Up for sale is this excellent condition Seiko Alpinist SPB298 “Mystic Forest”. Nobody does dials better than Seiko at the price and this is a magnificent example. I tried to do my best to showcase the dial in photos but it is leagues better in person.

The overall condition is excellent. The crystal is pristine and I don’t see any marks on the case sides and only minor swirls on the bracelet near the clasp. There are a couple of small surface marks on the clasp (which I am sure can be buffed out) and some micros on the polished bezel. The glass on the exhibition caseback is also pristine and if there are marks on the caseback I sure can’t see them.

Functionally, I have never had a better 6R35; it is running to within about +/3-4 spd but YMMV depending on wearing conditions. Everything works as it should… the screwdown mechanism is smooth and the date is centered and snaps into place when changed.

This is a full kit sale. Included is the original Prospex “Boutique Exclusive” box, unused Seiko deployant leather strap, hang tag, all documentation and removed bracelet links.

Watch Charts has the value at $634; I am priced well below that.

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
