Not vintage like some of the cool watches pictured here, but an Alpina nevertheless (and yes, I was also thinking this might show some BMW's)

Todays Alpina have a good eye for design!

Here's mine from around 1930. It's a ladies' model in 14K green and white gold.

Not my Alpina, but one a friend stirred up, in Denmark when he visited an elderly retired watchmaker. Alpina 572C automatic, (A Schild calibre 1701), 25-jewels, Dial marked President, steel case. Circa mid-1960s, and had never been worked on until I conditioned it for the owner.

1931 Swiss lever escapement, blue Breguet overcoil.
It looks brand new! Very cool dial. I鈥檓 trying to get educated on assessing the case materials, is this silver or a silveroid/silver-nickel case?
