Did I keep it or return it.......I returned it sadly. I was very close to buying it but I decided against it, not because the watch isn't incredible....I simply can't justify the spend.....and my wife is watch me type this.....love you honey!

WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use RUclipss lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and RUclips deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

My Seiko divers watch is nearly 40 years old and still in perfect order. The only maintenance it’s ever had apart from a scrub with a toothbrush is to get new batteries. Brilliant watches.
Gorgeous! I love the Alpinist line. My only complaint is that for this price I expect a true traveler’s gmt.
Absolutely gorgeous! I like the subtle sunburst on a silverish white dial, the creamy rotating bezel, and the blue handset with a very subtle fauxtina. Although I don't mind the cyclops on the other Alpinist models, I prefer how they incorporated this date complication. But I think the surcharge isn't fully justifiable.
Thank you, I've been waiting for a review of this piece since these were announced. I'll probably wait for the prices to drop, then get the blue one and put on a strapcode bracelet.
I was very fortunate to be gifted one as a graduation gift from family and friends and I adore it! If I didn’t already have a green dial SEIKO SRPE45 (wedding gift) I’d have gone for the JDM GMT SBEJ005, but lacking a white dial watch in my collection and love of alpinists and GMTs this SPB409 was a perfect. I like that finishing of the blue hands appears to be better than the other variants.
A crazy price for this watch though. Maybe £650 or so but not over 1k.
I think the caller GMT movement with quickset date is a better compromise for most collectors, a non-quickset date movement like the Miyota true GMT would have to be left on a winder.
The sharp edge gmt has the 'traveller' movement and are about the same price as this. I'd probably go for the black dial, £300 for a colour dial is a bit rich.
beautiful watch. This is going to be my future purchase for sure. Love it
Yesterdays one, ssk015J1, is my cup of tea. Or the petrol blue ssk009J1 , with some kind of fancy strap will be my next and hopefully last seiko. 600 quid is my limit. Thanks for all the info! 👍👌
I can see why you were so excited. That is a stunning watch. Way outside my price range. If only someone could make a cheaper version of it….🤔
I am absolutely loving my SPB155 thanks to you Gary. Its even better than I thought it would be
It is a great looking watch…however, pretty expensive considering the movement is available in less expensive pieces…I know it’s Seiko and it is an alpinist….but still seems a lot for me. If it were priced more like a sumo or babyMM, it may be worth considering…great to see you got to review and see one!
Great watch but for that price they could sign the crown😂
I think it's the best looking alpinist I've seen. Surprised me a bit! You should probably send it back though if you're not sure to buy it or not. Will be a rash decision either way by the sound of things!
That's a lot of money for a limited edition Alpinist. The last one I bought was the 1959 Ginza and I'm pretty sure that was £580 direct from Seikoboutique. Maybe they saw where those prices ended up.
This is really not my thing, but your enthusiasm for it is infectious. The very soft satinated sunburst is very nice. The involuntary displacement of the inner bezel would drive me barmy.
£1290? And you get just the one? 😳
This is going to be a hit. Such a gorgeous watch. Just wish the movement was regulated from the factory at this price.
thats a frosty boy 🥶 love it
