Linde Werdelin Forged Carbon Spidolite II

Recommended Posts

Thanks to a surprise DHL delivery this morning at 6am, I was able to wear this to work and take a few pictures. I haven't seen many reviews of the Spidolite II, and actually didn't think this would have been repped after seeing pictures of the gen online. 

This 44mm watch features a ceramic skeleton, and a forged carbon outer case, with an unmodified A7750 running second at 9. Sapphire glass on the front and back show the movement and branded rotor, while a ceramic bezel on the front frames the dial.

Initial impressions are that the watch is light and sturdy feeling, although time will tell on the latter. Winding feels smooth, and the date flips right at midnight. The hybrid skeleton dial looks clean and has crisp cut outs, while the lime green and gold date wheel fits in and looks nearly identical to pictures of the genuine model.

All markings are present and look well replicated, although the movement is not identical to the gen due to missing blued screws, and matte finishing, although I knew this going in, and don't mind.

For the price, I consider this to be a good value, with (hopefully) little chance for issues due to the unmodified A7750.

It really blows my mind why someone would buy certain Gens as this example proves.

Kinda wish the dial was a little better designed because that case is really cool, on a wish list though.

Nice pickup, bud.

 

If they only repped the Oktopus MoonLite or BluMoon...  I'd buy that in a second.

True, this purchase was brought on by me looking for another affordable gen watch made out of forged carbon. I couldn't find anything with good value, but saw pictures of this in gen, which led me to look it up from the TD's.

I did like the look of the Oktopus line, but am happy they at least rep one model.
