“After stumbling across a Youtube video of the Alpinist, I really wanted one. I am normally not a fan of green dials, but something about this watch just grabbed me. When I finally purchased one, I couldn't have been happier. It is such a unique and attractive watch, and the photos on the site don't come close to doing it justice.
Like many others, I am not in Love with the strap. It looks nice enough, but is very stiff and doesn't seem to want to sit centered on my wrist. That's okay, because I didn't buy the watch for the strap and it is easily replaced. I ordered a Darlena strap for it, and it looks and feels even better. Sadly, Seiko discontinued this beauty, so if you want one, and can find it at a decent price, snap it up!
Finally, thanks to Marc for all his help and service.”
“Excellent service, looking for this future classic.Fair price, perfect condition. Purchased numerous products from LI watch. Keep the great products coming”
“was not sure about the Alpinist - I bought it since Seiko had decided to discontinue it and I didn't want to miss the chance to own it if later I decided that I wanted. the watch itself it very good lookin but I feel it may be a little small for my wrist, going to play with different bands on it and hope it grows on me. otherwise service from island watch has been great and I will be buying from in the future”
“The Seiko Alpinist Field Watch Model SARB017 looks great, especially with my new Strapcode Angus Jubilee Stainless Steel Watch Band! Couldn't be happier!”
“I was very satisfied with my experience purchasing a watch from Long Island Watch. They notified me when the watch I wanted was in stock and the delivery was quick and trouble-free. I would not hesitate to purchase another watch from them.”
“Wow...more beautiful than on the website. Can't believe the quality of this watch and the price! Glad I purchased this now since Seiko isn't releasing a new alpinist this year.”
“Picked up one of the last available Alpinists at a decent price. It is a true beauty, changed out the leather strap for a 2 tone jubilee style. This Seiko is a true beauty. Shipping was quick and safely delivered.”
“I recently purchased the Seiko Alpinist SARB 017 simply because Long Island Watch had them available for such a great price. I hate watch straps and all mine are bracelets as will the Alpinist very soon. I'm not especially impressed with the Alpinist - just bought it since Seiko had decided to discontinue it. We'll see if it grows on me once I get a Strapcode Angus Jubilee on it.”
