Interesting to know where you found that Linde Werdelin is run by a husband and wife pair? States differently on their website and from all the various articles I've read online (link / link). Also the fact that they work closely on a number of pieces in their collection with Svend Anderson says they arn't exactly small players

Also, not sure what you're trying to convey in the first sentence. Hublots BBs first range were very much steel affairs with the ceramic bezel. Even the current range feature all steel affairs in 2010. Not to mention they are ETA7750s (not even 7753s) in them. APs until recently were not even using an integrated inhouse chrono movement. And its only in the very high end LEs or the new 2011 versions whereby more material's will be utilised, i.e. ceramic, forged carbon etc. Not really defending LW, but trying to understand where you are coming from and what you're trying to state as it's not exaclty conclusive. Neither of those brands have a hardened steel DLCed piece to my knowledge either.

Also, its not distributed by THG/Sincere but by E'Collezion

Anyhow, seperately, was messing around with the collection this morning and took some shots of my whole collection, but this one stood out

I think Linde Werdelin are friends, not husband and wife. Maybe Bro Iceheller was thinking of Habring, that's the husband and wife team...

Wow, for 15K I'd rather spend on a Big Pilot. Cheaper some more! Haha, we'll see when the time comes lah. Maybe we can arrange to go to the sale together, then let Bro Feilong wait outside with kopi, test his resistance, hahahaha! Kidding, kidding...

no leh, not gg for that version in your link. Gg for its literally bigger brother the Senator Navigator Panorama Date 44mm version keke....wonder can fit my wrist anot.

But somehow, in the back of my mind, its nagging at me that its not worth the 15k price (before discount) tag lol....Its essentially a Type A pilot watch with a grande date complication and the price is like more than 10 times with the other non-date versions from other makers.

Sometime back, someone was selling the younger brother of the watch shown in your link. Was gg for abt 4k but I decided that in the end, if really get a GO, def need a clear caseback so that we can admire the movement

Let's see how bah in the THG sales keke...might still not have sufficient funds when the time comes haha..(or mayb change mind again:P )

BTW, found this on WUS (not sure if its alright to post)

Basically the rubber straps can be cut to fit smaller wrists. Something to consider for the smaller wristed bros.

Thanks. I just PMed krazy8 asking for the instructions of how to adjust the rubber stap to fit small wrists.

He's my final hope for LW watches. hopefully, something good comes along

Tho I much prefer to be able to wear it with the leather strap with yellow stichings, but will still see how I can probably get one with the rubber strap (assuming can fit).

btw, anyone have any idea how much a set of rubber strap will cost me?
