Hope you all enjoy it!
@clickybezel Thank you for the video. I only started my watch journey and this is my 3rd watch - sort of like a workhorse for rough use complementing my CFB Manero and Grand Seiko GMT. Despite being at the budget end (by far) of my collection, I absolutely love the versatility and the look of it. I am looking forward to getting some different straps for this and your video was extremely helpful in throwing up ideas. Thanks again.
This was the 1st watch that i genuinely fell in love with. Was not really a watch guy before seeing it and it changed my mind. Its perfect in my opinion.
And here that and the rolex hulk....guess i have an affinity for green LOL
I had my eyes on the watch from last 6-7 months. On my birthday last month I bought the new iPhone 15 as I faced battery issues with older iPhone. So I decided not to buy the alpinist. I watched your video 30 mins back, and I’m writing this after ordering the alpinist. thanks haha.. 🙌
Dude! This is the must-watch video for any YT content creator out there. I'm not an Alpinist fan, but this video is so well made I watched the entire video (not that it's overly long, given the work that must have gone into pre-production). Bravo!
Thanks so much! This comment means a lot to me! Only a fraction of viewers, such as yourself, understand the work it takes to produce a video. Cheers! 🍻
I absolutely love this watch. Thanks for another great video!
One of Seiko’s greats. Thanks for stopping by ✌️
LOVE THOSE GREEN DIALS!!!
The SPB197J1 (blue dial) is my only watch. Absolutely love it.
I love the video format.
I’m still wearing from my collection a blue face seiko diver my dad bought me in 1970, still runs flawlessly. One of my favorite
Well said! The limited blue alpinist was my first automatic watch and what got me into this hobby
Respect for condensed version!
I just got mines today and fell in love with it.
I just recieved this watch today. Totally in love with this❤️
this is my first watch as well, existence of this watch just make me happy
Always a pleasure when you have a new video
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the content!
Absolutely killer on that strap
@clickybezel great video. Where did you get the green nato strap? Love the combination.
I love this with both a green and white dial:)
Thank you for another nice video!
Glad you like them!
Have the newer SPb211 and it’s absolutely wonderful! Regulated myself to COSC level accuracy!
Got the brown dial (SPB209J1) one myself and love it. Boy, glad I bought it when I did cause they went up in price A LOT.
What strap is that? Looks great and want to get for my alpinist
A very beautiful watch
The Seiko watch has got to be one of my favorite brands of watches out there. I particularly love the Alpinist !!!! ❤️💯❤️💯🙃
Fire video man ! Do you have the link to the strap ?
What's the name/brand of the strap you have in the video? Would love to get it myself
What's the name/brand of the hat you have in the video? Would love to get it myself
In another comment he mentioned CNS Bands vintage NATO
What is the name of the jacket looks cool
This watch looks dope. Classic color combo
Reminds of a nice car that’s still analog and raw but clean
It's not 38mm in diameter but 39mm
Oddly this is a very versatile watch that does a great job dressing up on a leather strap. It also has a ton of character with the green and gold aesthetics. The case design of the Alpinist is full of curves and sits beautifully on the wrist. The prospex logo on the redesigned models ruin the charm and the original is definitely the version to get if you can hunt one down.
Love the alpinist! Perfect size and aesthetics for my tastes. I just can’t love giant diving watches. Now to prove I’m an outsider, I just bought a prospex alpinist black series night. 😊
What strap is being used in the video? Looks amazing on the Alpinist
Proper gorgeous.
@ClickyBezel what is this first grey dial watch shown at 2:42 with the numbered 12 and 6 on the dial?
Love this! Was going to buy it for my birthday…am a bit worried about the size though. Is it huge?
You'll probably never see this, but no chance you have a link or can say where you got that green nato strap? Just ordered my alpanist last night
Wow, the Alpinist with the, I think nato strap, is unique, it gives the watch that uniqueness everyone is searching on a watch
I have one that's in storage after a move. Must get it out. Great video.
A watch that definitely deserves some wrist time. Thanks for watching!
Great video format. Also, where'd you get that ribbed NATO, looks awesome
Glad you liked it! CNS Bands!
