··Ωf Jury memberNo! By which I mean, I can't, at least at the moment. The movement is actually quite difficult to uncover, and my watchmaker, bless his seventy-something-year-old heart, forgot to take photos while servicing it. And the kicker is that it is extremely well finished...grrrrr.
One of these days I will force him to open it up again, and i'll take some photos.

··Home For Wayward WatchesA nice brand, Alpina. The vintage ones appeal. Very clean, attractive dials with the pleasingly simple "Alpina" logo.

·Had a couple down the years, but only one now:
Issued Alpina K.M.(Kriegsmarine) 592. Great little watch actually. Good reserve and very good timekeeper. Pity the cases were plated as they don't wear the years well. "Patina" I suppose. 😀

·Happy to found this thread:
I recently found one special - Alpina 10 Seastrong with hundreds of dives, including first explorations of WW2 wreck SS Antares
I found it on some swedish website. I could not believe the story I discovered after I bought it. Alpina belonged to a nowadays 72 years old diver Ingemar (still living and doing well) that got the watch in 1962 from his father at the age of 16. And now comes the funny part. This Alpina 10 watch has hundreds of dives on its crystal. Ingemar used it also when diving on the wrecks of german SS Antares in the early sixties. He and his friends were the first to dive on this wreck of cargo ship that was sunk by the British submarine HMS Sunfish on April 1940 after the German invasion of Norway. Ingemar was only 16 years old, with his Alpina on his wrist. It were very risky dives, often strong current, bad sight, as wrecks rests at a depth of 53 meters on a bottom of mud. Back then Ingemar and his friends had to ask local fishermen where to seek for the wreck. Ingemar was one of the pioneers in sportsdiving in Sweden and Alpina was part of the story. After 56 years it is great to see that this Alpina diver watch did exactly what it was meant to. And it did resist it very well. Because the story continues. The watch was in drawer since 1985. So it was laid still for last 33 years. Until I got it few weeks ago. And watch is running smoothly, beeing late only few seconds a day.
