Anybody dealt with Alpha watches?Has anyone bought a watch from Alpha Watches? I'm thinking of buying one from their website but would feel easier if I knew someone who has traded with them. :?

I bought an Alpha homage Explorer II about 9 months ago.
I got it from an eBay trader in Hong Kong who trades as collector_898.
The watch cost US$45, but he charges a bit for shipping. US$18
The watch arrived OK and was packaged well.
It worked OK but the GMT hand was a bitch to set. I had it for about 6 weeks when it started going haywire. Losing approx 1 hour in 24. The GMT hand was as useless as a LD.
I guess I should've sent it back, but I got so anal with it, I chucked it out. I base this on once a lemon always lemon.
I read that some have had no problem with this brand. Other folks have experienced problems similar to mine with Alpha.
No more 'homage' watches for me. I'd rather buy 4 or 5 bottles of good red for the same money.
