Intimidating piece, Oscar. I love that movement and the extra detail on the inner dial is a good addition. I see this is a little beyond your size boundaries....and for sure, a keeper. Enjoy!!!

Enjoy

Great choice, O.

I bought an Alpina Extreme Diver (SS on that amazing "stretchy" rubber they use) a couple of weeks ago, and my office buddy here liked it so much he bought it from me, so sadly no pics.

I am loving the fit and finish on these surprising but underrated watches, so I will keep an eye out for a 48mm RG cased version.

Gotta love that clear presentation and the design on your diver.

Gnarly, dude!

TY Guys!...the rubber strap is very comfortable on this model,and I agree Will & Ian the display back with decorated movement is pretty cool on a diver with this kind on WR...btw Ian,the RG case model is pretty cool imo!

that is an evil place :). they emailed me when they had their breitling clearence (60% off)...luckily they didnt have one for me. i always look for one of the avalanche regulator manufacture when i am up their way. no kidding...I have to stop everytime I am in that area,just to stare at the U.N "Freak"!!!
