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

Hello,How long does the lume coating typically last on the ROC? Is it reasonable to expect the lume to continue absorbing light after a few years? Thanks!

Just bought a 5146 - no clasp!
Hi I got carried away at a viewing today and ended up buying a 5146 annual calendar from Watch&passion (i can't post links but a google search will find it).I am delighted with the watch, but i can't help noticing it didn't come with1. A deployment clasp in gold with emblem2. the two things that slide into the watch cushion (tag and tool?)is this a deal breaker, and should i return it?I really want the clasp, as i think it makes the watch look special from underneath, maybe i can buy it separately? what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Would a rubber accordion strap look good on a 111?
Debating...I have a deployant standard rubber ( panerai text) strap, but thinking of the accordion / tang buckle set up.

Datejust2 116300 on strap???
Hi everyone, looking at getting a white dial sports daily wear. I have explorer 2 black dial already or else I'd get the polar. I'm looking at datejust41, does anyone use it as a daily wear on a strap or is that just in bad taste?I've looked online and seems to be hardly any pictures of datejust41 on anything but a bracelet, there's a few on nice alligator straps and it looks amazing but obviously that's for dress..Any input or suggestions would be awesome!Thanks
