Your Seiko Might Be Fake

How To Spot A Fake Seiko Alpinist | Clicky Bezel

If Your Seiko Has This, It Might Be Fake

Did you know there are fake Seiko Alpinist watches out there? It’s a scary thought, especially for a Japanese enthusiast watch brand less than the $1000 mark.

Today, we are taking a look at a fake Seiko Alpinist replica purchased through Craigslist. We are joined by Ripley Sellers, a good friend of the channel, as he talks about his story picking up this watch replica and compares it to a genuine Seiko Alpinist to see differences from the case, to even the movement itself.

This video was filmed during Wind Up Watch Fair San Francisco 2022 as Ripley Sellers was in town from Los Angeles to share his experience with this fake Alpinist. We figured we might as well put together an impromptu video for you all. Hope you all enjoy it!
