SBEJ005

Good seller!!

好きな人にはハマる ダイバーズ以外のスポーツウオッチを探していると50万超えの高級時計になってしまうのでとても買えない 特にセイコーファンではないが気がつくと スモウ オレンジモンスター ブラックモンスター アルピニストと増えてきている ブーツと一緒でレッドウィングファンではないと思っていたがブーツの中で一番多く所有している 比較的買いやすい値段で所有感を満たしたい人にはおすすめ出来る感じだ。

やや小ぶりなケースにこざっぱりしたフェースで良い感じ。 ケースは42mmくらいの大きさでも存在感が増すのでかっこいいカモ！(ないものねだり) 革ベルトは腕に馴染むまで違和感半端ない。 ベルトのつけ替えのはやや難易度が高い。 バネ棒外しを挿し込む隙間がないのでケースに傷を付ける恐怖心が大きい。

商品は予定通り到着したが、精密機器なのに段ボールの中に時計の箱が入っているだけで衝撃緩衝材が全く入っていなかった（箱を振るとガサガサ音がしていた）

デザイン ？ 評価は様々有りますが、好みの問題ですネ(私は勿論大満足）。精度等はこれからですが… 個体差もあることですし、癖を掴んで 嬉しみます。

It’s a nice green and a GMT with a better than regular Seiko movement. Not a beautiful watch but like not boring. The only this that annoys me is some plastic cogs inside. Materials blah blah. Automatic is an outdated concept. If you like plastic buy a digital watch. Mechanical should be metal gears and cogs even for the bezel ring.

As far as I know, this item is only available from Japan. Hello Japan was an excellent company and I will definitely purchase from them again. The watch was exactly as ordered and their customer service was outstanding.

Good price,, shipped fast. Would buy again from this seller.

Sure. As the great James McMillan III would doubtless say, "the PRICE is too darn HIGH"! Also, it doesn't actually say "Alpinist" on it anywhere. Further nitpicks might include observing that the exhibition back unnecessarily adds a millimeter to its depth, and the compass feature implementation is impractical and gimmicky. All that said, in its' iconic Japanese domestic market-only "midori" (green), this watch is as beautiful, classy, and practical as a simple mechanical tool watch can be. Beyond the GMT feature, date window placement, numbering differences, and lack of cyclops, a few features that are less obvious in pictures are the *domed* sapphire crystal (vs flat for the non-GMT versions), and the "diamond shield" hardening on the stainless-steel case to reduce scratching. Valuable upgrades that make it look good and will keep it looking good longer. Watch band compatibility with Uncle Seiko and Miltat bands intended for the SARB017 is confirmed. UPDATE: Two weeks later, I received a $30 invoice to pay for $18 bucks worth of US Customs tax, and the rest was pure price-gouging rent-seeking piracy on the part of FedEx!
