New Linde Werdelin Sea Instrument: Luxury Computer Diving Instrument
As if the existing range of diving computers was not enough, Linde Werdelin felt it necessary to expand their "Instrument" lineup with the Sea Instrument to compliment the Land Instrument. Sounds reasonable enough. If you recall, the Linde Werdelin Land Instrument (discussed here) is a high-end computer that sits on your wrist either in a little watch harness or on top of a Linde Werdelin Biformeter watch (they don't come together). While the Land Instrument covered such areas such as weather, altitude, and heart rate (among other functions), the Sea Instrument is meant to be a diver's companion thus showing different important pieces of information related to being underwater.Included among the Sea Instrument's features are depth gauges, dive times, decompression times, temperature, and other important data. Unlike the Land Instrument, this new model has a color display, and shares the nice sapphire crystal. The case itself comes in anodized aluminum, as well as a limited edition 18k

After thoughts and decisions
So, after purchasing the 560, I have come to realize that now is probably the best time to buy Panerai watches. Prices are more affordable and there are less craze over it. Before, it used to be so hard to find stock in HK AND the prices were just outrageous. Anyways, so after wearing the 560 for a few days, I find myself looking more and more about the history and styles of Panerai. The more I look, the more i want to purchase another one!!! So now I am also eyeing the 510 or the 01312.The thing I don't particular like about the 01312 is the word automatic. I know the 510 is very similar with the 560 except for the extra seconds hand. So now I must think carefully which one to consider.

Discontinued...!!!
Just curious as to how many of you all develop more interest in a watch once you hear that it's been...Discontinued!!!

SD43 (SD50) what if...
I am sure I will get crucified for this but here goes... I keep hearing rumors the Red Sea dweller font is one year only. Now, I am 99.999% sure that is NOT going to happen. BUT, what if? What would the piece be worth in your option if the red font is a one year only run? Asking just for fun, zero interest in selling and again I am sure it won't happen but fun to discuss!Yeti
