Perfect fit. Perfect brushed finish. Looks awesome with Namoki top hat sapphire crystal. Packaging is top notch coming in a blue metal tin
Incredibly beautiful dial. The Roman numeral markers matched with a chapter ring grades an excellent luxury watch. Couldnāt recommend anymore.
Truly an excellent chapter ring, I was unsure as some brushed chapter rings don't seem to colour match with the case all that well, but this one is really well done. Of course the lume is amazing, really well matched to the factory finish. Overall I'm very pleased, it's a bit more expensive than other chapter rings and I worried it might be overkill, but it's very pleasing in reality.
Iāve always loved the look and feel of the Seiko Alpinistāespecially the original design without the Cyclops, which is harder to find in newer models. I also enjoy tinkering with watches, so getting to build my own version was a real treat. I love wearing itānot just for how it looks, but also because it often sparks conversations that lead to sharing my passion for watchmaking.
That said, I did run into a bit of trouble when I lost one of the caseback screws, which meant I couldnāt wear the watch for months. I searched everywhere for a replacement and finally reached out to Namoki for support. They were super helpful and understanding, and I really appreciated their support.
I highly recommend this casestyle and Namoki. The watch's look is beautiful, and their customer support is top-notch.
