Didn't Mike (polly) pick one of these up recently?

Yes I had one imported from Japan via Creation Watches for my 50th.

Have an Seiko Alpinist GMT TITANIUM Perpetual Calender, model: SBCJ021
10 year battery

Had Jack redo the hands so that it was eaiser for me to read

Nice watch and feels great on wrist.

First shot is before.... (from web)
Second is after redo ..... sorry for crappy picture.

I should not have sold this one :'( - 8F56 Alpinist.

The getting-it-back idea is still haunting me from time to time. But it is so extremely difficult to find a good one at a "good" price nowaday.

Turns out we have a lot of love for the Alpinist :bravo_2:
Thanks for all your contributions - some great pics, and what seems to be whole-hearted approval on the titanium quartz model...
I struck the deal yesterday - will post pics when it arrives >

really beautiful watches wow how I do want one of those green ones. I do have just one question though. On what mountain will i need a watch with two hundred meters of water resistance?

Never stopped me buying an MM300 to take to the pool! )

Here's mine (currently off at the spa):

I know I'm in the minority here, but the modern Alpinists just don't do it for me. The hour hand just ain't right. However, I really like the old-school Alpinists!

Not the perpetual Alpinist, but likely a cousin in the Seiko lineup: the Landtrek from 2000, ti, perpetual, GMT. A few of us have them, and I have kept mine as the near perfect watch!

A swift arrival, and a quick pic:
I was not sure at first, on the titanium bracelet it just looked a bit too flash - but on a NATO - I am starting to really warm to the little fella!

A few more for completeness.

SBCJ019 - One of my favorites, but unfortunately both of mine aren't working right now :'(

First time I've seen a blue one :bravo_2:
Looks really nice :035: I take it that's a titanium model too...?

Now I need to find a NATO with titanium bits on it as the strap currently weighs more than the watch!

On another note, I think have found a nice SARB017 on the secondary market that's calling my name...
