The Black & White of LINDE WERDELIN
Beginning of this new year, the white and black models of the LINDE WERDELIN pieces landed in Singapore - The White Watch and the Hard Black II. Below are some quick snapshots of the two models .... Starting with the The White Watch from the 3 Timer Colle...
Hmmm.
I could see wearing the white dial but not on the white strap. BTW, isn't filling the hex nuts with white paint a little odd? If I am not mistaken, the hex nuts are functional and have to be removed to change the strap. I would think that with one strap c...
Fortunately the straps could be changed ;-)
That's a good question about the possibility of paint chip in the hex-nut. Will check if the ADs have spares to anticipate the issue. Thanks DSD. Kong
Why not ? ...
The Creative One with the most answers to why '51' pieces You like neither of these models? Kong
Well, several reasons Kong....
First, there were no ballet slippers in the post - click here . Bad form.... Second, if there were any prizes when this question was asked in August - click here - then MTF has been exceedingly slow (to put it benignly) to announce the results and distrib...
But, pplater...
...wouldn't the white watch help your credentials with the white shoe brigade?
:-)...
Wrong state BDLJ: white shoes for banana-benders, white thongs for sandgropers! Cheers, pplater.
Will have to stock up...
...on the white shoes, I'm heading up to Maloolaba/Bribie next week...Also get to play Spot-The-AWOL/FIFO-Sticker game
Do you consider yourself ...
sangroper? Hey! Do you think your avatar need to change colour? Kong

Yes, I'd wesr the white with the white strap
First, DSD brings up a good point.... but to return to the initial question, yes i'd wear it, but only in tropical/mediterranean situations (southern italy?)...... At first I was not fond of LW, but they really are growing on me. I could see them as part ...
Interesting...
Hi Jason Why only wear it at tropical places? Not in your area? Thanks for the input. Kong
This brings in the following question
in an era where brands are going back to their roots polishing some of their iconic watches and putting it in production again " a limited run of watches in majority of cases " which help strengthin the identity or an image of a certain brand ... infront ...
Thanks ...
for your POV. I feel LW's 'finger print' is the case-shape with the facets and sharp edges. Agreeable, just changing colour will reach saturation point fast. Kong
How did white become the default ladies color for watches? :-)
Was that trend started by Chanel? I like both watches, but the dial of the Hard Black is much nicer (The One is my favorite LW model) IMO. I love the matte black finish on the watch. Great pictures of both timepieces, Kong! Cheers, Daos
That's like asking...
... why brides marry in white. Aren't all kitchen appliances white??? ;-) ;-) ;-) Cheers, pplater.
LOL! I don't know, Pplater. My microwave is orange.
What's that say about me? Don't get me wrong, I think white watches are pretty hot from a fashion perspective. Cheers, Daos
Exactly! That's the whole problem with the watch industry ...
... there's too much FASHION involved. It must be the time of the year... Somewhat TIC* Andrew *Tongue-in-cheek
Fit for purpose ...
That's true, but I still prefer watches that are 'fit for purpose'. Watches that are functionally designed to do what they were meant to, and physically designed to fit the human wrist comfortably and not get caught on clothing. Once they go outside of th...
"The Cranky Curmudgeon"
My wife chides me all the time for venting opinions to the editor of my local paper (and getting them published). LOL
i dont mind the fashion bit.
one can argue that there are alot of buyers of Pams , APs etc are also buying them as fashionable items. and i have no issues with tht. i havebought watches basis of fashion the its horological merits as well. but i believe i have a good balance fro watch...
What does that say about you?...
You can run, but you can't hide: we can just imagine your bridal party - Cheers, pplater....
Bwahahaha!
OMG! A Bollywood wedding! Exactly what I've always wanted! *giggling* Daos
Kong, you can wear The WHITE and...
you need to match with a pair of WHITE shoes. Do you know how would you look like? Regards Ling
I would wear the white one, definitely ....
... but not with the white strap. Give it a tan strap, or a black rubber one, and you have a perfect sports watch with white dial. Why should a white dial alone transform a watch into a ladies' timepiece? Regards, Marcus
