Seiko Alpinist SARB017

Hi everyone,

This is my first post in this forum. I just got my SARB017 yesterday (purchased from Higuchi) and would like to share quick photo with you guys.

Do share your photos of SARB017 if you have one too. Have a great week ahead!

Re: Seiko Alpinist SARB017

Thanks for your kind words.

I have a question. When I shake mine while wearing it on my wrist, I can hear some clicking sound. I was wondering if that's just the rotor or some screw is loosened inside. The sound is quite audible as compared to my SKX007 or ETA-based Steinhart watches.

Do you have such experience? Thanks in advance.

I think I have to see the watch itself to appreciate it.

Sarb017 comes w croc leather strap.

Sarb015 comes w bracelet.

If u want bracelet for sarb017 you will hv to buy it separately. I believe the bracelet fm 015 will fit.
