Linde Werdelin Oktopus 1,111m Titanium Watch With Black Lacquer Bezel
Linde Werdelin presents a new version of the ruggedly attractive Oktopus 1111m dive watch. I wrote about the original Linde Werdelin Oktopus watch here. The new version has a naked grade 5 titanium 46mm wide case with a new rotating diver's bezel that is inlaid with black lacquer. The minute markers are exposed making them very legible, while the black lacquer regions will have a deep glossy tone to them. The watch is matched to a soft black rubber strap with a very good locking fold over clasp.The Oktopus's dial is also black, but done differently being black galvanic with silver print. The hour indicators are rhodium plated and the lume all over the watch is in the now popular "diver's blue" as I call it. This is done with blue colored C3 SuperLumiNova. I highly appreciate the diver's style look that Linde Werdelin gave the Oktopus watch, and feel that this newest version maybe even more mainstream looking than the original.Aside from the black lacquer bezel, the Oktopus retains the

Kobold Polar Surveyor Duo On eBay Ending Nov-28-07 17:05:41 PST: Two Gold Watches To Lust After
You don't often see watches like this in pairs, but up on eBay for sale are a couple of 18k gold Kobold Polar Surveyor watches. One is all gold with the lovely metallic blue Kobold face, and other other is gold with a alligator strap and a black face. The bands are obviously interchangeable. Kobold watches are rare in the watch world for being an American company. Based out of Philadelphia, they use mostly swiss components are designed to be very rugged and functional. Knowing their upmarket appeal, Kobold does offer some of its pieces in gold as these two are.A Kobold watch is meant to be fully functional and reliable and deep depths, and very cold temperatures. Their base Valjoux 7750 movements have been modified to include a AM/PM indication. The reason for this is that when you are exploring the arctic poles, the day and nights can be very long (months on end). When this occurs, you do not have the luxury of the day/night phase to know what time it is. Thus the AM/PM indicator prov

EXCLUSIVE: Introducing The Piaget Altiplano 38mm 900P, The Thinnest Mechanical Watch In The World (Live Pics, Details, Pricing)
Piaget is the king of ultra-thin watches, holding more than a dozen records in various categories. This expertise goes all the way back to 1957 with the invention of the Calibre 9P, the first Piaget ultra-thin movement and what today is a real classic. To celebrate the mark's 140th anniversary, the Piaget has gone for the biggest record of all and released the Altiplano 900P, the world's thinnest mechanical watch. It has taken some serious technological breakthroughs to get to a staggering 3.65mm thin and the result is a surprisingly wearable watch. Here we have an exclusive first look at this amazing watch, complete with live photos and pricing.While Piaget holds many of the ultra-thin records, the overall thinnest mechanical watch title was previously held by Jaeger-LeCoultre for the Master Ultra-Thin Jubilee, which comes in at 4.05mm. But now, thinner by a full .4mm, the Altiplano 900P has climbed on top. Normally here we'd start talking about the thin movement and how i

Hacking mechanism won't disengage
Hi guys,So I took my panda for a spin today and as wound it and set the time I pushed the crown back in but the hacking mechanism won't disengage, I.e. I can't screw down the crown without the hands moving. Obviously it is going back to an AD for a service but I was wondering if this happened to any of you before and if there is anything I can do to fix it.Cheers

Perfect St. Patrick's Day Incoming!
It has been a few years since I have had a Rolex as I am more of an AP guy. However, this absolutely blew me away. The dial is unprecedented in the marketplace, the way the sun glistens and changes the color is remarkable. Just got it in today, couldn't be a more appropriate St Patrick's Day incoming!
