the green does it for me...its such a beautiful color and it's a great size. the cathedral hands also adds a nice touch

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

I admit the green is mesmerizing.

I bought this watch a couple weeks ago and am looking for strap options. The "leather" OEM is so ridiculously stiff especially toward the lugs that it causes the whole watch to stand up from my wrist or flop 90º to the side. Really like the watch. Can't help but thing it would be fabulous in a blue color as well, maybe with silver indexes. One gripe: no 12 o'clock marker for night viewing. Going to pick up one of these bands...

You have NO idea how much your video helped me to move my Alpinist to a new bracelet. Thank you! 🙏

@MountainRaven1960 4 года назад

The past few years have been a roller coaster. I survived two heart attacks and consequent CABGx3. This year is my 60th birthday, and my family gave me a SARB017 to celebrate my surviving the last two years to reach 60 years of age, not to mention major bushfires last month. Consequently, I am looking for a replacement strap to match the watch. As Jubilee means a celebration of an anniversary denoting the 25th, 40th, 50th, 60th, or 70th year etc., I am looking at getting a Jubilee watch bracelet for the SARB017. However, I need to wait until I get back to work before getting one. Thank you Mark for your wonderful reviews of these bracelets. It has helped me make an informed choice. Keep up the good work. Cheers. Mark E.

I think that people like this because it's kind of like the Rolex Explorer in that it can be used as either a sport or dress watch. It's also a good mix of vintage and modern styling. Adding all of that together could have resulted in a boring watch that ticks boxes, but the Alpinist is undeniably unique.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@mrjasonrowland 3 года назад

Agreed but I believe the Seiko is better looking than the Rolex.

@jk12324 6 лет назад

I saw this watch when I first started getting into the hobby and thought it was hideous, couldn't understand why anyone would like it. Now I own it and it's the watch that gets the most wrist time for me. Have it on the Strapcode Oyster from Monday to Thursday for work, then a Hirsch Liberty on Friday and through the weekend. The first watch I've truly fallen in love with.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Beauty! Weekly strap changes; the sign of a true fan.

@wakawaka1976 3 года назад

I got this watch due to being influenced by the watch videos praising it... wasn’t real impressed at first but it’s growing on me and is more loved than other watches I thought were great when I first got them. One problem I have is that it’s dressy and rugged so it discourages me from buying other watches as my Alpinist can cover it.

@aleksgonzalez2031 6 лет назад

This Angus Jubilee goes HARD! Its so stylish, yet comfortable. I bought mine a few weeks ago, and my Alpinist just goes great with this one.

Ok, the Alpinist is one of my fav watches of all times, i´ve never seen it with steel bracelets, both oyster and jubilee are a MUST!! Great video!!

@sharpsvilleBill 6 лет назад

After seeing this video I bought the Angus Jubilee for my Alpinist! I thought the price was too high until it came. The quality is superlative and worth every penny. The screw links have REAL screws with no friction pins under them like my Grand Seiko bracelet. I am thrilled with this bracelet and look to wear it proudly for years! Thanks for the video.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Wonderful bracelet and amazing technology.

@Lisa-vj6pz Год назад

Do you say it's not your favorite watch but you were definitely you know drooling over it you were definitely enjoying the watch and the more you work with it the more you become attached to it

@jmr7river401 6 лет назад

After watching this video I decided to immediately buy the Alpinist.Noticed that Marc was not into the watch at all, which I also agree with, not quite sure why people go crazy about this watch. .. But then there was a change of heart? Right after swapping the leather band with the jubilee, you could sense his enthusiasm about the upgraded new look. Logged into LIW website, lucked out it was in stock, bought the alpinist and the cocktail both at the same time. Immediately put on a Hadley Roma tan honey strap and the watch looks amazing. Will be getting the strapcode pretty soon. Thanks Marc for the videos, honesty and excellent service. Will be wearing this beauty at the LEroica vintage bicycle ride in Tuscany next week!

