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 best part is that all of these features, literally are accessible at "a glance." The sizable LCD screen features a daily tide chart where you are.

Breitling Transocean Chrono vs JLC Master Chrono?
Hi! Thinking of a more dressy chrono these days and how been wondering what is considered a better watch for the price...Breitling Transocean Chrono or JLC Master Chrono? JLC is about $2K more expensive but probably a lot more rare, hence hold value better. If I liked both, what is your take on these two beauties?

Most comfortable model
I was wondering what was the most comfortable model Patek. Obviously a lot of factors contribute to determining comfort (bracelet, hairy wrist, wrist shape, weight of metal, case size, etc). Just looking at pictures or trying something on at the AD isn't insightful enough to opine on the topic IMO. What's your most comfortable Patek and why?

New Panerai PAM600 Radiomir Minute Repeater Tourbillon GMT
Panerai PAM600 Radiomir Minute Repeater Tourbillon GMTA day that many of us wondered would ever come. Panerai after years of research has released their first ever minute repeater model. Of course Panerai had to do things a little differently with their minute repeater. Instead of the second gong striking for every 15 minutes, Panerai's model does it for each 10 minute interval which cuts down on the chimes and makes it easier to tell the time from the sound. The watch is also dual time GMT and you can select which time to have the minute repeater chime out. It's going to be a made to order piece that can be customized by the buyer. Price as seen in the picture is going to be around 359,000 Euro. A lot more information in the actual article but thought I would share.
