The ALBA arrived today from Boris in Hong Kong right on schedule It's Big and Heavy and My Feelings were like when My 1st Seiko Monster Arrived some 2 yrs. ago.....WOW ! The Fit and Finish are not what one would expect in a $118. Timepiece....it is Very Well Made and the Solid SS Bracelet without the Divers Extension will easily fit a 10 in. Wrist .......The Dial has a Wave Design and the Lume is Equal the Monsters..............the Screw Down Knurled Crown is easily manageable and the Contour Design of the Case and PVD Bezel flow Beautifully.................This is a Winner in All Categories

I love my Alba too. The f&f is far superior to a brand such as Inflicta. It's one of those things that you have to feel while wearing to understand. Great brand.

Yes it is!! I'd love to get that manta also, but that seems to be tricky right now, almost (not quite) like trying for a yellow monster.

Yes, I do like it. Got a nice finishing. 

I saw the same model couple of weeks ago from a local shop here. Unfortunately, the price here is a bit higher compare to HK.:(
