I’m selling my Seiko Blue Alpinist SPB089 today. This was a very, very limited edition watch that many people missed out on when it was sold via Hodinkee and Seiko for a very short time (an hour or less I think). I bought this directly from Seiko USA. One cool thing about this specific piece is its caseback has been screwed in perfectly vertical at the back. As a watch enthusiast, that kind of symmetry with the front always gives me a kick :) You can read more about the watch here: [https://shop.hodinkee.com/blogs/journal/seiko-us-limited-edition-alpinist](https://shop.hodinkee.com/blogs/journal/seiko-us-limited-edition-alpinist) Timestamp: In the post images Price: $899 + shipping via PayPal F&F or Venmo. Box, Papers: Yes, warranty card was not stamped by Seiko USA though. Watch condition: Excellent, I rarely wore this watch. I never wore the strap. There are some almost invisible micro scratches at the top left lug at the back that I have tried to photograph. CONUS only. No trades please. I've sold and bought several watches from several reputed sellers on this subreddit.

	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.
