Buy/Sell Recommendation: Seiko SARB017 Alpinist – BUY

I did a review on the Seiko SARB017 Alpinist a number of years ago. The read the full review, please click here: http://easternwatch.blogspot.com/2013/10/seiko-sarb017-alpinist-very-refined.html.

Below is a video of the watch on my wrist. After considering the positives and negatives of the watch, I recommend that this watch is a BUY. For more on the positives and negatives as well as my final thoughts, please refer to the information provided after this video.

Positive Takeaways	Negative Points
Formal dimensions, flexibility in any occasions  Water rating 200 meters Upper-end of Seiko's generic movement, 6R15 Internal moving bezel make for clean lines for the watch casing Favorite by the watch community	Compass information too small  Use of the cathedral hands appears mismatch

Final Thoughts

The brilliance of the radial green dial won me over. The size is just nice and the balance of the leather strap and casing makes it a watch suited for any occasions. The ability to withstand a water rating of 20 bars or 200 meter is impressive. If you do find one, buy it. You won't regret it.
