Mr. Genesis 0 Posted October 27, 2013 Hi everyone, So yesterday I got a new watch! An Alpha Paul Newman and I LOVE IT! So lets talk about the quality. Well the watch is good, the movement seems good and keeps great time. The band is okay and the clasp is very cheap, but it is comfortable and it's all I need to be happy. I took some pictures, enjoy! Oh and it's my favorite look of all watches so I'm gonna wear it alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyKrush 16 Posted November 2, 2013 Pretty sure that's a manual wind seagull SG2903 but could be wrong. What's the price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eadesy 6 Posted November 2, 2013 I have an alpha myself, not bad at all! Really like it, and trusted for the water resistance! . Where did you buy the Paul Newman from? Seconds at 9? What's the sweep like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
746_heuer 0 Posted November 2, 2013 yep 39mm...I just wish it were auto It is mechanical chhronometer on dial It's handwound I have an alpha myself, not bad at all! Really like it, and trusted for the water resistance! . Where did you buy the Paul Newman from? Seconds at 9? What's the sweep like? 21,600 bph, but since the seconds hand (at 9) is very small, the sweep seems smoother than on a watch with central seconds with the same bph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watch.aholic 538 Posted November 3, 2013 Those are some seriously nice pictures. Are they doctored? How do you click them with no dirt or lint showing even in micro shots? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BentleySharp 0 Posted November 21, 2013 Those are some seriously nice pictures. Are they doctored? How do you click them with no dirt or lint showing even in micro shots? You've got to keep the object cleaned with silk or microfiber or another material that doesn't leave debris behind. A lightbox also helps. I don't Photoshop or doctor any of my photos or macro shots and they come out looking clean and crisp too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Genesis 0 Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I have an alpha myself, not bad at all! Really like it, and trusted for the water resistance! . Where did you buy the Paul Newman from? Seconds at 9? What's the sweep like? I bought it on ebay for about 180$. Yes it is at 9 and sweeps good. Those are some seriously nice pictures. Are they doctored? How do you click them with no dirt or lint showing even in micro shots? I am pretty good with photoshop, but to be honest I almost did nothing on those pics. I took them when I got the watch. nice watch and great pics does this watch have good weight to it. Thanks! It does not have a good quality band so the weight is not super good. But it's not super cheap so I don't mind. :P Edited December 3, 2013 by Mr. Genesis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sbryantgb 0 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) That is absolutely gorgeous, great contrast in colour as well, I wasn't aware of Alpha watches so thank you for bringing them to my attention. Does yours have the display case back? Far better took look at than many quartz homages that are out there. I am now considering this as a next purchase.

Mr. Genesis 0 Posted March 10, 2015 My watch doesn't have a display caseback like this one, but I wish it would! Also, my watch doesn't work for the moment because of a click spring issue... It looks like it's common for that kind of movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave47 6,461 Posted June 1, 2015 I have the silver dialed version of this and just love it. Yes, it's hand wound but so what? Chronograph functions work quite well and feels solid on the 'ole wrist. Congrats on your catch. Enjoy!! dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raijin 0 Posted June 20, 2015 Congrats that's a nice looking piece. I have a question, are the pushers/crown screw down. I have a 1963 re-issued of the Chinese Air Force chrono and so far it's been a winner. It's a hand wound chrono pretty watch. The Newman looks very cool too.
