A few of my friends and I went to Manayunk (near Philadelphia PA) today to visit Martin Pulli Jewelers and I walked out with an Alpina Avalanche Extreme Automatic. 48mm case on a rubber strap. AL Caliber 525 (base ETA 2824-2) nicely decorated movement. The owner (Martin Pulli) was very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely go back again.      |

DOH!!  Just read your intro and asked some silliness considering the info in this post. Congratulations on the Alpina and to use the old cliche... Welcome to the club.;) I'll echo what the other Alpina owners have stated in that Alpina makes a kick butt watch which is under appreciated imho. You have excellent taste!yourock.gif Enjoy your new Alpina! |

Alpina Ebauche Factory in Geneva, owned by Duret & Colonnaz, played an important role in the construction of the first Alpina calibres. See link below for full history. http://www.alpina-watches.com/en/company/ |

Nope, fixed chapter ring or bezel, not really a diving watch. I think their claim to fame is water resistant watches for skiers. |
