Simple Surfer: The Nixon Lodown Is An Ideal Tide Watch And Surfer's Companion
If you surf, you know that having an idea of what the tides are like is important. Tidal ebbs and wanes guide the size and position of the waves, and you don't want to waste your time wading in the sea. Tides variation occurs each day and is totally seasonal. In short, it is almost impossible to simply "predict" the tides. For that reason, it is a good idea to have some type of tide chart or indicator.Well, tidal watches have been around for a while, but the Lodown from Nixon is a particularly good one. It had 15 years of tidal information pre-programmed for 200 cities. The watches also have a full calendar, dual times, alarm stopwatch, countdown timer, and of course light. The best part is that all of these features, literally are accessible at "a glance." The sizable LCD screen features a daily tide chart where you are. You can easily tell what the day's tides are going to be like, and what the best time to hit the waves are. For novice surfers, that is usually at low tide, unless th

Forged Carbon 15706AU vs Ceramic Diver 15707CE
I found a very good price on a mint FC Diver 15706AU with 1 year extended warranty.My first preference was the ceramic 15707CE, but this FC is $6K less than the few ceramics I have been able to hunt down worldwide.My wrists don't handle the 44's and of all the 42's this is the lightest and sportiest I could find for use at gym, beach, activities etc. I hear the debate on FC and some of the issues with it, and honestly that is my only hesitation vs ceramic. Colors are fine on both. Yellow strap will be a definite accessory.I went through the whole lineup of AP 42's and these two are the finalists.Can any FC diver owners help put my mind at rest with the FC case?Or should I just wait and keep looking for a ceramic (and pay more).I am not holding my breathe that Basel 2018 will bring back the CE or FC diver... Though it would be niceCarbon-Diver.jpg

Dumb AP Diver question from ROO Owner
Hi all - Haven't had the opportunity to hold in person the AP Diver SS (or any of the AP divers for that matter) - Can I get a brief explanation of the timing bezel. 1. It appears to me that it rotates internally, would that be correct?2. If that is the case is the crown at the 50 (10:00) Position controlling that function and is it a screw down crown - can it be manipulated while under water?3. Anyone have any real dive experience with this watch or is the consensus that you just don't go there with this piece. I DO dive with my Rolex Sub.Thanks!Brian
