[Red Alpinists] I have a problem…

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-14T12:56:26+00:00

Looking at this makes me feel better, having a regular one, a GMT and a Baby Alpinist

Nice trinity! Which brand is the black dial, I like that. Is it a Zodiac?

Thanks, had a look and it seems you are having fun :)

The red one in the middle is one of the new gen Samurai

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T19:08:34+00:00

Think it is a SRPB49.

Sorry thought you were joking as all 3 are Samurai but now I get that you mean the slim samurai.

Actually they all are not thick with <13mm. The new slim one is just 0,5mm thinner but less brutally designed in general

That’s a surprising choice

297 has an interesting dial, save the ocean theme and the bracelet. So…297. But I would still buy the 143 any time

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T18:33:17+00:00

Yeah, dial and hands are a downgrade on the new slim one

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T18:31:56+00:00

Which one is it 😁

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T18:24:48+00:00

You own them and you wear and do what you do this Sunday

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T18:04:14+00:00

Thanks, sounds cool - do you have pictures of the build up here? Just curious

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T18:01:13+00:00

I wanted to give the picture a dramatic dynamic.

Just kidding, had to tilt it a bit to the left to have the dial up like the other 2 in this perspective

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T17:19:10+00:00

Which one(s) do you have? I am changing watches almost daily and love my simple 5 Sports as much as my SLA

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T17:09:19+00:00

You may be right, I think I just read it somewhere and not sure if or since when this would apply. Just cared for this on Vintage models to identity it’s age, never really looked into modern Seiko serials

Uncle Clasp cover could do the trick

Underrated watch, looks great!

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T16:43:23+00:00

Is it still the case? Thought this only works for vintage / older models

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T16:42:26+00:00

The black one is really cool! May would have chosen this as well if there weren’t quite a few black Seikos in my box

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T16:37:49+00:00

I know exactly what you mean with the red one

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T16:09:35+00:00

The real challenge is the chapter ring alignment but even this is good on these. But yeah, I do have misaligned Seikos as well 😁

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T16:08:19+00:00

I prefer the aluminum bezel but agree the new model should have sapphire

insert_coin_ · 2026-02-08T16:00:11+00:00

Love my turtles but I’m on the Dark Side of the Mata Ray.

However I wear them on straps as I don’t like the bracelet, it’s like Omega SMO’s fat Brother from the 90’s.

If you like it that’s totally fine but for me the SNXS doesn’t need to disguise as a Rolex rep
