I'm not a fan of the Alaska. Sure it's neat when you first see it with the red case, but the mercury capsules are a turn off. Now the other white speedies, Japanese Panda or Italian silvered dial... me want.
It all depends on what type of office meeting or strenuous activities you're referring too 馃槈
I love it, but the price gave me pause when it was under $4k so at $6k...I'm out. I did pick up a mitsukoshi dial.
This thread kind of makes me sad. I bought an Alaska project under retail right when it came out from an AD. I never wore it, just had it sitting in the safe and started to think to myself that this is a big, ugly watch and nothing is going to ever come of it so I sold it on ebay and pretty much got my money back. Just goes to show you that sometimes the big and "weird" watches are the ones to keep. SMH 馃う

$7500 is really high, IMHO, these have been selling for $6000 recently, and could be had for $4500 as early as beginning of this year.
