Just taken this in part ex .
In the flesh actually very nice. Box and papers from Nov 2016 they retail for £1040 , gonna go in the window for circa half that. It's like new.

Its a lovely watch and I'd be interested in buying it but they are £500 brand new on eBay at the moment.

EDIT: Just found one new for £445 elsewhereonline.

Cheapest bricks and mortar I can find (Bucherer) is £520 new. https://www.bucherer.com/uk/alpina-alpiner-steel-black-dial-mens-watch-al-525b4e6.html

OOOOh thanks for that.
Alpina was taken over recently by Citizen and altho they remain Swiss ( and will continue to do so) the distributors are different , so I reckon that is people dumping stock . At those prices they are losing money on each watch they sell.
