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.

Edit: you could probably also get an 18mm to fit i would imagine

$52 for the buckle, then $64 to ship it, plus tax when it lands - it's the £160 buckle.

Am looking into it ...........but seeing as we haven't even got our watch yet seems unlikely I can do anymore than the Omega boutique.
Them's the joys .................

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

Ofrei postage is a shambles.

This is lovely. I'm surprised at how much I like that!

The dark spot, is that just a camera thing rather than a real life issue?

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.

Got this as well..............

That is nice. ^

I like Grand Seiko's a lot a lot. Did GS invite you @ejay or is that the invite for everyone?

Don't doubt it for a second. Nice watches for the money...

Just for us. But anyone can go visit the Baselworld show , just cant get onto any stands unless you have an appointment/invite. You can press your noses up against the glass however.

Reflection on the glass, of the ceiling light fitting I guess.

@ejay are you going? Also, sell the Alpina to @Stonehedge. The consummation of your relationship is long overdue

We are going as usual, not sure if I can yet. But probably .

ooh nice. how much for that?

Anyone own a watch with a Lemania 5100 movement? Is it mahoosive?

Not really sure. Another potential part ex.
2012 but hardly if ever worn, all box and papers. Mint. But Hamilton is a funny brand that nobody really knows of .
make me an offer...................

I love Hamilton.

Looks like a Jazz Master Auto Chrono. How old? I've Not seen the side by side sub dials before.

Its a ref H32646555

I really like it.

Jazz Master Auto Chrono

Really?

Exactly how much do you like it.......................?

I reckon I like it £500.

We may not be too far off actually. I think that's probably what it's worth.

I could only find two sold prices online. One was closer to £400 and one was about £600.

I'll take it for £500 + P&P if you're up for it.
