After some bad watches from Alpha I had pretty much written them off.  My Newman chrono is great but I had to put a Miyota movement in my "PO" and my GMT fell apart.  When I saw this one I thought I would give them another chance.  I am glad I did!  This is a really nice pilot style for 75 clams shipped.  Display back shows a "Unitas" clone, the case is Titanium and the carbon fiber dial really pops.  Winds and sets smooth and so far seems to be running very well, maybe less than+10/day since I first wound it on Friday afternoon.
The strap is sorta cheap but looks nice.  I'll probably switch it out for a Hirsch or other carbon fiber.



I am really pleased with my 2 latest from China :)

Cheers,
Griff

They did a good job on that one. Looks like a $500 watch at least. Congrats. ;)
