I'm hoping for an Alpha.

It is not an Alpha. I ordered the watch on bracelet now I am waiting for a strap to make it a complete package. Once I have everything, I will post a pic.

What are you doing? Bracelets are way better than straps!

I finally got around to taking a photo of the watch that will be given away on April 22, 2013. After some thinking, I decided that the Hirsch Carbon water resistant strap (22mm to 20mm) will fit this watch nicely so I ordered one and put it on to see how it looks like. It's thick, Breitling style, with light stitching. IMHO, it looks great! The bracelet still has all the plastic on it and I will include it in the package that gets sent to the lucky one.

I like the looks of the carbon strap on the watch. Sent from my DROIDX using proboards

I do too! I think it looks GREAT.
The watch is 42mm and it takes a 22mm strap. Since the dimensions are the same as the Aerospace I thought that a heavily padded Breitling style strap would be a good match for it.

Here is an iPhone shot of it that shows the OEM bracelet as well. A complete package! I went for the watch made in Japan instead of the cheaper, Malaysia made one.

Ahhhhhh Dahm. I ordered couple of Sekio 5's for dad and father in law. Great watches.
Too late to the thread. Would have guessed the 5 but not this model.
Cheers
