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

Just Turned 40!!!
My iPhone shows I'm 40 now but my Diver doesn't. What a hell? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1351227781.496668.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1351227794.538425.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Watches are the new currency!

What if?
Many (albeit not all) of the concerns surrounding the 5270 I've heard lately revolve around the fact that since it is now using an in-house movement, there are overproduction fears.

Questions on DateJust 178240 - 31mm
My wife is interested in the DateJust 178240 - 31mm with Rhodium dial. Retail in Canada is $7100 cad and got quoted $6200 cad. So about 13% off. Is that a good deal or can I try to get more discount.I found the same sales guy that sold me my Date Sub 12 yrs ago. My Sub retail at the time was about $6250 cad and bought for $5100 cad (about 18% off).Questions:1. Is $6200 a good price for the DateJust ?2. Is the 2235 movement current ?3. Any changes to DateJust soon ?4. Is April a good month to buy ?I don't know too much about DateJust. Sorry if questions seem a bit dumb.

Stopped ticking
So sad. His younger brother, Subby, stopped ticking yesterday so he's now on his way to the RSC in Dallas to get fixed. He's lonely now without his companion next to him at nights. He'll have to do the daily duty for the next few weeks alone. That's stepping up. Dad's wondering how much this will cost him as it'll eat into the budget to get another brother this year.
