People are raving about the Alpine Eagle, but has anybody seen one in our neck of the woods?

I tried the blue dial version few weeks ago at Geneva airport. As I m going back tomorrow I will try the grey one. I think it is absolutely gorgeous but somehow not worth the asking price.. can’t wait for a decent rep ;)

The dial would be difficult to replicate, even the photos of the gen don't capture the texture and detail well. If they can do it well, it would be an excellent alternative to the PP Nautilus, AP 15400/500 etc

In my opinion, it's more like a vintage VC Overseas (bracelet and dial layout) mixed with a Hublot Big Bang (bezel) . It's really more of an homage to the VC Overseas than either the PP Nautilus or AP Royal Oak.

Would love to see one of these. The texture on that dial is pretty awesome and both the blue and grey look awesome. Unfortunately, I doubt the makers would develop one of these any time soon. Not sure how big the Chopard market is in China.

White looks good indeed... well if you don’t look too closely at the the way markers are aligned lol

Blue is totally wrong colour, black is fantasy

Looking forward to see some QC pictures

For me the big tell is the datewheel font, its really too small compared to the Gen
