No recommended store to buy one from right now, just shop around and see. Although at this price point might be worth it to buy from an Authorized Dealer as well. So check Long Island for when they get some in stock.

Beads of Rice Bracelet: https://www.uncleseiko.com/store/p233/SARB017_%28Alpinist%29_Beads_of_Rice.html
Pretty nice bracelet. Looks great & Good milled clasp, but folded end links

President Bracelet:
https://www.uncleseiko.com/store/p232/SARB017_%28Alpinist%29_President_Bracelet.html
Not as good as the Beads of Rice bracelet. Finish not quite as good, and a stamped clasp. Also folded end-links.

Today we are finally taking a closer look at the brand new 2020 Seiko Cream Alpinist. SBDC089 / SPB119J1 . Which I'm calling the Ghost Alpinist. It along with The Black SBDC087 / SPB117J1, the green SBDC091 / SPB121J1 , and the cream and gilt SBDC093 / SPB123J1 are the four new versions for this year. Which are all part of the ProSpec Seiko lineup.

Overall they are very similar to the previous Alpinist the SARB017. With the only major difference being the new 6R35 movement. Which supposedly brings the power reserve to 70 hours, but I also put that to the test.

Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links, I am an Amazon, Armilla, Aliexpress, Spinnaker, eBay and Phoibos affiliate so I would earn a small commission on qualified purchases. But most of the time Amazon is just the best source to link something just to get a look. I always encourage you to shop around and find the best price.
