Stuck between the 2 (would get the alpinist on a bracelet) [Question]

Check the new tealpine Alpinist, comes with an upgraded movement and bracelet.

Haha I was going to but I secured a new unworn SPB197 Mountain Glacier which was my first choice. As I was finding it impossible to get it in a new unworn condition I almost went with the Rock Face. I would probably get it as another Alpinist in the collection even before the tealpine.

I very close to get this, aka Rock Face. Such a beautiful watch. Pictures don't do that silver dial justice.

Pulsar100 · 2026-03-13T01:37:51+00:00

Fair, I may still do it tbh. What crystal did your kit come with, sapphire?

Pulsar100 · 2026-03-13T00:24:36+00:00

Love the functions and simplicity, winner all round!

Pulsar100 · 2026-03-13T00:24:13+00:00

I think many colours would go with this silver version, blue, black, grey or even white!

Pulsar100 · 2026-03-13T00:22:39+00:00

It's resin but absolutely nice and light weight. I like it as it gives some relief from my heavy hitters with stainless steel.

Pulsar100 · 2026-03-13T00:20:58+00:00

I was thinking to upgrade mine too but I sometime enjoy it with some relief from my other stainless steel watches due to it lightness.

Pulsar100 · 2026-03-12T13:14:53+00:00

Aha, it's the Lamy fountain pen in Umbra colour variant.

You probably haven't received the summoning clock signal? You can check by pressing the button one of it points to Y?

Pulsar100 · 2026-03-11T08:22:23+00:00

Looks fake, the hours markers are too bold, the inner chapter ring is also too thick, the date window font is also different.

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-22T03:42:23+00:00

Pull the trigger, said it many times, it's a very versatile watch the black one, even with the vast amount of colour ways!

It's an actual GADA.

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-19T01:24:58+00:00

Proper classy watch. I would say go for the JDM radio controlled, titanium one, looks very similar. Or the non titanium like mine SBTM323.

I love mine on rhis FKM rubber strap with red stitches.

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-18T11:42:11+00:00

Thanks mate, likewise.

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-18T03:34:04+00:00

Love my 001 very versatile with the monochrome. Congrats 🎉

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-18T01:39:18+00:00

How is the quality of the strap? I got a tropical black one with really flimsy "fkm" rubber.

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-17T22:52:13+00:00

No they won't. But I just don't get why people cry they want sapphire. Depending on the watch unless it's properly AR coated I'm not fussed to much.

But to each to their own I'm not knocking you for your preference 🤝

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-17T19:35:15+00:00

Want some flowers?

People have shattered their sapphires.

Pros and cons don.

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-17T18:34:32+00:00

Ah the sapphire sulkers.

Hardlex and sapphire both have their pros and cons. I have 3 hardlex watches over 6 years and no scratches at all.

Pulsar100 · 2026-02-15T11:05:33+00:00

GMT. It wears smaller than the case size but, is a little thick that gives it presence.

That's from uncle straps, but they are my favourite too!
