Alpina Extreme Diver 300 Orange Bezel Watch
Dive watches are one of those categories that just about everyone seems to love, as evidenced by the sheer number that the brands are producing (as well as it being the focus of many micro-brands popping up lately). ?Alpina?themselves already had five other divers in their lineup prior to this new model being released. Their popular Extreme Diver 300 that we love now comes with a tweaked dial and bezel with orange colored markers. It isn't so much an evolution as it is a tasty new flavor.The Extreme Diver 300 Orange is Alpina's latest entry into the category - and actually, it's two entries. That's because they're introducing an automatic?(powered by the AL-525 movement) in a 44mm case with 22mm lugs, as well as a quartz-driven model (powered by the AL-240) in a 38mm case with 18mm lugs. While there are some notable differences with the movement and cushion case size, there are a lot of similarities to the two watches.For starters, both carry a water resistance rating of 300 meters, he

An Introduction and an Appreciation
Gentlemen I've been on TRF for a while now (when I did not own a Rolex) and was initially rather intimidated by the passion and knowledge that a lot of you have. The technical and non-technical discussions, made me realise there's an entire ecosystem here. I've been wearing a Tag Carrera for about 3 years now and was (and am) really happy with it. But even before, I'd always had this itch for a Rolex. Every 6 months roughly, I'd visit (my now) AD who was super patient with me. I turned 30 a few months ago and something went off in my head. I'd been looking at the BLNR for a long while and had made up my mind. A confluence of circumstance made me think that now was the time. When I went down to my AD though, he also showed me the GMT Master II 116710LN. I've heard that a watch must speak to you. And the LN sang to me. I booked it a month ago and it finally arrived on Wednesday. Here's a few pictures of (what I think) is a magnificent and elegant watch. This is my first post on TRF, and

Green Submariner
I purchased this green sub, the bracelet has the tin can type feel to it, but it looks like the markings, etc. are legitimate. Then I noticed on the inside of the bezel (inside the case), there is no rolex markings, just silver/stainless which threw up a flag. The second hand has the Rolex sweeping movement. Can you help me determine if I need to send this back? Is it real?IMG_4212.jpgIMG_4211.jpgIMG_4207.jpgIMG_4206.jpgIMG_4205.jpg
