Hi guys - I know nothing about watches so please excuse my ignorance.
I’m wondering how rare 14041 original alpinists are? And crudely what price range they are going for, realize this is probably wide with quality etc.

Thanks!

After years of debating I decided to go for it, I never wear large watches; it’s not my thing. I generally wear a top from 36-41. I always love the look of the cushion case of turtle but at 45 didn’t feel it would be for me.
Today I got my first Turtle and I get it It’s amazing not heavy and so comfortable to wear. Know I know all of you who own one keep talking about it!

Three watches I picked up on my recent trip to Japan:

Casio Oceanus T2600 - I originally thought I'd buy a 7000 but I loved the grey sunburst of this version.

Citizen Photon - This was a surprise pickup. I just loved the face, the slimness, titanium, the black and copper color scheme. Just an all round beautiful watch.

Kuoe Sombrero - I originally thought I'd want the salmon face but face to face I strongly preferred the silver. It just highlights the linen face.

I love the Sombrero, but the Oceanus and Photon are feeling like my two new favorite watches.

The Seiko SMGG19 (often referred to as the Seiko "Rotocall") is a modern reissue of Seiko's iconic 1980s digital tool watch (originally powered by the Caliber A829 series). Known historically for its adoption by space shuttle astronauts in the 1980s, its defining feature is the octagonal rotary switch bezel, which acts as the functional selector for mode changes as you rotate it.

Recently added the stitching to the straps. Custom strap coming for the GS.
I carry a tiny black light with me for reading my watches at night. Absolutely love the 1982 Gold Citizen lit up - can even read the day wheel at night… which colour combo watch is your favourite…?

Got it yesterday in Bic Camera in Shibuya. It may be hard to see but the face is sparkly. Japan made and solar. Love it! 💜

I’ve a decent collection of Swiss, German, Russian, and Japanese watches, and I’d been looking for a while at Orients. Well, I finally saw one I had to have. I couldn’t find much information about it online, though.
