I do but it doesn't have a diving helmet on it or a rubber dive strap it's also a 100M

Really tough not to buy one (or 2) of these.
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
Even though I have the older model, I'm really thinking about this one. The disc is an interesting and unobtrusive way to display a second time zone. I'm used to the fourth hand design, but this is nearly as effective and less apt to cause confusion at a quick glance.
The 100 meter rating doesn't bother me. I trust Alpina to make it truly 100 meters resistant which is more than I'll ever need.
The 23mm strap width is a bit challenging, but here are still options even with that oddball size.

Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
Did they have the salmon dial?
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
i love the little mini crystal they have over the date window....My old Nimo Pro had that, cool detail.
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
Yowza, missed all of this somehow ! Loved this watch before, but now...Wow !!!
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
It's a great looking watch with JLC Alarm type center disk. Very comfortable on the wrist.
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
i just sold my Evant today and itching to perhaps spin those funds into this watch....lol
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
Really torn here due to the Gray market and Alpina. Last time i got totally F'd buying an ALpina from my AD at a good discount only to find them months later at like half price on Joma sites etc. My/Brices/Arts and others AD said this week Alpina has really cleaned up the Gray market but man i don't wanna take a bath again if not really accurate.
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
Agreed. It's worth it of you keep it a year or so but will lose your shirt if it's a flip.ericf4 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 11:18 amReally torn here due to the Gray market and Alpina.

I gotta see the light blue version to make up my mind.
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
For kicks i just looked at Joma and seems the alpina i have is now like $765 there where it was like $400 before....thankfully back in line with what i paid. Albeit theirs is BNIB and now mine is a year old.
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
That's good to hear. They're really much better watches than Gemnation and Jomashop were giving them away for.
The good news is that with AD you obviously get a manufacturer's warranty which is worth something vs. Joma

Keep in mind black Friday sales are coming, with Christmas sales not too far behind.
Being the first to have something new is not worth the price you usual pay imo.

Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
my prob is i dont like waiting until something is old news, i like being on the bleeding edge and that usually costs me...
Re: Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic GMT
Gnomon has a deal on these at the moment. Code is alp100 to get the price to $980.
