Green Dial: https://watchdirect.com.au/products/seiko-prospex-alpinist-s…

I've compared it to my SARB017 and it's pretty close, just ditch the cyclops. The black one is interesting and different in it's own way but it's no SBCJ019

  but it's no SBCJ019

  Not much is, tbh.

  Let's see if Starbuy is watching. They've done sub-$700 on this Alpinist before.

  Anyway, having seen it, the Glacier Blue SPB197J1 is the one I want now.

    SPB197J1 is nice, but I'm not paying secondary prices

    (I keep f'ing replying to the main thread)

      And the SPB355J, although that one is $$

        I expected the dial to be 'rockier'

    Last year on black friday I asked for some discount on Starbuy for spb121j but they said they can't go below $800. I had to buy from watch direct after that.

        It is at the moment but last year it wasn't going below $800. I bought it on May from watch direct sub $800 with discount and cash back.

      Not solar and don't like the same triangle indicies at 6, 9 & 12. Moans and niggles lol

  I just checked OP's link, watch direct have it at $849 now not $764. Black dial in the thumbnail is same price. So the Starbuy price is currently better $795.

  Great watch, I have a white dial gifted from my wife and wares all the time

  G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 11:32

  Wonder what the lume is like. 200m wr is nice.
  That cyclops would have to come off

  Does the pressure valve give any indication that it has been activated?

  • 

    G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 11:43

    That can go too lol .

    Need to find a good gada and stop buying all these $200-500 watches

    • 

      tonyjzx on 07/12/2023 - 11:57

      this is not an Omega

      its not a helium valve - it changes the compass ring on the inter dial track… its an essentially useless feature

      i like this watch

      tempted to buy? anyone under $700?

      • 

        G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 12:04

        Yeah someone said pressure release valve lol
        Turns the bezel. I wouldn't use it, a GMT would be more useful, even then I prefer diver's.

          tonyjzx on 07/12/2023 - 12:07

          @G-rig: GMT is useless too

          you can just use your smartphone

          ie. "tell me the time in abu dhabi"

          this feature is just shit to play with when you're in the line at the RTA…

            @tonyjzx: Yeah I'm not into them
            Just a traditionally thing and the movement's aren't as good.

            I mean it's nice to have a good ⌚ or 10, they are useful and saves getting your phone out of pocket all the time, people are addicted to them these days. Watches are still bordering on jewellery though, but I like the tradition.

  Been waiting for the green dial to come down for awhile. Would have grabbed this last week before I spent all my cash.

  • 

    G-rig on 07/12/2023 - 11:55

    Just return some shit. I end up sending or selling half the internet orders..

  tonyjzx on 07/12/2023 - 13:25

  btw. green dial should be cheaper given its a leather strap but saying that those Seiko steel bracelets are cheap and rattly

  • 

    henno on 07/12/2023 - 16:33

    I prefer the leather strap at this price point. The bracelets are junk and deserve to me immediately replaced with something from Strapcode or Uncle Seiko.

  Jody just did a video on the GMT version of this yesterday.
