Greetings r/Watchexchange: Here’s my Seiko SARB013 Alpinist. This is a long discontinued JDM model from 2006. It's a full kit, with tags, instruction manual and expired warranty, plus 2 links. Asking price is **$1,190.** This includes USPS CONUS tracked shipping and insurance. If you’re outside of the U.S. or in Alaska or Hawaii, then I’ll split the shipping and insurance 50-50. No APO shipping and not looking to trade. Let’s talk about this watch. I collect SARBs and this Alpinist has been nice to have. I’m at a point where it makes sense to thin the herd and so I’m selling it. I want you to know exactly what you’d be getting when you buy it. This 013 is in good condition. It is not a pristine example by any stretch but it wears nicely and is a conversation starter. The asking price has been lowered. Here’s the main reason why: The direction indicator on the functioning bidirectional bezel has faded -- the N and the N in NE should be red but are not. See the close-ups here: Timestamp & Close-ups of Dial and Bracelet: [https://imgur.com/a/UEmxHMK](https://imgur.com/a/UEmxHMK) The fading on the dial was brought to my attention by a trusted seller on this exchange. I’ve owned the watch for awhile now and hadn’t even noticed. This 38 mm watch has scratches on the case and on the original bracelet (which fits my 7" wrist and is expandable). I’ve been ok with how the watch presents itself, so again, please check the photos. I've done my best to photograph this timepiece from all angles. If the images aren't to your liking or you want to see more, please let me know. The watch keeps good time but I haven’t officially gauged it. I do not know the service history and the price also reflects the fact that you might want to get it serviced. The sapphire crystal is clear and unblemished. The lume is strong. So now you know what you’re getting. PM me if you’re interested. I’m open to questions and while pretty firm on this lower price, I'll listen to reasonable offers. These 013s don’t come up for sale that often. Check eBay now and you’ll see a few examples, including a higher-priced one with the exact same dial fading.

Please also check my 100% positive Ebay feedback, seller burtinge. Local pickup in the San Francisco Bay Area is ok. PayPal is my preferred payment method. Add 3.5% for fees if not F&F. Thanks!
