Hi there,Welcome to my auction for my beautiful Alpina Startimer Pilot  -  Limited Edition watch 44mm.I bought this in 2013 - and have worn it (sparingly). Its one of several watches I own - so it has never been worn constantly.  Its a beautiful watch, feels lovely on the wrist, nice and weighty  - and its 44mm feels pretty masculine. The watch is in excellent condition. I paid 2k for it in Nov 2013 and am being realistic about the purchase price here. These ARE possible to find new - with prices ranging from 2.2K to 1.9K. If you're after a new one from the States remember you'll have to stump up for customs, VAT and Import duty on top of the purchase price.I'm selling it - to raise funds for a loft conversion. I have other watches which I can use and so after some soul searching I've decided this is one luxury item I can probably do without. The watch is in fabulous condition  - with the strap only showing signs of wear. The case, movement and face are all in excellent condition. there are no scratches, dings or blemishes. The watch is being sold with its original Alpina presentation case AND the Certificate of Authenticity that accompanied the watch when I purchased it. The serial number on the COA (of course) matches those on the case / movement of the watch. This is a 100% authentic timepiece in beautiful condition.Alpina are a great brand -  their automatic movements are made in-house - and you really do get value for money on these watches. Comprable models from Tag Heuer, IWC and others would easily be £4k plus.
