Alpina Startimer Pilot Heritage Chronograph Watch

Have the same Alpina silver dial, Mono Pusher Chrono https://us.alpinawatches.com/collections/startimer/products/al-727ss4h6 These Alpinas have extremely high quality design, finish and movements. I believe this is a great Drop price point for this timepiece. Only thing i really wish it came with a clear caseback option to showcase the movement. I didn't care for the strap/buckle so i swapped it out for Frederick Constant `Healey' Rally Strap https://newwatchstrap.com/frederique-constant-healey-vintage-rally-23x18mm-brown-genuine-leather-watch-strap-frd101.html

I have the silver/cream color dial version and although I spent less, it’s worth the drop price when you consider the uniqueness and exclusivity of the movement on this piece. The in-house LJP 7773 is a rarity in both the manufacturers custom movement itself and the exclusivity of the mono-pusher option to that movement. With a little research you will find that there are very few watchmakers offering mono-pusher designs and those come mostly from mid to upper tier makers. The only other watch that I could find that contains this movement is the Autodromo Ford GT “Owners Edition” albeit in a twin pusher flyback configuration and that watch retails at over $11,000. These are beautiful watches, finished to a high standard that unfortunately are hindered by a brand that specializes in watches that are often heavily discounted which can impact the value of the brand overall.

So sexy, but at twice my able-to-justify budget.
