Linde Werdelin Land Instrument II - The Rock
Computer technology, unlike wrist watch technology, has no choice but to be upgraded continuously. So here is the upgraded Land Instrument from Linde Werdelin. What is it you may ask (for those uninitiated)? In a nutshell, it is a sensor-based device that gives you lots of important information using data collected from an internal compass, barometer, altimeter, inclination meter, and separate (but wirelessly connected thermometer). It also has an optional wireless heart rate monitor that straps around your chest. Using all this information in conjunction with the native ability to process it and store it - gives you an instrument, the Land Instrument II to be exact (now called "The Rock"). Along with that, there are basic functions including alarms, stopwatches, the time, and lots of logging capabilities. The Rock now also features that ability to connect with a GPS device. For a good idea of the functions of a Linde Werdelin Land Instrument, read my review here.Technical Specificatio

Wearing A Fortis Square Watch Does Not Make You A Square
Once in a while these days a simple watch comes out that is attractive and competent without being overly classic. The Fortis Square has a name about as simple as the watch itself. The appeal is there, yet beguiling. Fortis is known for making well built professional watches worn by pilots, astronauts, and similar demanding users. No current Fortis watch is a meant to be a jewelry watch, or anything too far detached from a functional companion. The majority of their cases are matte finished or sand blasted for a decidedly sober look. Though I would not classify any Fortis as boring. Instead the watches are instruments, meant to serve a dedicated purpose.The Fortis Square is a in fact a perfect 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch square (not taking into consideration the lugs). It is basically a round watch in a square case, but something separates it from the legion of other square watches out there. When looking at the Fortis Square, you will notice the inset face. Meaning the inner bezel tapers dow

15450 dial color choice
Which one is your favorite dial color for 15450 and why?I would think that white would be the favorite because it gives the illusion of a bigger dial which works well with the 37 mm size. However, it seems a lot of people were waiting for the blue dial to be added.

TT vs Bi-Metal
I know that for some here the notion of purchasing a TT SS/YG or SS/RG watch isn't appealing due to it only being made partly of 18kt gold.The argument being that a TT buyer can't afford a full gold version so is compensating by getting a model with as much gold as possible.But, I really really find TT watches attractive. The white metal vs the yellow/rose gold metal....color wise....in of itself....just works beautifully.I am a 70s child and a lot of TT were available.When I look at some current Rolex TT models:TT YG/SS Blue SubTT RG/SS Blue YM2TT RG/SS Chocolate YM2The color combinations of the models above...the colors of the various metals....silver/white for the SS part when paired with the yellow or rose gold of the second metal.....that bi metal look....that TT look....I just find incredibly satisfying and really attractive.I was wondering for those in the group of solid gold or ss...if the TT models were actually 100% gold.....ie....WG/YG TT or WG/RG TT...as opposed to SS for t
