Mine is running -1 second a day!!! That’s fantastic! Almost as good as my Tudor Black Bay 58

Great review. I just ordered this watch tonight so am now watching videos until I can see it in person.

Helpful review. I also have a 6-inch wrist and this watch does look a bit bigger than I expected while the case diameter is the same as my sarb035. I totally agree with your point that the matte and darker green dial in addition to the removal of the compass really makes this watch cleaner, more versatile and just overall, better aesthetically. Quite a shame that it wears large.

Good to see you enjoying this model as much as I do. It was my third mechanical watch, and remains my favourite. I had to send it back to Seiko due to extremely erratic accuracy, but the replacement movement seems to have settled down to minus 10 seconds daily, which is very workable for me. The legibility at a glace is perfect, and I didn't require the compass bezel, so true Alpinist or not its just a great looking watch.

i wear this very watch on a 20cm wrist..and i still had to take a link out...also its just normal push pins, so easy to do

No half size links is crazy. I would hope one is included in the box. Likely not though.

Really torn between this dial version or that blue. Both are stunning

@GFWatch 3 жыл бұрын

Yup, the blue is stunning too. I went for this green as it reminds me of the popular green SARB017 Alpinist.

Nice video, nice watch. I have 5.5" small wrist and may I know how many links can it be removed? Thanks

@GFWatch 3 жыл бұрын

For my 6 inch wrist, there is still one more removable link. I think you can still wear it with a 5.5 inch wrist.

Will the bracelet fit on the regular Alpinists? I know it is same 20mm lug width but do they have case lug holes on the same place/alignment?

@GFWatch 3 жыл бұрын

Good question but I not sure as I don't have the SARB017. I'm curious to know too.

@MBheem 2 жыл бұрын

Loving that dial. Wondering if you have considered getting your hands on the seiko presage SPRF41, that has a similar yet different green dial? Would love to hear your thoughts on that piece.

@GFWatch 2 жыл бұрын

I haven't had a chance to try that but i tried a very similar SRPE45J1. The case has a simple high polished finish and i think it makes the watch look dressier on the overall. The dial is great though.

Nice video but this has been referred to as the seiko alpinist by seiko. Something many make the mistake of thinking is that seiko don’t refer to it as an alpinist. It’s on their website too. Enjoyable video nonetheless.

@GFWatch 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks but I can only see Seiko referring to this SPB155J1 as a model under their Prospex line up on the global website.

@josefsbeach 3 жыл бұрын

Was bout to comment the same thing. I've seen pictures of their 2020 catalogues with The Seiko Alpinist as the title. The resemblance also not only comes from the sarb017 green and gilt, but mainly from the 60s original Alpinist design. This model seems to be more inclined as a heritage piece which i wish they marketed as.

Hey GF. Have been researching with Infinity Wars (another frequent visitor of your channel) about the Oyster bracelet of the sarb033 and 035 vs this SPB155. I dont think they are the same. The Middle links of the Sarb033/35 bracelet is a little more square, whereas the ones on the SPB155 are a little more rectangular. Must prefer the oyster on the SPB155 (the one you got there). Am tempted to order the OEM bracelet from Fah Shing to put on my SPB157J1 (blue) though

@GFWatch 3 жыл бұрын

Yup, I mentioned that they are not the same. Well, you can order the bracelet but I heard that it's not cheap.

Desafortunadamente no, pero es divertido combinar diferentes correas, le da un aspecto diferente dependiendo del color y material.

Does the bracelet use pins and collars like some Seikos or just a friction pin?

If I recall correctly, the links are just held by pins.

Prefer the sarb017 by far and completely disagree on almost every point you make vs the sarb alpinist. But hey different strokes

It's okay. Everyone has different tastes. Just sharing my opinion here.

@fendushi 3 жыл бұрын

I have both watches and much prefer this by far. The dial is much more legible and so striking. I can also understand why some SARB017 owners would not consider this watch because of the price. I actually prefer the non applied indices. But once you see it in person and get a good deal, can't pass it up.
