0 I like that signs bezel, it is not in the way and thus an added feature. Also I like the three layers of bezel: signs, compass, dive...

0 Was about to sell my Alpinist that I bought a month ago for a SARB035, but while taking these pics for eBay, I backed up and fell in love all over again with it, and going to keep it..for my wardrobe the 035 it's too dressy and a bit boring.. I'm keeping my 017 it's such a unique piece, that green shade its mesmerizing, and I got a good deal for it...

0 Hey guys, new member here... let me start off with my Alpinist. It has been a faithful part of my rotation for over 3 years now. It went from being the one of my smallest and most expensive watch, to the largest and most affordable in my core collection. I have to say after all this time I still love it!
Lately I've been favoring "one watch" over a rotation. I went all spring wearing my mid-sized Omega Bond SMP and was surprised at how accurate it was ending up within seconds at the end of September without once pulling the crown to make an adjustment. I figured my Alpinist would be a good Fall watch so I wound it up and strapped it on October 1st. I have to say after 28 days I am impressed with the accuracy(+2 sec) and overall quality with my old SARB017. Having had an active rotation for the past few years I never really focused on accuracy, but the spring with my SMP made me realize both how accurate a mechanical watch could be and how nice it was to have a faithful daily wearer. I began to notice the positional variances of the watch and use them to keep the watch accurate to within a few seconds around the clock. When I decided to switch to the Seiko I figured that that kind of accuracy was unlikely and I was also a bit worried I would miss the Omega quality I had become so accustomed to. I'm happy to say I was mistaken. The 6R15 is running great, after the first few days it was running a bit fast so I started resting it crown up at night and it has been dead on since. After 28 days of daily wear it is at +2 seconds. It has been a constant reminder of what drew me to this watch in the first place, I still get lost in the awesome green sunburst dial. The case quality really stands up to my Omega, it definitely doesn't feel like a compromise. The SARB017 is an amazing value of a watch and could easily be someone's "one watch", I look forward finishing up 2018 with my trusty old Alpinist at hand. |
