Guys
I have been seeing a lot of Alpha watches around the forums... but have never owned one or even seen one off the forums.
I was checking out their US website and they have some nice looking watches and 3 or 4 in particular I like. 3 are b/w 50-80 $ and one a Chrono at 140. And for the next week or so they have a 12% discount of that price.
I was wondering what your experience was with Alpha watches... quality of parts and finish? the way they look in reality close up? durability?...
The ones I like are the following and I'll post pics and links in case some of yuo want to look into these further.
1- The Carbon $81.99 an interesting fairly unique & good looking piece and I don't have a PDV watch.. I am concerned the black PVD coating/finish in this one may not be too durable.
20 Jewel Automatic Mechanical Multifunction Movement with Day/Date Display
2- The GMT $64.99 and I like two of their different versions/color.
35 Jewel Automatic GMT Movement
3- The Newman $139.99 A col looking chrono " a la Rolex"
Seagull TY2903 (ST19) 17 Jewel Manual Chronograph Movement
4 - The 'MilSub" $65.99 base don their normal sub. Ia m diggin this one quite a bit:)
TY 2806 Automatic Movement
Or their regular sub $64.99 which is a good basic to have. I don't own a rolex sub nor any of the imitations... though I was chekcing out the Steinharts. just too $$$ for now.
Seagull TY2806 21 Jewel Automatic Movement
5- Blue Sea $76.99 a la Omega, cool blue and cool hands IMO
Seagull TY2806 21 Jewells
What do you guys think?
I may get one for a friend as a gift for Xmas and one for my dad:)
Thanks! Brice
