I've gotta say...

...I do like it. These live shots show the piece to good effect; much better than the "official" photos that have been released thus far. Yes, it would've been nice to get a close up of the contentious date wheels, but I have a feeling that so long as the watch is on your wrist the date can be read with no problem.

In fact, my only issue with your impromptu photo shoot is that you used an Oktopus Moonphase as a counterbalance, which just happens to be one of my grails. Sigh...

Regards,
Adam

PS - One more thing: It's interesting that the Okto II appears larger than the previous generation, particularly because it gives up so much in terms of water-resistance (the titanium Oktopus is good for 1111M, while the Moonphase is good for 800M).

Nice review of the new Oktopus. I have been a fan of LW since they started and bought a few of their watches and for a while (before it went back) had the Reef. The design and the different angles have always appealed to me. Cheers Andrew

....is that meant to be a Starck juicer?

Much better than all the horrible press photos.

I think the new design is very handsome, although still question the date display. Without that aspect, I'd really enjoy the piece more. It looks fantastic on your wrist! Cheers, Daos

The case ...

... is what always grabs my attention with LW watches. And you demonstrate the design and finishes very well. I can't think of too many modern makers doing cases quite like this, which is refreshing. Enjoy your dramatic pieces. And thanks for the great re...
