Price: $580 (free shipping + a free NATO). Not bad.
Interesting approach to the date window. At the 4 o'clock but horizontal as if it were at the 3. That might not be unique, but it's the first time that I can recall seeing it.
Good eyes. Actually, it's not their first, the Glycine Incursore has the same set up. For me, what pops is the date in red on black.

Please keep us informed of how they resolve it and we'll keep our collective fingers crossed for you! I'm about to place an order from them for an Alpina Alpiner and am now a bit more nervous about it.
Just got a full refund for the Oris.

Pilot's Navigator Tritium, Acrylic, 41mm no date: $139.95 normally $290, only black & sage colors available

$140 for the no-date is very tempting, the sapphire versions just came out $300 no date, $320 with date.
Do these watches have fixed lugs or just standard spring bars? The Marathon website doesn't say and I can't tell from any of their photos (they don't show the cases from behind.) I think for a nonmetal case I would prefer a fixed lug. I've had the holes get wallowed out on plastic-cased watches before.

NAD.

Quick cash back check: is Top Cash Back not offering cash back on ToM for all of you as well, or is this specific to my account?

FWIW, I'm still waiting for CB on a purchase in December (it's still marked as "pending") but am not holding my breath.

Last week I purchased the following Alpina from CWS, and after reading about an Oris bought from them which was received in poor condition and some speculation that they might be selling refurbished stock I thought I should share details of my transaction.

When I made the purchase a week ago the Alpina was listed at $550 on eBay with the Make Offer option. After a few offers trying to get the best price I could the lowest they would agree to was $540, which I found pretty silly having the option and taking time of offers going back and forth if they're only willing to give an additional discount of $10! In any case I really wanted this variation and the price was reasonable so I went ahead with the purchase. I was also able to use $70 of eBay Bucks I had earned so my net cost was just $470. Shortly after I made payment I saw that they raised the listed price to $599 which is where it stands now, still with the Make Offer option available.

I received the watch yesterday and can assure you that it's brand new and factory fresh, in flawless condition with all protective plastic on the watch case and bracelet. The detailed finishing of the coin edge bezel is also perfect, and that's an area where I've seen some imperfections on other samples of this series. Very pleased with this watch and wanted to confirm that this Alpina from CWS on eBay was perfect and not refurbished stock. :D

Here's a pretty realistic picture of this model which I grabbed off the internet, I can't take credit for it but just sharing for anyone interested.

That’s a nice looking Alpina

I see the same thing on TCB. No cashback right now for ToM.

Nice... I got all three colors ( black and white on leather, blue on bracelet).

Someone mentioned earlier that sizing the bracelet was a bear, oh boy was he or she right!

And to add to that experience, I attempted to regulate the blue version ( since it was running +20 seconds a day) and as if I am in a dream, actually a nightmare; the screw on the balance wheel refused to turn,ImageImage and it even bent the tip of my screwdriver!!

For those who like a good affordable homage watch. It seems WRwatches.com is running a 10% off the entire store sale. They are closed for Chinese New Year (Year of the Rat) and will open back up on the 2nd of February.

They sent me an email but there is no code. It takes off the 10% in the cart.
