Alpina Goes Vintage with the Seastrong Diver Heritage
The popularity of ‘heritage’ models from established watch manufactures is still going strong this year at Baselworld 2016, and Alpina has joined the fray with a strong entry. In 1967 Alpina produced an EPSA Super Compressor cased diver called the Alpina 10. This was one of many Super Compressor divers made during that era, and the Alpina 10 is a rare and desirable model for collectors these days. Now nearly 50 years later, Alpina has launched the Seastrong Diver Heritage, and modern interpretation of that classic Alpina 10. Much like Longines did with the Legend Diver, Alpina has taken their vintage classic and given it a modern update.The Seastrong Diver Heritage is a sleek and understated diver. The stainless steel case is 42mm wide and 12.3mm thick and will have a sapphire BOX crystal, with a water resistance of 30 bar or 1000ft. This makes it much larger than the original, but as wrist shots show, it fits very nicely, and wears a bit smaller than expected.The caseback

Impulse Anniverary Buy
I figured after 19 years of marriage- poor girl deserves something nice for putting up with me. We were out and about and I had seen this on her before and today we pulled the impulsive trigger. Happy anniversary to my beautiful bride.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My path to this new DJ36 (pics)
Morning everyone - I could spend hours writing; however, I will just share a bit of background leading to my most recent acquisition, a 116200. I have had them all (in the stainless sports line); 11610, 116610, 14060, the DJ II, 16710, GMT BLNR and GMT LN, Expy II Polar and Explorer 36. I have had my share of Omegas as well. Nothing really fit quite right, or went perfect with my daily outfits - alternating between suits/dress clothes daily for work to the super casual on weekends. So, after much searching, some flipping, I believe I have found the perfect watch for me. The size is perfection, although it took about a week for my eyes to adjust. My wrist is just 7 inches. For anyone out there struggling with choosing a less-popular model than the beautiful SS sports models, go for it. You will be happy. The legibility, the comfort, the accuracy. I love it. Here are some pictures of my 116200 DJ 36.
