      The Seiko is a work of art and in that respect superior to the Rolex which in all honesty is as classy as a rat with a gold tooth. As watches are the worst long term investments just buy them because you personally like wearing them as works of art

    I feel like your vids get closest to the essence of the romance and dreams of horology and the beauty of desiring and owning watches and how time is transcendent like the places you visit and the music you use to soundtrack it all and we try to apprehend time in mechanical and beautiful symmetry with a watch that is a piece of art

      The lyrical choice of music is nice, The Moldau by Smetana, though thematically odd since the Moldau is a lowlands river in the Czech Republic, and your location is in the high Alps.

    Wow - what a great channel. I've been watching for a few months now. I never comment on RUclips channels but hey, it's time! I'm a watch guy, but I also LOVE Italy. You capture both and I that's part of the draw for me ... oh + wine and music! I'm making my 5th and 6th trip to Italy in April and September of this year ... just started going in 2016. Cant get enough. September's trip starts in Cortina d'Ampezzo! We are doing 7 days hiking through the dolomites before coming back down into civilization for another week in northern Italy. Unfortunately, I cannot buy a watch on this trip, but I did buy one in 2017 & 2019 ... both on the Ponte Vecchio in Firenze. Great memories captured in time pieces to be cherished. Keep putting up the content and we'll all come along for the ride.

    Thanks for this beautifully put together review of the Alpinist. The mountain town of Cortina reminds me of the Ford Cortina of the early-mid sixty's when I was barely a teenager which was the years that I started to become aware of watch brands the likes of Omega, Rado, Enica, Cyma, Tudor, Rolex, Seiko and Orient.
    The setting of the Cortina mountains reminds me of my days in the Province of Alberta in western Canada. The Towns of Canmore, Banff and Jasper. The blue sky and beautiful white-capped mountain tops and passes. Simply breathtaking...

    What a beautiful city and scenery. The watch is striking! I love how thick it is which makes a very bold statement. The lack of anti glare on the sapphire crystal could be used as a rescue alert device in case you get stuck somewhere in the mountains. Awesome job on the video, enjoyed every minute of it. The ending was hilarious!

    Another great video, they seem to get better each time out! Nice change of pace featuring a Seiko. I own a SARB035 and they are great watches for the money. They’re not without their weaknesses, which is to be expected for a $400 watch, but overall the finish and proportions are outstanding for the price. Well done as always!
    PS - great sweater and loved the little “post credits” scene! ;)

    The ending was an example of the perfect father daughter moment.
