[New Watch] Picked up my grail-ish watch recently: a Red Alpinist SCVF007
I originally just wanted a watch from the era I grew up in, but I ended up getting weirdly attached to the story behind these. The whole “Japanese mountaineering watch” thing plus the compass bezel hit me right in the childhood nostalgia because I used to do Boy Scouts and orienteering stuff growing up.
Feels less like I bought jewelry and more like I bought a tiny artifact from another time in my life.
Also, pictures really don’t capture how good the dial looks in person!
