Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed Chronograph Watch
I think that the perlage polish applied base dial will be a stunning design element on this new watch from Linde Werdelin. With a release date of around May 2011, the new SpidoSpeed is the next iteration of the SpidoLite watch concept, and the brand's first chronograph model. The relatively svelte case needed to be increased by 3mm in height to incorporate the mechanical chronograph movement. I actually like that - as the design of the case can accommodate a chunky look quite well. The watch is now 44mm wide by 15mm tall.The SpidoSpeed is in steel, not titanium. Will there be future models in titanium? Probably. What you see here is only the first "Series A" model of the watch. There will be 100 pieces of this version, and after that Linde Werdelin likely has a few tricks up their sleeve for other versions. You can see the complex make up of the case, and the nearly integrated chronograph pushers. Prone to now using interesting movements, inside the SpidoSpeed is a Concepto caliber 225

Nautilus case question
Can someone please explain if the modern Nautilus case differs in size on different references? I recently tried on a 5712 and it felt a lot thicker than I remember the 5711 being when I tried it on.

Patek ; Macro movements pics
Older pictures but imo worth to repost them :-)They do know how to finish movements at Patek Philippe :-)and the watch itself

What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word Panerai?
For me it is the crownguard.
