I was doing some watch shopping online at some of the various sites we go to and found someone selling the regular sarb017 (I think that’s the #’s for the standard green alpanist. Not a limited one just the green DC’d one. Now I have one and really like it. Put it on an uncle seiko BOR looks great although I’m hunting around for a nicer leather band as I think leather brings out the dial a little better. Anyway this one was on its original seiko strap (which I have to say I thought was horrible. Anyway the seller was asking 999 usd. It was the only one on the site (smaller place than eBay) now I think I payed 340 bucks for mine. I know they have creeped up in value a bit but I think it was last month I saw some around 500 bucks but they all included a new bracelet of better band. That was just a seller misjudging the market I’m guessing or are people actually paying a grand for these things. The quick searches I did on a couple other watch sites had none of the sarb 017 I forgot to check eBay which probably would have answered my question quicker than the time I spent writing this.
