Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moonphase Watch
Hardcore diving watches with moon phase complications? Not too many of those around. Sure the concept seems paradoxical, but when you think about it, there could be a functional component to this power combo of uses. Some divers need to be aware of the tides, and the tides are influenced by moon. There could be some correlation here? Maybe that is a stretch, but when it comes down to it such a small percentage of dive watch owners actually dive. The style of the watch is more an indicator of build strength and the wearer's personality these days. So while most dive watches are up to "the task," few of them are actually called upon for deep duty.Nevertheless the Linde Werdelin Oktopus dive watch has you covered in most any sport watch contingency, and this new version adds an interesting style of moonphase indication to the dial. The movement used is also very interesting. I originally discussed the Linde Werdelin Oktopus watch here (while look at that article check at the bottom for a

Turned 40...Wife always delivers...incoming tomorrow.
Not usually a big fan of long in coming threads, but in this case could not help myself. I turned 40 last month. My wife and I went on a weekend vacation this past weekend, and while we were there she suggested we go in the AD, who we know and have bought multiple watches from, to just check out what they have, since 40 is a big deal apparently. I had mentioned to her that I might be interested in getting a James Cameron deep sea, and I know they've had several in the past. She seemed amenable to that. We walked in, and were immediately met at the door with a hug by the owner we know well, who happens to be from her hometown. Anyway, he proceeds with oh my gosh, your timing is perfect. We just received a watch this morning that we ordered in April of last year, and haven't even logged it into stock yet. It is only the second one of these we have ever received . When he told me what it was, I immediately thought wow, great watch, probably more than wifey would want spent on a timepie

President Bracelet on a 16238?
It is my understanding that Rolex has never offered any 36-mm models other than the Day-Date with a President bracelet. So imagine my surprise when I saw an E-series 16238 with a President's bracelet. I figure it has to be an aftermarket bracelet or a post-sale swap.But the bracelet fits the head like it was made for it. No unsightly gaps; it looks like the end pieces were made for the 16238. And the bracelet appears genuine, and it has the proper hallmarks. I assume this is an after-sale swap. Does that make sense? Or is this one of those non-catalog/special order deals? Occam's Razor says the former, but I figure individuals on this board have more knowledge.
