I've just bought a sumo Hulk too, waiting for a tool to arrive to allow me to resize the bracelet, then it'll be in the wrist!
SLA021 today. Feels so sophisticated compared to the BB41 I picked up last week. Certainly hides it size a lot better.
033
Watch brands keep confusing the term limited edition with limited market or limited amount of more money than sense punters.
It is a nice watch but for the money that's nonsense.
Not been off the wrist since it arrived.
Surprisingly it has remained on the remarkably comfortable strap, rather than going onto my usual preference, the bracelet.
Hot Goddaaaaaam - that is not cheap! Cannot tell from the pic if this is a bit fat, but I assume this is the vertical clutch chrono movement that they've been using over the last few years.
I reckon this collection is probably Seiko's best diver out there at the moment. If I wore divers more, I'd get one!
Thank you Jim, I was quite lucky with the Black and White, they came from the same seller. The Green one is the hard one to find of that trio, which I picked up from buyee.jp the Japanese auction site.
I've working on the next generation of the SARB releases and I am waiting for one to arrive which will complete the line up. I'll post a picture when it's here of all of them together.
Here's me trying to not buy any more watches and you post this!!!
Looks amazing

6309-7040 "Turtle" on an Uncle Seiko bracelet.
The colours really do depend on the light

Here are my blue Seiko's.
The other ones are for another day :-)

Superb! I think the blue Alpinist is my favourite! The SARB015 (i think, bottom second from left) is also good. But seriously good at collecting them all.
Whats the NATO on the bottom right (and how is the quality)? I feel my STO could do with it!
SRPC49K1 from this morning. Lovely watch and the best turtle imo but never gets wrist time due to the spb079/mm200 and the sla022/mm300.
It's in SC if anyone's interested but not seen.
Thanks, I agree the SARB015 doesn't get the love it deserves because it looks different to the others, but I think it's a great watch and one that is not easy to find.
What next though? The guy who sold me the SARB013 also has these (although it's not his photo)
That Blue one on the right hand side is probably the rarest and most valuable Alpinist made. It was a limited edition of 500 around 15 years ago and never appears for sale.
Alternately I could work my way through the 2020 releases.
At present I am waiting for the guy with the Quartz models to get back to me.
You are right of course, but the collector in me is naturally attracted to the Blue one if that is offered at a reasonable price. I believe the last one sold was a NOS full set and was bought by a US Senator for $5000.00. Where all this information comes from I'm not sure, but that is miles above what I could or even would want to pay - so we will see.
Buying all four does seem like a hole, but do I really need a third Green or Black from the 2020 releases.
New in yesterday
The SKX jubilee fits like a charm, although I might invest in a Strapcode Super Jubilee
New hands for the SKX mod -
