Not typically a fan of gem setting but these Alpine Eagles are quite tastefully done. Really digging the white and green combination, classy but with a bit of personality. I aspire to own an Alpine Eagle one day. I find the watch (and Chopard as a whole) quite slept on.

Butthole dial lol

[–] 1900hustler@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’d take any of these over the AE41 with the date window lol

[–] alfis329@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You could not pay me to wear this watch

[–] EngineQuick6169@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Steel/titanium with no gems would be nice

[–] Noooofun@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is Chopard Alpine Eagle expensive, and does it come without all the gem settings in the bezel?

[–] UnspecifiedUserID@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes it's not hideous.

[–] ghostisic23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They’re hideous

I'd rock the blue dial/sapphire set watch. But at $85,000, I don't ever see myself in the economic bracket where that purchase is feasible.

[–] Osobady@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like the blue and gold

[–] 64Olds@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wtf? No. Just no.

[–] MakingShitAwkward@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would rather scoop my own eyes out with a rusty tetanus riddled spoon than look at one of these again.

I am clearly not the target audience for these, but no thank you.

[–] Papa_Huggies@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I thought I'd hate it but the more I look at it the more I like it.

More as a work of art than something I'd actually wear though.

My first thought was AP

[–] Kanzzer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The people who buy these watches usually see buy them on the spot when they walk in the boutiques for these (definitely not WIS, but with plenty of disposable income of course).

[–] PeteyTwoHands@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely not my thing. They're a bit...crass.

[–] Fuckoakwood@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cost of these?

[–] Mister_Barksworth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Awake-Now@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not for me.

[–] CDR_Starbuck@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well if the have a double butterfly deployment clasp as closure I'm out. 😄

[–] TheMightyWill@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think they look neat. But I just know they're going to be horrendously overpriced

[–] Jamadagni-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

These look like football player watches.

Citizen Series 8 Gold-Tone homage :))))

[–] LeonidMacintosh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Do people actually wears those

[–] TakingADumpRightNow@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Are these men’s watches? They don’t look like men’s watches.

Mom: ‘We have Pearlmaster at home’

[–] WiseguyPokerClub@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not a huge fan. But if I only had these choices, I'd choose the one with the green bezel.

[–] goldblumspowerbook@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I too want a diamond-encrusted butthole.

[–] GoodOmenBadOmen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was kind of hoping for a brown dial and chocolate diamond version for this reason 😄

[–] McWatt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think gems set in a bezel is never a good look. Sometimes it can work on a woman's watch but never on a unisex or men's watch. The dials are interesting but the bezels and integrated bracelet on these look like shit. Too gaudy.

[–] Batuga505@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I hate Stones on watches

[–] escopaul@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The butthole dial is finally gettin dat DRiP!

[–] Snowbrawler@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ew who wants Miami Vice colors on a watch... How much is it?

[–] Cultural_Syrup_1267@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Breitling anyone?…..

[–] Agoeve@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sad to see them go the route of rapper and TikTok star

[–] Lemonlaksen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They copied the design from some aliexpress watches

Ugh I wish they'd stop trying to make Alpine Eagle happen... it's not going to happen. No part of this design is well executed. It's like they tried to copy a VC Overseas, but never saw one, and only had some kid's description to go off of. If you want an integrated bracelet sports watch and can't get / can't afford a RO or Nautilus, there are plenty of good options that cost way less and are far nicer.

[–] 80H-d@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is gonna depreciate like crazy in the used market and will be a solid pickup there (40-55K would be appropriate for this)

[–] noctalla@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love how the dial texture looks like an anus.

[–] dyonstadd1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fashion watch territory....

[–] Proton189@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Chopard is a wannabe Cartier 🤦‍♂️

[–] Fit-Atmosphere2075@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like some citizen.
