It is a nice watch. Same case as the BB58 which is an awesomeness case but I found the BB58 to visually look too small on me but the Ranger looked just right. Ranger had a better bracelet too.

That said, the faux patina is what turned me off. I’m not always against faux patina if in small doses but this just has too much of it for me.

I have the black dial version of this Alpanist GMT. It’s great. Love the size, the bezel being brushed and with the hour markers I think make it a little more sporty than the other alpanists.

I was a little annoyed that it didnt come with a bracelet. However any Aplanist bracelet, weather Seiko, strapcode, uncle seiko etc. Will fit.

I picked up the new Seiko Alpinist GMT SPB379 and highly recommend. If you have no use for the gmt, you can save money with the Alpanist sharktooth SPB117.

Monta Atlas is a great microbrand option too.

The older railmaster with the white markers is awesome. I’m sure the newer ones are great too but I just can’t do the fake patina.
