Going with a new arrival...Alpina Extreme Sailing LE...impressed with many aspects of this one so far (I'll post up in new arrivals when I get a chance to take better pics...the natural light was very low by the time I took a few quick shots last night).
Nice Chris, Alpina is such an underrated brand.Is that the in-house mvmnt??
Absolutely love this timepieceNice purchase to add to your ever growing collection.
BIG CONGRATS
The AL 525 is a modified 2824-2 William. Here's the in-house mvt: AL 950
William, William, Jeff, and Trent...Thank you guys for the kind words on the new arrival Alpina!
William is correct regarding the AL-525...it is a modified 2824-2, but since Alpina is a true calibre manufacture I like the fact that they do all the modifications in-house...it really is a nicely finished movement with a way cool Alpina designed rotor IMO (I'm very happy to have the sapphire window on the back to peak through)
BTW William...love that from-the-ground-up Alpina In-House AL-950 in your Regulator!!!...so sweet!!!
William - agree...an under-rated brand it seems.
Jeff - very cool you've seen this one in person at your AD. They seem to be hard to come by here in the states.
Trent - you nailed it regarding the similarity to the IWC (lots of similar design cues to the Aquatimer 2K IMO), I have been eyeing the IWC for some time now too, and this one really checked a ton of boxes, and great bang for the buck IMO at a fraction of the price of an IWC...not to say I don't want several pieces from the IWC lineup (Offered a price to the AD, and they took it).
