Also possible that Alpina had cancelled an order while Gruen needed more movements and accepted the Alpina marked plates. At that time the two companies had long separated and did not work together at all.
Hi Bernd. Would you then know the Alpina equivalent calibre number? I'd really like to take a look at it.
Ok thanks for feedback. Your theories make sense. While I understand that Alpina and Gruen were not known to be connected in this period, I thought it could be possibility...but still this movement Dan is referencing still interest me.
Check this out, upon closer inspection, in fact there does seem to be some mark on my movement in almost the exact same spot as Dan's Alpina mark🤷♀️ Just thought that was interesting too