@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wm 5 лет назад

Mark, I know exactly where you’re coming from when you say it hasn’t struck a chord… I urge you to put it on the Angus Jubilee bracelet and wear it for three days… I tried a leather strap thing… Even a single pass NATO...And then I put it on the Angus Jubilee...At that point I fell in love with that watch… As a guy with way too many watches I have 20 divers...A bunch of other watches as well… This one just became a keeper… And I already know that I’m gonna buy another SARB now...Just an awesome watch....

@dann904 6 лет назад

Was not real enamored with the Alpinist - but since Seiko has discontinued them, and since Marc still had one at a good price, and since I'm getting the Angus Jubilee, it's starting to grow on me and it's only increasing in value!

To each his own. But for me this is a gorgeous and unique watch. Iconic even, in that there is no other like it. About the strap, people are right. It wears uncomfortable. Great video!

@russelllange2037 6 лет назад

I don't like my watch to be loose and move around, I like it to stay put without cutting off circulation. I've loved the watch but I haven't been able to get a nato or leather strap to fit just right. Also I don't know if it matters but I have a very small wrist at 6" even. No more. This Strapcode bracelet with it's 6 point micro adjustment gets a proper fit! This bracelet fits so well I really enjoy wearing the watch more.

@fendushi 6 лет назад

Marc, you make it look so easy putting that oyster bracelet on. Took me quite a few goes and many scratches later to put that thing on. I had trouble connecting both ends of the spring bars on both sides. One side would go in the hole and one wouldn't. I had to use the needle in a safety pin to bend and move the other end to the other hole.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Good editing!

@exploringhistory5796 6 лет назад

The Angus bracelet is really sharp! I removed the Seiko Oyster from my Alpinist because I felt it was too boring-now it’s on a green ZULU. May have to consider this Angus Jubilee 🤔.

@CoolCforlife 6 лет назад

Nice!! I have the Alpinist, and i have both those Strapcode bracelets too :) I love my Alpinist, so i definitely enjoyed watching this video lol

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Great! Which do you like better?

@CoolCforlife 6 лет назад

Angus jubilee is the winner for me! Super comfortable, and super nice! :) What about you?

@wakawaka1976 3 года назад

Do you happen to have this on a quick release bar? If you don’t, do you know if quick release bars will work on these bracelets?

@vampolascott36 5 лет назад

Such a classic Japanese watch! I got mine a few days ago and it's perfect for my small wrist. I love the retro styling and the face is very readable, even when I'm not wearing my glasses. I noticed the leather strap was very stiff and uncomfortable when I first tried it on. Since it's leather, I rolled the band in my fingers for a while to break it in. After a few days of wear, the band is perfectly comfortable and fits my wrist better than any metal band I've worn. I think the provided band is a perfect aesthetic fit for this watch, it's very classy. I've seen the watch with these modern oyster bands and I think they completely ruin the retro aesthetic of the Alpinist. It's not a modern style watch, why put a modern style bracelet on it. Totally incongruous vibe in my opinion.

@scrumpymanjack 4 года назад

House RN I agree fully with this comment. Only thing I would add is that I’d be tempted to change out the stock “faux alligator” band for a high-quality real alligator band of a lighter brown.

@Zotrax1946 3 года назад

It is impressive on a metal bracelet!!! Makes me want to buy a second Alpinist to have one with an oyster bracelet...

@reedgrabowski8314 6 лет назад

Marc, I have the Alpinist, and I think the all steel bracelets overpower the sunburst dial. If Strapcode decides to do a steel and gold-tone oyster bracelet for this watch, I would purchase in a heartbeat. Thanks for the great vid!

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@tw25rw 5 лет назад

Looks much better with the jubilee than the leather. Went from an old man's watch to something I would enjoy.

@stu7900 5 лет назад

I just got the Alpinist and these look like some great options. Thank you for such a helpful video!

