Alpina Sailing Collection Chronograph
In honor of a new Alpina sponsorship that I could care less about comes a watch that I do care about. Apparently, this one is the first in a "Sailing Collection" of watches made for Sailing. This Chronograph model is a regatta timer - a first, I believe, for the Swiss brand. Regatta timers are used for helping sailors to carefully line up their boats with the beginning of a yacht race. They are, basically, modified 10 minute countdown timers. Unless you are sailing, they are pretty much useless for anything aside from imprecise 10 minute countdowns. The good news is that they are relatively diminutive on the dial and add a fun sense of color. Plus, you get to explain to people who don't own deck shoes what a regatta is.The chronograph is based on a modified SW500 automatic movement that is Sellita's take on the ETA Valjoux 7750.

Which exact speedy is this?
Hi All,Newbie here. I bought this about 14 years ago. I remember it was a Schumacher edition (the first I think) but not sure of the model. I had it restored a year ago by Stahl since they are local (no affiliation)..americaswatchmaker/Anyway, its basically perfect with a new OE Omega bracelet. They said it is fairly rare. Ok, cut to the chase. I have a brand new GMT and don't really need both watches. I literally just got the GMT and am wearing for a few days to make sure I like it before I do anything. I love the Omega but it is a PAI to keep the day, date, month correct.......so its always off. Plus I'm getting somewhat bored with it. Can you guys let me know what model it is and an approximate value? This isn't a thread to sell. I just want to know what I have. Also ready for the flames

If someone force me only to keep 2 watches
it could be those.
