I had been eyeing this one for quite awhile and finally went ahead and got it.






Seiko Alpinist SARB017








Japan only model delivered on a Sunday only 4 days from ordering







38mm w/out crown,sapphire (not sapphlex) crystal,water resistant to 200m,screw down crown,inner rotating compass bezel and powered by the Seiko in house 6R15 automatic movement







I really like the vintage/sport lookof this waych.
The green dial coupled with gold numerals and indices, on a brown leather strap are a great looking combo.

Thanks Much, KW. I guess info will be forthcoming if I watch enough posts (or just keep asking)

Cheers
Not much to this mystery :wink:. Just Google either "higuchi" or "seiya" along with the world "watch". Both of these individuals provide the essential service of sourcing japanese watches for the rest of the world. Both are also purportedly highly reliable and have sterling reputations :thumbup:.

Unfortunately, both are NOT WTF sponsors, so no direct linking. Maybe when I get my new goody from one of them, I'll ask them why they aren't. Possibly, they prefer to be under the radar? If so I'll shut up now so I don't out them any more.
Go 4 posts up; I corrected myself! :blushing:

H = Higuchi (Katsu)

K = K-seiya (Seiya Kobayashi)

Shall we add W? :D

W = Wayne (Dr. Wayne Lee) :thumbup:
Everyone should also note that, although it's a very slow start, our Sponsor Discount Watch Store
is just beginning to get hold of a few of these Orient Star "Japan Domestic" models. :thumbup1:

Thanks everyone - a day without learning is a day wasted. :)
