Re: another Hodinkee collaboration: seiko alpinist
I've had the black version of the Nighthawk and it is cool, but wears bigger than I like these days. I just found an unworn Alpinist for basically list plus shipping, so I'm going to give it a try. Shout out to Terry for connecting me with the seller!

All 3-handers work as a compass using the sun. The capacity to take a more accurate bearing due to the markings is cool.hidden by leaves wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 8:08 amMaybe I've just never learned it properly, but I just can't seem to get past compass points on a watch with no compass... It just bugs the hell out of me for some reason, even though admittedly here they are not too obtrusive.

Mine just arrived and I love it. The dial really changes based on the lighting. I need to get a bracelet. Thanks again Terry for the hook up!

I have one here. I am just saying that I believe the Hamilton Khaki is a better buy, and better watch imo.

The alpinist does wear better. But damn the crystal glare takes away from the dial. I can hardly see what finish the dial has. The compass on the alpinist seems like it moves every time I cough.

Re: another Hodinkee collaboration: seiko alpinist
So ever since the LE came and gone...Ive been thinking about the Alpinist. Since im not willing to pay for a 3x mark up, what do you guys think about the Green? The numnerals...its raised...I assume its not gold.
Also whats the best deal you guys have seen?
Thanks much
