Good evening, WatchEx! First of two tonight: the Alpina Startimer Pilot Heritage Limited Edition of 288. Alpina has long been a favorite affordable brand of mine for a multitude of reasons: great design language, reliable Swiss construction, very approachable prices (especially on the secondary market), and a pilot style that isn't your everyday German flieger. Their finishing is arguably the best at their price point, and their funky offset rotors are a nice touch. This model, the Startimer Pilot Heritage, has a fun party trick: the caseback flips open, pocketwatch style, to reveal an exhibition caseback. What's the purpose? Aesthetics and heritage. This piece does a great job of brining the pocketwatch style up to modern standards, and the cótes de geneve finishing on the underside of the caseback is a wonderful attention to detail that could have easily been overlooked with standard concentric brushing. Quick Specs: - Reference: AL-525NBG4SH6 - Stainless Steel Case - 44mm Case - 20mm Lugs - 50m Water Resistance - Sapphire Crystal - Onion Crown - Movement: AL-525 (SW200-1 Top Grade w/Alpina Rotor) - 38hr Power Reserve - Mint condition. Unworn. [Album + Individual Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/jkyIkJj) [Timestamp/Other Available Pieces (there are a lot.)](https://imgur.com/a/tyNQvkt) I'm asking for a loosely negotiable $599, less than half of retail and about 30% lower than anywhere else I could find it. Price is shipped/insured within the US (UPS 3-Day, fully insured), international shipping available at buyer's expense (typically not more than $50.) Zelle preferred, PP F&F also accepted. Tons of refs on here, hundreds more on various reputable watch groups on Facebook. Sale preferred. I have a lot of watches to list - if you see something you like in the timestamp/for sale boxes photo above, let me know and I can prioritize photos/information on those! Thanks for looking - Cheers!
