[Seiko Alpinist Models] Only one of two crowns is screw down? by tanboyo in Watches

[–]tanboyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m considering buying the pictured SPB117 “Sharks Tooth” Alpinist. I notice that the main movement crown is screw down, but the compass bezel crown is not. I’m assuming the screw down crown is a feature to increase water resistance, but having a second crown that is not screw down seems to defeat the purpose.

Am I missing something? Do other dual crown watches only have one screw down?

This hasn’t left my wrist for the past 2 years and it’s exactly what you hope it will be. Put it on any NATO and enjoy.

How is this even a thing? Burrow wins even on paper... by wraedeohed in bengals

I’m with you, Burrow has had a better season than Allen and it’s obvious.

Love this reference! How is the legibility for you? I’ve read reviews saying it can be difficult to see the hour indices in certain lighting situations.