@jlugomaster7835 6 лет назад

Great video as usual. I agree with you it is a great watch, and I can see why so many people love it, but it just doesn't do it for me; it might be the numbers, hands and the Seiko logo in gold. I think it would look better if they were silver (and a blue dial would make it even better, specially with those bracelets), but as you said; to each their own!

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Indeed.

@timemachineeddie1146 6 лет назад

I love Seiko however like you I think the SARB017 is Bone Ugly. The Strap Code Bracelets are awesome. The only Seiko Bracelet I really like is on the Monster. It would be great if Strap Code would copy it using a 5 mm Thickness links with an amazing clasp like the Angus.Great review and Thanks for sharing.

@robbiecox 6 лет назад

You would love it if it had a blue dial! I love mine in Green.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

@RondelayAOK 6 лет назад

Yeah. I just don't do green well. But love to see it in blue, matte sky blue perhaps.

@markabrielbenedicto9388 6 лет назад

it has a blue version. Seiko Alpinist SSASS. As far as I remembered, seiko only produced 500 pieces of these version. Which makes it so damn expensive

@josephmcdonald764 4 года назад

The Alpinist kind of grows on you. I didn't like it or her it at first, but it is getting to me. So much so that I am thinking about purchasing one. Availability it getting more difficult and with that the price is climbing. Having a hard time deciding between regular Alpinist and the White face good numerals limited edition version. There is a big price difference for some subtle differences. Hmmm ........still pondering.

@huss1205 6 лет назад

I bought the Alpinist here in Sweden 10 days ago, I paid just below $800 for it, buying it from the US means cheaper but they will add exports BS and something else so it will end up costing me the same. Man, this bracelet transformed it completely, it is a beautiful watch but the leather strap disappoints, this one is awesome...

Yes, I know it has been discontinued, but if, by any chance, you have a new consignment soon, I shall order one from you for delivery to a Long Island address, 40 minutes from where you are. I watch your videos regularly and want to give you my business if I can. Failing that, I shall order from Amazon where the watch is still available though at an understandably inflated price.

@khronokraze 6 лет назад

Great video. Strap Code has 2-tone jubilees for other models, so I'm sure at some point they will make one specifically end link fitted for the Alpinist.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

They sure will answer the mail on this one.

@khronokraze 6 лет назад

additionally, I really wish Seiko would consider more dial color variations for their Alpinist line. Why just green? I like the fact they used to have a white dial version which would be great to see again as a current model along side the green. .. even more colors, I would buy one if something other than green.. just not personally into green dials as much.

@arindambasu9850 6 лет назад

Hi Marc,I did pick up the Alpinist from you a few weeks back and almost simultaneously the super oyster directly from strapcode. The SO is really something else and is a great match for the Alpinist. Great video as always! Off topic: just beats me why the Mako USA is not allowed to be sold by LIW :(

@gregarends2731 5 лет назад

Feel the same way. It is a beautiful watch for so many reasons. I know all the hype of watch enthousiasts, like myself, around it. Just cannot bring myself around enough to finally buy it. Besides, I was looking for a jubilee bracelet for a project, the Angus will fit the bill.

@gregarends2731 5 лет назад

Btw Marc, does the bracelets, esp. the jubilee, taper down or not ?

Marc, another great video. Strapcode bracelets are beautiful. Even though I’m not an Alpinist fan either, if Strapcode came out with a two tone jubilee like they did with the SRP775, that would change my mind. Thanks, Mark

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Of course!

@outty77 6 лет назад

I know this sounds weird, but this watch looks beautiful on a tan NATO strap.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

I believe it. Tan (or sand color) goes with alot of off white dials.

@nickdellagrotta 6 лет назад

Another great video! I never understood the love for this watch until you broke down the compass bezel... And then you slapped it on that AMAZING jubilee bracelet. Now. I want one! Lol. Any idea if they'll make the jubilee for the sarb033?

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

They are making the oyster, not sure about jubilee.

@WalterDavidRiffmon 6 лет назад

I agree with many comments that the oyster is the way to go on this one. Regarding a blue dial version of this? I guess green is appropriate for a mountaineers Watch and blue is for a divers watch. That’s how I see it anyway.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Blue would be wonderful!

