Welcome to 3T. Saw your post and then gone. Take a minute and feel it out as O said. Alpina Avalanche Extreme, huh? Why would anyone do such a thing??toon1.gif

 

Put mine on the rubber strap a while back. Makes it another watch and uber-comfy too!

That is nice! Really Nice! What size is your wrist? Mine is 7.5". And, I have worn some good size watches. I think at 48mm, the Alpina would be just fine. The Swiss Army Air Boss Mach IV wore very well.

I have even (again :D) considered the Glycine F 104 (53mm). A buddy of mine bought one on my telling him about the Glycine brand. That one, I am always on the fence about. It's big! And, yes, the articulated lugs do help! Ha!

Hey thanks. The Alpina is one of my true keepers. My wrist is 7.25 at most. I have had no issue wearing this watch, but I do have a penchant for large watches. I think I might draw the line at 50mm and above but one never knows...

I think our very own Oagaspar has the Glycine F-104. Perhaps he'll dazzle us with a wrist shot. I am gonna guess his wrist size is pretty close to mine because I received watches from him and not resized them.

Very Welcome! I know what I meant to ask; how's the lume with the Alpina?

 

Here are a couple of shots of my friend's F 104 that I took right after he bought it..

on my wrist...



Alongside my Ball Fireman (43mm)..

Jeez, Greg... We must have similar tastes. I also have a Fireman. Thumbsup3.gif

Lume on the Alpina is adequate but in no way inpressive. If I had a complaint it would be the lume. If you prefer a real strong glow this watch will disappoint in that regard.

The F-104 looks great on your wrist. The articulating lugs make a world of difference.

Lume isn't that big of a deal for me. But, I am always curious. Glycine's don't have great lume, either. Ball's? Oh yeah! They have really great lume! 

I sold the Fireman in 2007. I thought it was a keeper... I really liked it too! Something else was calling. But, then; I think every one I buy is going to be a keeper!

What I have now are these.....

O&W 6497XXL, Rado Diastar Original Automatic, Citizen Oxy automatic on s/s, 1970 Accutron Spaceview, Citizen Solar-Tech Eco Drive Ti World Timer, Timex Ironman, Citizen Noblia Calendar, and a few others..
