70hr power reserve, mirror polish finish aside from the top of the lugs being brushed, display caseback, and text/engravings on the dial/caseback/movement are the only difference from the older model. Mostly cosmetic, actual performance upgrades is the 24 jewels and extra 20 hour power reserve, cyclopes is actually pretty useful, but i may end up swapping the crystal out for a single domed crystal with green AR.
