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

Would you buy a broken Speedmaster?
If presented with the opportunity to get a Speedmaster (circa 1999-2000) in great external shape, but with a broken mainspring, would you buy it? The price is in the $350 range, because the seller acknowledges the issue and the cost of repair that I would incur. If the mainspring is the only issue, how much do you think the repair cost would be? With all of that information in mind, does that seem a fair price for what I've described?

Double Sealed meaning? And little brown box
I've been browsing around at Aquanauts and I'm slightly confused about the lingo. What does double and single sealed mean? What are those little brown boxes with the barcodes on them? Does that mean it was recently serviced by Patek? Please excuse me of my lack of knowledge on this subject. Any guidance would be much appreciated! All the best,Glenn

How long did you wait to purchase your first Rolex?
I'm curious... after deciding on the exact watch you wanted, how long did you wait until you purchased it? Did you already have the money set aside or did your savings begin at that point? Was it for a special occasion or just because?I'll start:1) By the time I take possession of my watch, it will be about 2 1/2 years from the time I first decided I had to have it until the time that I'm wearing it. 2) I didn't have the money set aside and started a special savings fund for it once I decided on the model I wanted (my avatar - 178341 chocolate dial with scattered diamond bezel and oyster bracelet).3) Long story short, my 43rd birthday has very special significance and I'm gifting it to myself for that occasion (this November).
