Alpina 12 Hours Of Sebring GMT Chrono Watch
2010 is the second year of Alpina being the official timekeeper for the storied 12 Hours of Sebring race in Florida. The manufacturer celebrated this partnership with the production of a limited edition, two-timezone chronograph creatively called the 12 Hours of Sebring Automatic Chrono GMT. The watch is strongly influenced by style elements of race cars. This concept, unless overdone like in several AP Offshores, works fantastically. The sporty, yet subtle style and quality specs of this watch appealed to me when I first received the press release but playing with the actual timepiece at Baselworld 2010 was when I really got to appreciate it.Perhaps the most distinctive element of Alpina watches is the Extreme Avalanche cases.

Help With S/N and Date of Manufacture
I have never been an expert. Let me just say that I bought a Brand New 16713 GMT Master II at a Miami AD in May 1997. Now looking at the charts on the internet the S/N starts with an N, it says that is was manufactured in 1991. I find it hard to believe that this renowned Jewlery store shelved that watch for 6 years before selling it to me. I have all the original box and papers and invoice. Any observations ?