Hey! Great video and awesome watch.
Which green nato is that?
Hi! It’s CNS Bands vintage NATO. Thanks for watching!
Does this come with this strap in the box? If not, where might I be able to buy this strap from please. The one I saw comes with a brown leather strap.
Thank you.
Link of the hydroflex strap please? nice review sir!
I oddly enough have been wearing a $60 FOSSIL with the exact stainless/green face and gold time marks. Its beat to crap and Ive worn it the last 3 years with no issue treating it like a disposable item. Amongst my nicest and most expensive watches I still wear it the most, because the colors are fantastic together and its actually incredible when the sun hits right. I used to think of it as a POS, but its long become one of my best pals and it sees everything I do. However, this Seiko would look stellar next to all my other ones! That cheap watch brought out something in me for green and its here to stay. This is one sexy chunk of metal no doubt.
Could you share the link for the strap you have used here? It looks amazing
Still no link? Interesting
I saw he mentioned CNS bands in another comment. Looks like on CNS watch bands website it’s probably “Ribbed strap Racing Green” in 20mm. Not sure, but that might be a starting place to look
Nice looking watch
Could you please share the link to the green strip? I can’t find this shade of green online. Most of them are army green. Thanks!
I have the black dial shark tooth...... I love it!!!😊
Prolly the only model in the current lineup i would buy.
great watch I like watches as it helps me tell the time
Where’d you get that nato strap from?good video.
Have both models. Loved 🥰 and enjoyed.
When in doubt, get both haha. I love it. Thanks for sharing!
I thinks it’s a beautiful timepiece. Only wish it was a 42-44mm. But that’s just my personal preference.
where can i find this strap :)
Fine vid. I put mine on an Oyster and it’s like a new piece. Bought mine in 2015/2016 on Amazon….$379.00 USD. Thanks!
Hi, what strap did you match with the Alpinist, and is this particular variation of the watch no longer made?
I also would like Grand Seiko to come up with its own distinctive take on a field watch.
Agreed! If they can pull it off well in comparison to their divers, they'll have my money haha. Thanks for watching!
My first SARB in the series and it’s a keeper.
This is the way
Really beautifull
What's that green nato strap?
Hello, really like the green nato strap you have on there. Where can I find it online?
Did you figure out what strap it is? It looks like a Zulu nato strap. At least that’s what comes up when you type vintage green nato strap.
He mentioned in another comment CNS Bands vintage NATO.
I love my Alpinist.
What is the use of a rotating bezel for a compass?
Very very cool that u still interact with viewers on vids from a few months ago. Madd respects! Also i loveeee this watch. The alpinist was the first watch that made me fall in love with watches.
Of course! I love to hear what everyone’s thoughts are on a particular topic. The Alpinist was also one of my first watch love affairs haha.
@ClickyBezel much love from toronto! Love the content keep up the great work! Always nice to sit back relax and escape with some of ur vids and the other amazing creators as well!
I got the black dial, beautiful piece but wish i went with the green.
Is this the army green nato strap or rich green one? Thanks
Beautiful ❤
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
Got the black "sharktooth" version of the SPB117! ❤
Although am a bit torn between it and this green-gold combo.
Especially with that dark green nato! Where is it from?
CNS Bands!
Got the shark tooth as well. Would gladly sell it. I think $750 is massively overpriced for what you get out of it
I also have this model, but the green dial really calls out to me.
I like the strap you have on yours. Where did you get it?
I love my 017… But it did take a while… Once I put it on a jubilee strap code bracelet with fitted end links it became my favorite… But it is 39 mm and I think it wears like a 40 mm… it’s definitely a marmite watch and you either love it or hate it
The true call on any watch is does it start a conversation, are people noticing your watch, and then begins the conversation, SPB121 is that watch😎
ok this might be a dumb question but i have an alpinist gmt, and overnight i lose like 6 hours of time.. maybe im missing the 3 day reserve concept but is this normal? IE. this morning after taking it off last night was off 3 hours showing 3am instead of 6am.... is this worth reporting to warranty or am i just overthinking this.
