NFleischer 4,355 Posted August 17, 2013 Looks nice, sterile dial is attractive. A bit heavy for my tastes, I dont like watches that weigh 1/2 pound! So it's about $1000? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheInthusiest 0 Posted August 17, 2013 Thats really cool mate! Great buy. You are bound to make some muscles with that thing on your wrist. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep about $1000 maybe less $850 or so which is good value. I think Kemmner provides good value. The watch is based on the original Octopus of 2012 which was a sell out and widely acclaimed. Thats really cool mate! Great buy. You are bound to make some muscles with that thing on your wrist. :P Maybe I will start by just lifting it in and out of its case and work my way up to actually putting it on my wrist.. )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted August 19, 2013 Am I missing something or is there no GMT hand on this GMT watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSav 2 Posted August 19, 2013 Am I missing something or is there no GMT hand on this GMT watch? The gmt hand is a short red hand being hidden by one of the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnPilot 1 Posted August 19, 2013 Roland Kemmner is a great guy to deal with. I have 2 watches and a lot of parts from him. He never lets you down if there are problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
