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?
