Heh! You got the Alpinist? Nice! It's an incredible watch for the price but didn't really suit me as well as I had wanted.
How's yours keeping time? This 6R15 movement is incredible... my Sumo is losing less than a second a day!
What I find totally shocking about these watches (the "Sumo" I have, the Alpinist I had, the Spirit line) is that Seiko keeps them as Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) only, and ships their worst junk to the rest of the world. These Seikos have the quality of a watch twice the price... I appreciate patriotism, but they'd make a killing on these in the states!
Oh, uh, if your Submariner isn't feeling loved, I've got no problem with giving it a permanent home... I'm totally sure my RS1 is of equal value...
