35 dollars shipped from china! 20 bucks for the watch and fifteen for shipping. The bracelet is screws not push pins and a real mop dial, this one gets a fair amount of wrist time and is now my favorite beater . I think everyone should own at least one Alpha! A lot of fun on real short money

Hey Warren it looks like the Alpha has a loose screw. Oh yea and be very careful with the crown they seem to fall right off. ;D

The crown on this one is fine. It's hit or miss with these Alphas, sometimes you get lucky. What do expect for twenty bucks? By the way this one runs about +3 a day believe it or not! Not your typical alpha by any standard.

Wow... look at that watch. Rolex has clearly stolen the design for their Datejust model! Seriously, nice Alpha. Do Alphas have some kind of Chinese automatic movement - or quartz?

It's a 21 jewel automatic, hacking and a screw down crown. I beat the crap out of this one, get it wet, smash it into doorknobs etc. and it still runs better than +5 a day. I don't know if this is typical for all Alpha's, I doubt it ,I think this one is a fluke.
