Yep, very similar indeed! Saw it but thanks anyway personally I prefer the panda style over reverse panda. That being said, zero chance of getting a SZSJ005 anyway!
No bites. Perhaps I’d be better off enquiring on a dedicated seiko forum? Any recommendations on which may be best to help?
Here are a couple of suggestions: https://www.thewatchsite.com/ https://wristsushi.proboards.com/ https://www.seiko7a38.com/apps/forums/
I really love the look and size of the alpanist. I’ve made some offers and bid on a couple but I am having 0 luck this far. Did they stop making the first model alpanist l? I see the prices climbing up on them
Isn't there an older Swiss watch brand named Alpinist? I also love the look and features of the Seiko Alpinist. The inner bezel and beautiful colors of the dials are great draws. I remember learning to use a watch as a compass when in the scouts but had long forgotten exactly how. it occurred to me that a mountain with significant deposits of magnetic iron ore could throw a regular compass needle way off. I once took a ride on a narrow gauge railway around "Iron Mountain" in Tennessee. My Timex electric wristwatch seized up and never ran again.
A friend of mine picked one of these up. The dial is way cool. Seiko must have a busy factory they seem to put out a new watch every week. I found the light honeycomb look on the dial to be very interesting. It also has a snowflake texture to it. I believe it’s limited to 6,000 pieces. I think with a dial like that I’d like it better without the open heart.
I see what your saying. I guess they want to make sure it’s on there as presage is quite hot at the moment. So I don’t like the open heart you don’t like the lettering I guess we should be happy that it’s a seiko without the day date.
Super nice line up you have here, mimics my own wishlist! Those 6105 and 6306 are super clean! Thanks for the share, Lou
