I'm pretty sure it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I like it. Seiya used to sell similar Alba Hyper-Tech models a few years ago. They were released in the '90s, but have long since been out of production. Great value, neat designs. Regards, Bryan That’s an interesting watch, Sjors.

Now I saw something weird. Check out this Alba model. It looks like a weird ProTrek G-Shock mix up, but with a design of it's own: <div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z280/G-Sjors/c0122907_1245324.jpg" /></div> Cheers, Sjors Hi Brian,

I'm a big Alba fan. Really, it's amazing the price/value ratio Seiko's sub-brands exude. BTW, in Japan it's Alba that makes Mickey Mouse watches. Even Japanese Emperor Hirohito wore one. The kind that show the time with Mickey's hands. I'd sort of like one of those. Regards, Bryan Hi Paul,

It is a lot easier now, to relate to the various lines, as there seem to be a lot of lines. I used to be very uncertain, as far as how to deal with Lorus and Alba, for example. The Lorus company, for me, was possibly even a Disney company, so I stayed away from Lorus watches. Now that you straightened that out, my idea does seem a little nuts. Paul.