@GordonLF 6 лет назад

Great detailed video! IMO the original leather band is and looks cheap, but -although those metal bracelets are nice- this watch still looks the best on a dark brown leather strap. The solution would be to upgrade it to a good leather strap (some even are water resistant) if you're into wading rivers, paddling or something).

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Nice feedback, thank you.

@yogililly1 6 лет назад

If your a Green Bay Packer fan or need a watch for St Patty day, this has you covered. In effect a fancy infantry style watch with a compass feature. One day when decide to move away from quartz this SARB017 and the SARB065 are on my list along with Orient Bambino v3 in gray or v4 in blue. For those looking for a blue dial SARB, your wanting the SARB045, if can find one.

@MicLogan427 3 года назад

The specialness of this watch is the price point vs quality. 200m water resist, sapphire crystal, in-house automatic movement with hacking seconds and a date complication . When I purchased this watch in 2014 for $300 I knew it was a steal. There was nothing Seiko offered in the US with those specs for under $1500. Also anything Swiss would’ve garnred $3k+.......we are all in lockstep now.

I bought sarb033 and sarb017. 033 looks more "Serious" , business and elegant than 017. I would wear the alpinist watch on the outdoors and the 033 on indoors at a certain event.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

I think the 033 is just very versatile.

@Brascofarian 6 лет назад

I appreciate your honest opinions of the watch. I like it... it reminds me of the SARB033 in terms of size and shape, a very similar spec. It's a good spec and finish for the price, don't you think?

Absolutely. I own a SARB033.

Agree with the complaint about the watch strap...it could be a little better quality. But my biggest gripe--don't get me wrong I like this watch and wear it 4 days a week--is the dial for the compass moves too easily. If I were going on an alpine adventure, I would never take this watch because in reality, it's not really that practical. I do like it's heritage though.

Hi Mark... Thanks for all of the awesome "how to" videos as I am still playing catch to watch them all. I even have solved the formulas being displayed in your clock. Well, except for one that has X and x2. Don't remember those... Getting back to the story - these two bracelets really make this watch "pop" and what a difference they make. I have a similar situation with a Citizen Eco-Drive AT0810-12E and it came with a leather strap and for years I would like to upgrade the watch so something else. I think the watch has a 21 or 22 mm lug, but you might figure out what size and provide a recommendation. It would be nice if any of these two bracelet model might fit my watch. I'd like to buy you. Please let me know. Thank you.

I like the jubilee bracelet, but the endlinks are not proportional to the links, so it not look right. I do not notice this on my SKX009 with jubilee bracelet, so it must be the lug to lug measurement on the Alpinist that throughs it off.

@barrettwbenton 6 лет назад

I'm on track for getting an Alpinist, and while I (mostly) agree about the relative meh-ness of the stock strap, I'm a bit more partial to simply replacing it with a better strap rather than a bracelet (likely because *all* my other Seikos are on bracelets). That said, the Strapcodes are indeed beautiful, and look damned solid. I will disagree with one thing - IMO, a two-tone Jubilee strikes me as just a tad blingy - just like the Other Famous Brand Strapcode borrows from stylistically. Regardless, I'll be hitting you guys up with an order for an Alpinist before too long. :-)

I still want to try and see one :)

UPDATE: Firstly, received my Alpinist from you on Wednesday (a day early!), and, like the kids say, the hype is real - this is going to be my last serious watch buy for some time, so a lot was riding on it, and I couldn't be happier. (Thanks!) One interesting thing: while the stock strap certainly doesn't blow my socks off, once I did a bit of, ahem, *accelerated* breaking-in, I find it not so bad, either to the eye or wrist; while I'll likely still order a strap (or three) from you before too long, I'm tempted to just throw a deployant buckle on this strap and see how it works. It'll just come down to deciding which one to order from you...two of them are looking quite intriguing.
