I purchased this watch on a whim, to see how the quality of Alpha watches is. Turns out it's a very nice watch. I sent the watch to Duarte at North East Watch Works and had him bead-blast the entire watch and install new hands. I think it's a vast improvement! I can highly recommend North East Watch Works if you want to have some customization done. I'm very happy with the work, and the service was fantastic!
