The power reserve dial is strangely comforting.
Yes, I've always liked the look of the Alpinist but never pulled the trigger as I think it's overpriced. Also the reason for not having any Grand Seikos in the collection, can't get my head round parting with that amount of cash for something that's 'just a Seiko'.

Yet another strap on this as the yellow/orange one was a little narrow.
Although a cheap watch and the strap cost more I quite like it

More of a fake than an homage but I don't think Panerai have ever made a watch like this. Bought from the long since defunct 'Poshwatch' website this is about 15 years old and surprisingly still fully functional (other watches I bought from this site have long since failed / fell to bits).

yeah. its an odd strap. think its because of the way its seated in the lugs. personally if i felt more confident i'd change it. I do have something similar but more nato esque.. (similar colour) , coming...
My hands dont work so well and that strap is difficult to work with. still the one on is easily adjusted

Grant

Yes, I've got a black leather 'quick release' strap coming that I think might suit it also an orange silicone one I might try?
I have to wait for my meds to kick in before I try anything complicated but then it's a good work out to maintain my manual dexterity. Did you get your GMT homage yet?
