    Yep, very similar indeed!
    Saw it but thanks anyway :thumbsup: 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?

    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

    I would suppose that with launch of prospex alpinists, the sarb017 already stopped production.

    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.

    This maybe just me. But i think better watch without “Presage” on dial.

    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
