1st generation Alpinist

Sorry, John!

I agree with you completely about the natural design elements used by Seiko in the early Alpinist models. That is one of the reasons that I was so attracted to them. In fact, to my eye, many of the early Seikos are examples of excellent, minimalist design. I have, for example, a rare seven jewel Seiko that was on the lower end of their model line, yet it is quite beautiful in its simplicity. I will show that one on another thread when I have taken some good photos.

I'm not surprised, but glad to see that your english is excellent. Unfortunately, I am a typical American (though only in this regard!), and have never mastered another language.

Best regards,

Tony
