Really glad I grabbed this one, very nicely finished and seemingly engineered for my wrist. Fits beautifully.
Not much more to add but the usual complaint that the strap is sub par for the quality of the watch.

Switched to a mesh I had laying around.

Congrats Tony!thumbsup.gif

I find the OEM rubber extremely soft and comfortable, but agree with you on the quality...could be a bit thicker too IMO.

Looks sweet on that mesh!bravo.gif

Nice Tony congrats...Alpina is a by underrated brand IMO, the rubber on my regulator is actually nice..

Make sure all those triangle screws are tight, had a couple loose ones on mine when I got it

I agree with you Chris, just a bit short for me, and wish the taper, which I like in straps, was to 20mm, not 18. In any case I'm enjoying this mesh but also have a HIRSCH Pure rubber I may try on it.

Thanks everyone for the kind replies, and Will, I'll try and figure out what's up with the pics

Agree Tony...the taper to 18mm is more than I like to see too.  I would prefer a max taper to 20mm like you are saying, or even just a straight 22mm.

This Alpina is excellent on an Isofrane too btw! thumbsup.gif

Mine says hello!

Yes I agree Alpina watches are underrated. I own 2 Alpina Extreme Diver 1000m watches, one stainless steel and one pvd.

Still hectic, but I've had a bit of time this weekend and felt the need to pop in.
