Poor man's watch thread

[javyn]

Following up here on a post from a few weeks back. I decided to return the very large citizen above and get the iconic Seiko Alpinist with strapcode oyster bracket. I got both off the Facebook Seiko marketplace from a guy in Maryland. I love it. View attachment 1372943

What do you think of the bracelet? I've been debating one from SC for my Baby Turtle, which already has an oyster bracelet, just not a very nice one.

I'll look for it when i get home. I saw it at Costco a few years back, had to have it, under $200 if I remember correctly.

It’s really nice. Very comfy and well made. I really like that you can make a ton of micro adjustments and the links are held together by screws and not pins. It was easy to do the adjustments myself with a screw driver I use for my glasses. All that said I only got the SC version because it came with the watch. I got it from a guy from the Facebook Seiko watch marketplace. The Alpinist was brand new and he included the SC oyster for $400 shipped. Great deal I think. If he didn’t include the SC oyster I probably would have purchased a much cheaper one on Amazon or eBay.

It’s a women’s watch and it looks good on my hairy wrist!

Thanks, got the ref. At 42mm it looks great on you but will dwarf my slimmer wrist. This is 39mm

Some watches do not photograph well, this one on the other hand is very photogenic
