Like it, rich rustic look

thanks! At a closer look the finishing is rather sloopy, but the nice color makes up for it 😀.

Really nice pick-up. Very attractive, and those Alpinas are underrated. The cases are especially nice.

Cheers,

Do not forget the 59x movement. They are excellent quality and very nicely finished for this category watches. Not Patek but very decent craftsmanship.

Something beginning with "R" and ending in "olex"

Answer will be given later.

Any guesses, correct guess gets a free like 😀

Posted in the WRUW section as well. Alpina cal 592. Picked up at less then we pay for a full case of beer. Movement is prestine (but dry) partly due to the use of a designated dust cover, and dial has aged very gently for a +/- 60 year old watch.
The crystal was damaged, and the sellers picture not very flattering. I think the improvement of a new crystal and a 30 minutes of cleaning was worth the efforts?
(First photo is sellers pic.)

It's like looking at two different watches. Beautiful. Nice pickup!

Congrats! One of the best modern interpretations of a vintage iconic watch IMHO

I just bought this yesterday. Has anyone seen this type of textured dial before?

If it is a redial....., I would have one or two to have done.....
