Ah, Alphas. What can one say about them? Well, they’re inexpensive, for one. And they look like famous brands that cost a lot more. And you can get them in a variety of styles. Like this Planet Ocean look-a-like that I picked up. I dig the PO style, but not the price tag, of course. The watch feels pretty good, although it was lighter than I expected it to be. And, the white date wheel is not my most favorite thing, but perhaps I’ll be able to fix that one day. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy it just the way it is.
