Sold!
I bought a brand new Seiko Alpinist SARB017 when they started to get hard to find, about a year ago. The most expensive watch I ever bought and I couldn't bring myself to wear it. I purchased it online from an authorized Seiko dealer.


Never worn, barely even handled. Been sitting in the box, safe queen.
$595 shipped PP G&S
48 CONUS only
Thought I would offer it at a good price here to my fellow knifeknuts. If it doesn't sell quick, it's off to WatchUSeek. If you don't think this is a good price, check and see what these are going for! These are getting hard to find in new condition and unworn, and if you can find one, they tend to be much more expensive than what I am asking.
UPDATE: This is still available as I type this, but I am posting on watch forum today. Wanted to make you aware in case it sells elsewhere before you respond. If it sells elsewhere, I will take this down as soon as I can.
I reserve the right to sell to whomever I choose, or not - but first unconditional "I'll take it" here in this thread has priority, in most cases.
I have a brand new Seiko SARB033 that I bought at the same time, that I will be listing soon. If you're interested, shoot me a PM. Same price as the SARB017. The SARB033 band is as new and has not been sized, much less worn.
