Looks awesome! It’s such a beautiful watch. How does it feel on your wrist and look now that you own it? Congrats! Such a unique dial.

It’s extremely comfortable on the wrist. Besides the movement and the thinner case, the dial is slightly bigger compared to the standard AE thanks to the thinner bezel.

Wow, that’s great, Edward.
Which boutique did you order from?

As Mach said, their customer service is really impressive.

WOW!!! Are you going to ‘pull the trigger’ on this stunning beauty? Hopefully, you’ll have the opportunity to see it in the flesh to make a more informed decision! Keep us updated!

Love it! Does the bracelet taper from the lugs to the clasp?

Thx!

There is not a lot of tapering, as you may see on the fotos. I measured: about 2.1-2.2cm to around 1.9cm.

Blue, black, white. Even light blue or aqua. Not excited about salmon or green faces. But if you like it, enjoy it. It’s not you, it’s me.

Personally, I didn't choose mine based on dial color, I chose it based on all the other specs and movement. That said, I do think the dial is beautiful in person.

Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF in titanium:




L.U.C 1860 in Lucent Steel:






I received a text from my SA the morning of the event stating, "My request for the Alpine Eagle 41 XPS has been approved by Geneva." During the event I submitted my deposit. He informed me to expect my piece late this year / early next year. However, that sounds pretty aggressive for someone with no purchase history. So, I'm preparing myself mentally to expect next summer or fall for my piece - that even my be too aggressive.

I have heard multiple variations of production targets for this piece across various sites and YouTube. This is easier said than done but try not to let that discourage you. As athens7 stated, it would be best to go through a boutique. You may have to make a little effort to find the right one and the right SA that will work with you. I've used this approach with other brands. But IMHO this piece is the winner from Watches & Wonders 2023!

Good luck to anyone trying to acquire this piece!
Salmon dial looks amazing
