As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I've recommended enough people to reach out to Komail at Time Machine Plus for a deal, that I finally took my own advice.

$135 for this “refurbished” watch in original packaging is just a stupid price. Could not let it pass.

Is it a screw-down crown? The sale is still going on, and I am awfully tempted after looking at your pictures. I already owned an Alpina, and they are quality watches. What are your impressions so far? I just need a little push :)

I just got mine today. The hardest part was trying to get all the plastic off. Obviously, a brand new watch!

Enjoy yours. I know I will mine.

Here's a picture of me wearing another Alpiner of the same series. The new one isn't sized yet, so it wouldn't work as a clue to how it wears.

I have very small wrists. To the extent that my Alpina Seastrong wears a bit too big (but I wear it anyway). This one doesn’t look too big (at least to me it doesn’t).

Not wearing it today (need to get the bracelet sized) or I would check to see if it’s a screw back. Honestly, was so stunned by the silver dial I can’t remember the case back. 😂

Alright I'm in. Stupid deal to pass up. Maybe I'll get rid of my white bracelet Startimer that I don't wear.
