As Anyone Spotted an Alpine Eagle?

The proportions of this disturbs me somehow

Why can't they get those screws aligned at least approximately...

 

[rockdaytona]

I love it but hate the bracelet system lol

I wonder if the screws can be aligned by a watch smith?

It should be a simple task for a watch smith, a bit of Loctite would help if needed...?

I can try to realign them myself. I believe it’s the same system like APs where you unscrew them from the caseback and realign the top without a screwdriver

Are you conus? I might buy one and let you borrow. Misaligned screws are concerning

 

[VenomGT3]

Gosh dang it. So it’s simple enough to do, remove the corresponding screw from the back, then twist the bezel screw to the desired angle. Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell which way the screw is supposed to turn and it takes a bit of force to get them moving, on some of them the screwdriver ate up a bit of them

I modeled it after this gen

So clockwise or counterclockwise ?
Or totally random ?

Based on the bites of the screw, counterclockwise. Lol

 

[rockdaytona]

I’ll order this one

 

[rico_roma_r]

I’ll order this one

Excuse me, Sir. Is that titanium one?

 

[suppish]

Yep

QC is in I like it!!!

 

[Feefo]

What's the TD price for this?
And, somewhat unrelated, but if someone bothered to rep this Chopard, there must be a factory doing the GP Laureato?

Is the screw material too soft or is the screws too tight to turn or is it because your screwdriver is too small?
