The Alpina Startimer: Swiss Value Perfection (Patreon)
Content
Here's one of my favorite watches, the Alpina Startimer series. 100% Swiss made and featuring classic styling, these have been shown in TNP for years...now it's time for the official feature length WRV. These have been taken on all kinds of TNP adventures from boating to diving to shooting. In prep for the review I secured six varieties to show you including the automatic version (always more expensive). Some cool camouflaged versions have been issued and I'll show you my favorite, the Urban Camo, also below in link. These watches feature typical Swiss quality with sapphire crystals, Sellita SW200 auto movements, perfect water-tight pushers, and excellent straps. Some smaller 42mm pieces are also reviewed, some featured my hands modification work to get rid of the sliver hands! You'll see for the first time here my watch "sensei" Chris Howard; he's helped me gain expertise in their disassembly.
These Startimers could be the pride of your collection and, while availability and cost always fluctuate, they are worth it!
