Hi Guys, Just received this Alpha yesterday; scored on a "whim" bid on eBay. Very surprised when it arrived at how much I like it. It's big: some 47mm. Automatic; ceramic, cross-hatched-textured face; day, date and 24 hr sub-dials; lumed hands and 1/4 hr markers. Screw-down crown, too. Screwed in back, matching the eight screws on the bezel, and a really nice 26mm, light-brown/tan strap. Perhaps not everone's cup of tea, but it's a nice chunk of SS and very masculine-looking, I think. Was kind of taken aback by the "Swiss Made" at 6:00, as I thought these Alphas were all Chinese. Anyone have any more info on this watch or the Swiss Made business? Jim   Last edited on Thu Jun 22nd, 2006 09:20 am by |
