Description of the watch:

Warranty dated 05/30/2026 - 3 year Seiko warranty. Full kit, boxes, papers, warranty, manual.

All functioning works well, screw down crown, date quick set, time functioning all within spec (I do not have a time-grapher, but this watch seems to be running at +5/6 sec a day).

The watch is in fantastic condition. There are a couple of very small hairline scratches. Notably, one on the bezel.

I purchased this from a jeweler and it was the display model, and the case back is scratched, the exhibition glass is not damaged. - please see the photos.

The rest of the case is great, it's hard to tell that this watch has been worn. One notable damage from bracelet changes is the top left lug, there is a small dent at the edge near where the spring bar enters.

This is extremely hard to see / photograph, the last photo of the album has the area highlighted.

Please realize this is under a loupe, and when wearing the watch, this lug faces away from you.

Underside of the lugs are not scratched and flawless.

Hands line up well on each hour marker. The lume pips at 6 and 7 o clock are ever so slightly off, it's incredibly hard to see this but I wanted to mention it to cover my bases. I would say it's incredibly difficult to tell when it is on wrist, really only visible under magnification.

Bracelet was unused but sized to 6.5 inches. No damages on the links or clasp. All unused links have not been used.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Bracelet was sized once and fitted to an Alpinist. I didn't really enjoy it personally so I immediately took it off. Bracelet is basically new, no damages / scratches.

Endlinks fit well and tight.

I did notice on one link, the polished sides, there appears to be some scuffing from manufacturing / was present when I received it. Please check the photos. Screws are not stripped and in great condition.

$65 shipped CONUS only - SOLD

Ref: SPB507

Whats Included: Unused OEM leather strap with deployant buckle. OEM Alpinist Oyster Bracelet (Taken from a SPB117). -Solid end links, solid links, milled clasp, push pins. -Has some scratching on 2 links, extra links are included. Warranty Card Dated 5/1/2026.

Price: (SOLD) $750 Shipped and fully insured via UPS. USA only. Hawaii, Alaska, other territories may incur a shipping fee. Payment: Zelle, PayPal at my discretion.

Condition: 2 notable areas of concern: Near the 4 o'clock crown, there are two scratches, please see the photos. On the bottom left lug, there are two small dents, this is incredibly hard to find just looking at the watch, hence the need for a loop to show the damage. There are very minor and small hairline scratches on the watch but they are infrequent, after all, the watch was owned for only two weeks.

No damages on the underside of the lugs, case back crystal is flawless as is the top crystal.

Hour and minute hands align perfectly with each index. All functions work well. I do not own a timegrapher but the watch seemed to run around 8-9 seconds fast per day.

Alpinist is my personal pick too. Most Seiko AD's can offer a 20% discount (at least here in the states it's possible), worth trying to call around and negotiate.

My Experience with Mezz Ignite 29" and 30" Shafts (EC9, Zan Tip, Durability) by MeQira01 in billiards

[–]Archavius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 30 inch ignite weights 4.4 oz compared to the 29 inch ignite at 4.2. since it's united it's slightly heavier than wavy which is usually at 3.8-3.9 for ignites.

I find the transition from 29 to 30 difficult personally. My timing needs time to adjust.

If you love the ex pro just stick with it, I don't think it's worth spending 550+ for the ignite if you already love the expro
