I have been looking at this watch for a while and finally today I found an authorised dealer who was kind enough to show it to me. I really like the dial and the general feeling of the watch, but both the steel and rubber bands feel kind of cheap. Does anyone own this watch? Do you have any opinions to share? I’m deciding whether to buy it or not

I don't own one but have had a chance to look at and wear one. They're nice. I don't disagree about the strap feeling a little cheap, but it wasn't enough to bother me. Personally, I'd go for their new California Dial version.

That said, I'd never buy an Alpina at full price. These are watches that feel like they were made to be sold for 40% on grey market sites.
