LOL. Re the “Octopussy”…
…some words from Phillips taken from an auction catalog in 2016.
“ “Octopussy” – a name coined by collectors for Rolex’s most lavish version of the President bracelet produced during the 1970s and 1980s. These exclusive bracelets featured one large diamond or precious stone on every single link. Round brilliant-cut diamonds on each outer link were set in unusual cylindrical settings, flanking a center link with a baguette-cut precious stone. The cylindrically set diamonds rise prominently above the links, resembling the suction cups of an Octopus’s tentacles, giving rise to its charming nickname.”
It’s a wild watch. With an unusual dial too, sorry the picture didn’t capture that.
And of course is also an Oysterquartz, a high precision quartz movement which Rolex introduced in the late 1970s. The cases as you can see on these were a little different, those squared off shoulders in lieu of traditional shaped lugs in the mechanical Day Date.

LOL. Re the “Octopussy”…
OMG on the name, it reminds me of how I didn’t “ Love “ Roger Moore at JB.
No official meetups, not permitted to organize via the site. Unless it’s done so by a Moderator.
Makes sense, especially when dealing with $$$ watches
It does.
lovely group of Indies...sure you had a great time !
Is the Akrivia movement full gold like in FPJ pieces?
Lang & Heyne does too.
I believe, to be corrected if wrong, that the movement is brass.
Thanks for the sharing the GTG & beautiful photos.
Agree 100% about rexhep
