My US Limited Edition Seiko Alpinist finally arrived! I'm still in awe about this new release. I've been telling myself that if Seiko ever released a blue version of my beloved SARB017, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I was at lunch break when the first announcement came out at Hodinkee, and I bought one without hesitation. Still can't believe I'm one of the lucky ones.

As far as comparing it with the original green version, the sunburst navy blue dial is considerably darker and more subdued, which I actually really like. Overall, it's a lot less flashy. It's interesting how simply changing the hands and indices to silver transforms it to a totally new watch. The leather strap is actually pretty decent. It's still a little stiff, but nowhere near as bad as the alligator strap that came on the SARB017.

I don't know what else I can say, except that I am definitely going to wear the hell out of this watch!
