Stunning LTD edition Alpinist

I love everything about it other than the strap

I found that Halifax watch still had one so I contacted Joshua with many questions and he answered them all super-fast, which is always a good indication of professionalism.So I bit the bullet, ordered the watch, and received it the following day! Wow, that is a new record!Everything arrived nicely wrapped and in perfect condition. The workmanship is superb in person. This watch is exactly what I was looking for… an exceptionally versatile model, relatively high-end but also not flashy.II am extremely happy and satisfied with the watch and also with the help and support that I got from HalifaxWatch.I Would buy again from them in a heart beat and would not hesitate to recommend this shop to any watch aficionado.A grateful customer from Victoria BC
