Simple Surfer: The Nixon Lodown Is An Ideal Tide Watch And Surfer's Companion
If you surf, you know that having an idea of what the tides are like is important. Tidal ebbs and wanes guide the size and position of the waves, and you don't want to waste your time wading in the sea. Tides variation occurs each day and is totally seasonal. In short, it is almost impossible to simply "predict" the tides. For that reason, it is a good idea to have some type of tide chart or indicator.Well, tidal watches have been around for a while, but the Lodown from Nixon is a particularly good one. It had 15 years of tidal information pre-programmed for 200 cities. The watches also have a full calendar, dual times, alarm stopwatch, countdown timer, and of course light.

The 60th retails for a little over 7k but is selling at a premium pre-owned. What am I missing, besides the fact that the 60th is a Limited Edition of a whopping 3557 pieces?

Panerai Display Box
Anyone else have pics with multiple Panerai 's in one shot? Several of your own or maybe from a display like this? I took this shot today of the Panerai display box at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills. Love these two together. Pam512 and Pam514 are a sweet combo. uploadfromtaptalk1407480921739.jpg
