Very Nice. Alpina makes some nice watches, and World Lux is great to deal with.

The Alpina is a strong contender. But, as much as some folks don't really like that Dievas Prototype, I kind of do like it. The movement isn't very decorated. But, overall; that's a pretty cool piece. I was thinking about maybe getting it and a SA Air Boss Mach IV, or other combo. It's hard to make a decision when we are talking about $1,000+ to spend. But, the Alpina is so sharp! Last edited on Mon Mar 10th, 2008 07:27 pm by GKH |

When I got my Alpina, I didn't even think of asking for the rubber strap. :( That watch is certainly a big boy watch. When I had the bracelet sized, I just made sure it was a little on the snug side. I didn't want that thing banging around.

All the brands and watches you are mentioning are very nice and won't leave you disappointed. The Dievas Proto kicks ass!! Which Ball draws your interest? The SA is cool too. I can tell you the Alpina gets noticed and people generally are curious first due to the size and secondly, the dial arrangement. Beside the off the beaten path factor (which I wanted), the Alpina is top notch all the way. I am sure Chick can echo that! Tough choice palomine.. Why not start a new thread with your choices and let the WIS here chime in?

I have owned the Mach IV on s/s. I loved that watch! I just wasn't able to get the bracelet right for my wrist. And, I felt after selling it, I would one day return to it on leather. And, I did own the Ball Fireman before, as well. So... the Dievas comes to mind. I have already spoken w/Marc at IW. He has one in stock.. As far as the Alpina in 48mm, here's a shot of my 46mm Incursore on my 7.5" wrist. It's big! But; it wore well. - Greg Last edited on Mon Mar 10th, 2008 07:53 pm by GKH |

The Alpina is one of my favorites, and is one of my few watches that always gets noticed. It's just a great watch.
