Linde Werdelin Oktopus II Double Date Titanium Blue Dive Watch
Linde Werdelin likes to call themselves a watch lab. The notion suggests an image of scientists sitting around in a white room dreaming up the next cool timepiece. Is this sexy sounding concept true? Yes actually, but Linde Werdelin is not alone in their experimentation. Most small brands have lab style product development processes which eventually lead to final products. How does it work and why is it a good idea?I appreciate that Linde Werdelin has decided it makes sense to explicitly state what many brands don't discuss - that they take peer review into strict consideration when finalizing their watches. It has been more or less promised to myself and other watch writers that whatever we view at watch shows such as Baselworld are unfinished prototypes. Brands like Linde Werdelin produce close to reality experimental designs that they share with reviewers and retailers before pieces are produced for sale. Suggestions and feedback go into the final products - which is exactly what ha

Benrus - I don't think this one's American, but can anybody tell me about it?

Need a Re-Lume...who does it??
I have a '66 Bulova automatic that has become a favorite watch. The lume is gone from the hands (leaving empty cut-outs) and from the hour wands on the dial. The dial itself is about 80%. Who can replace the luminous paint on the dial and hands? There must be someone out there...

Forged Carbon: Outside tough and inside not so?
Presently trying to get one of the remaining FC Divers - I have been speaking with the local AP rep (who sounded credible but I take his info with a grain of salt).He told me, that the FC cases are pretty tough at the outside, but more inside - the material is pretty grainy and soft.He told me, that AP replaces casemids and bezels for special prices because the material can't be polished ( I am sure that he's right on that).Now, I intend to wear the watch for some decades and would be disappointed, if the case gets softer when the edges are slightly worn off - so I wanted to ask the experts here if anyone has further infos on this topic.I've also heard about corrosion on FC but failed to find anything futher on that as well.Thanks!!!