Totally love mine .. so classy!!
Nice looking watch.
I agree, one of Seiko's best! Thanks for watching!
I've had this watch for 11 years now, very solid daily watch, swaped the leather starp with a two tone 316l jubilee, got plenty of complements..
That sounds great, the Gold in the Bracelet would blend with the gold indecies etc. Jubilee bracelets are my favourite anyway.
Love the watch, just make it bigger please Seiko…😢
I wish there are more deep blue dials out there.
I love to see seiko come up with a method of adjusting the compass bezel from the one crown.
whats that green nato strap?
I watch this wearing my SARB017 I bought 7 years ago :) It only leaves my wrist at the gym.
just Subbed. I have this exact watch !!!!
Tastes are always debatable. Even with solid arguments
I need a green watch. This is green. I'm getting it, laddie-kun.
Which watch is in the picture at 01:43 ?
love the look, love the style, and was willing to save up for months to get this until I found the Citizen BM8180-03E. A watch 7 times cheaper, better time keeping, and other than the Sapphire crystal case that the Seiko has, I guarantee that it has the potential to outlive it's massively more expensive competitor. Does it look better? Probably, but I'm not willing to pay that much more money for looks alone.
how does the compass work?
What is the exact band you have on it? Looks amazing with that band.
Hey bud thank you for the video. I found a dealer in China who’s selling an unused brand new SEIKO sarb017 with package and warranty at a price of 4000 RMB, which is around 555 USD. Is this a good buy?
@clickybezel what is the green strap from the video?
Vintage Nato from CNS Bands!
How can we collaborate with you to shoot a watch video?
Selling off part of my watch collection… Most of it actually… My 017 is in extremely good condition… It’s on a very nice strap code, jubilee, aftermarket bracelet with milled clasp/fitted end links… box tags all that stuff… 500 let me know
Take PayPal? Lol
I love this watch but i can't seem to find this exact model, with the same strap, on sale anywhere. Could someone lead me in the right direction?
This model watch is easy to find. But the green strap is separate, and for some reason he isn’t answering anyone who asks about it.
@@JulienDolan Thanks for your response! Yeah after a bit of digging I came to the conclusion that the watch he's wearing isn't the original execution of the watch. Already ordered the watch and a few different-color straps!
i have an unworn sarb017, do you hppen to know what they are selling for?
Hi wud you be willing to sell it please. 😊
Great video. Thanks. I just needed the first 14 seconds for satisfaction.
Haha thanks a lot!
Please link the NATO strap.
This watch is beautiful 😍
You really can’t go wrong with the Alpinist. Thanks for watching!
At the risk of sounding like a sponsored comment... Dude I've bought 2 king seikos on buyee this month. Way cheaper than what they trade for stateside!
Glad to see watch enthusiasts using Buyee 😊. Hope your King Seiko’s are a pleasure to wear!
Beautiful watch, but the accuracy of the Seiko mechanical watches really sucks ! + - 15 seconds per day ? What the hell ! we are in the 21st century !
Their 6r movement supposedly compete with swiss movement 2824-2, while also the swiss got better accuracy, for me, for value chinese watch offer better value imo, for budget and mid i avoid seiko, unless you want a specific one then go for it. Nowadays imo most value either diy, microbrand or chinese watches.
To give you a better understanding, the seiko 5 sports, samurai etc which runs on the 4r36 is said by seiko to be around -35/+45 spd
My watch in particular which runs on the same movement is around -2/+2 spd
I would imagine the 6r movement might be much more accurate. Although, you can easily send your watch to get it regulated to a rolex type accuracy!
Cheers my bruv 🥂
Mine runs 5 minutes slow per day. Do not recommend it.
If you want perfect accuracy buy a $20 Casio or use your phone
where can i get that vintage nato nylon strap?
CNS Bands!
I have this one too, but I wear it only rarely because 39mm is actually too small.
The factory strap is actually nicer than people give it credit. I’m wondering if it’s because people toss it before it’s broken in. Mine broke in and imo it’s very nice
how about spb117?
