Howard-
It’s a lot of money for sure, once again they’re really pushing the pricing. Even as a fanboi I think it’s a stretch. From the pics it looks like the additional cost is mostly in the case finishing and the bracelet, both of which certainly look like a big step up from the Alpinist, but it’s impossible to tell by how much without seeing it in the metal.
For that money I would expect a vastly better clasp than they usually do, but I’d be surprised if that was the case.

New 6R-based King Seikos look alright, 37mm, five different colours, a case with actual sharp edges, bit thick compared to the really nice reissue they did last year (?) though.
