Nice. I really like the way Alpina makes a watch. Well made, good customer service and a solid reputation. I have seen a few of their models for sale using watch recon. On my short list of 10 watches to one day own.





Number 1 on my grail list, if I had one, is that famous RD made by Invicta.

Of course it is!

Interesting about this Alpina is that it features the SW500, which is soon to be quite common; kinda cuts down the "collectible" market for that "amazing" Lupah, doesn't it.

Like the watches, but nine out of ten of their offerings are regulateurs. This company is obsessed with regulateurs!

I'll never own a yacht, but for some reason I love yacht timers.
