Just had my 4s15 Alpinist repaired. It's such a great watch - rolex inspired and the date window is annoying but still.
I'm eager to try the new Astron which is kickass tech in a wearable size for the first time.

I have the other two (proper "Red Alpinists"): cream and black. And I'm just missing the green one.

After 4S15 was discontinued, Alpinists based on 6R15 have been produced for many years, but they are nowhere as sought after as the 4S15 version.
...but for a much higher price.
I really don't appreciate how Seiko is upselling certain segments of their products. I feel the customers are being milked without getting the once excellent value in return anymore.
