This Seiko Alpinist sarb 017 is very well made for its price. I bought it in November 2019 on Amazon for 500 euros. A perfect size of 38 millimeters rare in 2019 where watches are too big for my taste. All Seiko fans said to acquire this watch as soon as possible before it is no longer marketed by watch sales sites. This Seiko Alpinist comes straight from Japan and was not marketed in Europe, hence the obligatory passage to buy it, to go through an international online platform. The watch has a very nice finish for its price, a sapphire crystal and a steel case back and not transparent. Which gives it a vintage and high-end side. One could think of a much more expensive watch .... what made me crack in addition to its size of 38 millimeters is also and above all its green dial which changes in the sun from electric green color to a matte olive glass. The reflections of the sun make it unique and very desirable. It is a watch that is not often found on people's wrists. Two other super pleasant style details are the second small crown for the compass and its hour crown which is screwed for a water resistance of 200 meters. Even if I never put it in water it is reassuring. In addition the hour crown is engraved with a small S of Seiko. The gold indexes blend perfectly with the green of the dial. It has a classy and sporty side, which makes the watch very versatile and timeless. Its automatic movement keeps the time perfectly and it is like any good Seiko very reliable and inexpensive if you have to have it serviced or replaced. A watch to have for a man or a woman without hesitation so go for it!!
