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

44mm Rose Gold Offshore
Guys,I am really loving the way the 44mm ROO fills my wrist and there is only one left amongst all the AD of London. Does the 44mm Rose Gold Offshore look odd with a suit or tux? Is it inappropriate for a work atmosphere?Is it not the right watch for someone who doesn't have a few other, dressier watches?The dealer said they are releasing a really nice leather strap for the Rose Gold Offshore. Have any of you seen the watch on a nice leather, or even better, a horn leather strap? Does the Rubber look better? Pics would be great.Thanks,Farris

Strap recommendations for Radiomirs like a PAM 512?
Starting this thread to get some nice strap ideas/recommendations for a PAM 512. What straps do people favor for their PAM 512s and other Radiomirs?Currently I have the watch on a brown gator strap from B&R bands:Looks good on a honey colored fossil strap as well:

Just received, One Two Seven.
After 10 years of wanting and wanting. I finally made the dream a reality yesterday. PAM00127 1950. This was the Panerai that made me aware if the brand back in 2003 and finally a complete, full UK set was available from a local Risti. Sacrificed my DSSD and 372 to purchase it but my bi-metal 116613LB sub is next going to be flipped for another DSSD as soon as a trade comes along. Very happy with it. Need to edit my signature at the bottom now. Had a quick pic with my 26 and 232 as they were to hand. Loved my 372 but with this in the box I know which I'd pick up everytime. Have a great weekend everyone. UTC
