Not typically a fan of gem setting but these Alpine Eagles are quite tastefully done. Really digging the white and green combination, classy but with a bit of personality. I aspire to own an Alpine Eagle one day. I find the watch (and Chopard as a whole) quite slept on.

I’d take any of these over the AE41 with the date window lol

[–] MakingShitAwkward@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would rather scoop my own eyes out with a rusty tetanus riddled spoon than look at one of these again.

[–] Birkinlovehushhush@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i think they’re pretty but not very wearable

I am clearly not the target audience for these, but no thank you.

[–] Papa_Huggies@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I thought I'd hate it but the more I look at it the more I like it.

More as a work of art than something I'd actually wear though.

[–] NoIron1282@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Rolex are ugly as shit. They look like $10 watches you'd find at Walmart. I would take any Chopard over Rolex.

Are these men’s watches? They don’t look like men’s watches.

[–] Batuga505@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I hate Stones on watches

[–] naiemreza@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Alpine Ewgle

[–] LeonidMacintosh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Do people actually wears those

[–] PeteyTwoHands@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely not my thing. They're a bit...crass.

[–] LobsterPunk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love these. The blue/purple one is fire.

[–] McWatt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think gems set in a bezel is never a good look. Sometimes it can work on a woman's watch but never on a unisex or men's watch. The dials are interesting but the bezels and integrated bracelet on these look like shit. Too gaudy.

[–] Quack5463@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Butthole dial lol

[–] 64Olds@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wtf? No. Just no.

[–] goldblumspowerbook@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I too want a diamond-encrusted butthole.

[–] GoodOmenBadOmen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was kind of hoping for a brown dial and chocolate diamond version for this reason 😄

[–] Snowbrawler@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ew who wants Miami Vice colors on a watch... How much is it?

[–] CBus660R@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'd rock the blue dial/sapphire set watch. But at $85,000, I don't ever see myself in the economic bracket where that purchase is feasible.

Not for me.

[–] Null1fy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Liberace would've been a good spokesman for these

[–] unwrntd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i want an alpine eagle, just not these variants

[–] CDR_Starbuck@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well if the have a double butterfly deployment clasp as closure I'm out. 😄

[–] sjerkyll@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Citizen Series 8 Gold-Tone homage :))))

[–] escopaul@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The butthole dial is finally gettin dat DRiP!

Mom: ‘We have Pearlmaster at home’

[–] Osobady@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like the blue and gold

[–] Fuckoakwood@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cost of these?

[–] Jamadagni-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

These look like football player watches.

[–] UnspecifiedUserID@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes it's not hideous.

[–] 80H-d@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is gonna depreciate like crazy in the used market and will be a solid pickup there (40-55K would be appropriate for this)

Ugh I wish they'd stop trying to make Alpine Eagle happen... it's not going to happen. No part of this design is well executed. It's like they tried to copy a VC Overseas, but never saw one, and only had some kid's description to go off of. If you want an integrated bracelet sports watch and can't get / can't afford a RO or Nautilus, there are plenty of good options that cost way less and are far nicer.

[–] Cultural_Syrup_1267@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Breitling anyone?…..

The middle one looks like dark pee

[–] HSRXX@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like it but wish it had no diamonds

[–] EngineQuick6169@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Steel/titanium with no gems would be nice

[–] noctalla@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love how the dial texture looks like an anus.

[–] prepbirdy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

God no, nooooo.

[–] ParmeetSidhu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t like these and thought these would be under $1,000 and they’re $80k+ wtf

[–] alfis329@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You could not pay me to wear this watch

[–] WiseguyPokerClub@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not a huge fan. But if I only had these choices, I'd choose the one with the green bezel.

[–] couslandia@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder if Hodinkee will post an updated How To Wear It article for these Alpine Eagles.

[–] Ghetto-Bill-Gates@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yeah, ya gotta bust down a watch when you got that butthole texture dial.
