Getting kind of tempted by a Seiko SARB017 Alpinist.

Loving the sunburst green dial and the compass function. Not that I'd probably ever need it for when I do go up in the mountains as I have a map/compass and two GPS units anyway.

Just a pity that the standard strap is a bit shit.

I was just looking at these too. Were they Japan only? There are hints that a new version is coming in Jan.

I wondered if the ‘refurbs’ on eBay were legit; a new in box just went for £400 auction.

Yeah, apparently only Japanese domestic market.

The sellers with the cheap ones seem to good to be true. Which in eBay terms means they are a knockoff.
