Real Pics of the LINDE WERDELIN 3-Timer Racing - Red & Yellow

 
 By: Kong : August 12th, 2010-12:56
The latest LINDE WERDELIN 3-Timer Racing Series launch with their partner in Singapore, E’collezione, is nicely timed to celebrate the annual FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX from 24 to 26 September. Similar to the recently launched 3-Timer Steel Gr...  

Thanks for sharing those pictures Kong!

for me it would be the Yellow one cheers Rupert

You are not alone...

 
 By: Kong : August 14th, 2010-10:47
Thanks Rupert. Ping also prefer the yellow. Kong

Thanks KONG

Thanks Faisal ...

what's your thought of the 3-Timer? Kong

I think...

 
 By: BDLJ : August 12th, 2010-16:17
...the ultimate step would be to match the Luminova with theme colour...that would be something.

Care to elaborate?

 
 By: Kong : August 14th, 2010-11:11
Hi Ben Could you elaborate more? Which area/s? The design team may tune in here Thanks. Kong

Superluminova....colour matched.

 
 By: BDLJ : August 15th, 2010-16:52
... is available in some pretty way-out colours as standard. In the lume shot, the hands and indices are a green-blue (C9?) which jars a little with the colour theme. My suggestion is for a Red lume on the red piece and a Yellow on the yellow one. Granted... 

Thanks for the beautiful pics. Kong.

It sure is a different take to commemorate a F1 Grand Prix with a GMT watch instead of the usual & IMO more appropriate chronograph.However, with only nine of each, they are certainly very limited .... or are they not expecting much demand? cheers fernand... 

Thanks Fernando ...

 
 By: Kong : August 14th, 2010-09:32
Would you be coming over to swim the infinity-pool during the F1 season? According to E'Colleczione, their reason for NINE is for symbolic, as it is their first collaboration, 9 means everlasting - 'chang chang jiu jiu'. Kong

Hi Kong

 
 By: fernando : August 14th, 2010-21:56
Can't make it over to the F1 this season. Most probably later in the year,will let you know. Best fernando

Great!

Cool Watches

 
 By: Tony A.H : August 13th, 2010-15:14
LOVE the Dial but not so crazy about the Doted Straps. i'd rather have a plain Strap with either Red or Yellow Stitching.. (imo) thank you for posting Tony

Some alternatives, perhaps ....

this would be my choice

alternative straps for an ordinarey model with different straps color, though i like the colored straps above , i love their 3 GMT timer anyway . though i dont see my self owning any of their creations at least not as a brand new due to the fact i have se...

thank you again ;0)) Tony

Very nice pictures Kong...

...of two very cool watches. The angular case, screws and dial pair well with the racing theme. I like how the color is somewhat subtle. I'd definitely go for the yellow one!

Thanks Ping!

 
 By: Kong : August 14th, 2010-10:45
You are the second one for yellow Kong

These look really good Kong

 
 By: DaMctosh : August 13th, 2010-19:45
Great pics! Whats the MRSP?

Thanks Damien...

 
 By: Kong : August 14th, 2010-09:22
MSRP given is SGD10,800 / €5,280. Check them out at the shop. Kong

Funny...

 
 By: Bruce-YVR : August 13th, 2010-21:55
I love these colors... on another forum... similar post and the members just trashed this 3-Timer racing colours.... and yet here at the Purists, comments are all pretty positive. Interesting!!! I am getting my Black 3 Timer in a week or so... cant wait..... 

Please show us ...

 
 By: Kong : August 14th, 2010-09:37
some pics of your Black when it arrives Kong

Yes Sir!...

 
 By: Bruce-YVR : August 14th, 2010-09:53
It seems that LW is gaining a lot of press/ popularity lately... I love the brand since the beginning. But was not too hot on its dial design. I love the concept of analog / digital instrument combo. The early LW 2-timer was too busy for me. The 3 Timer c... 

goodness - another F1 watch

 
 By: Hororgasm : August 14th, 2010-09:55
seen the watch today, nothing fantastic. whats the point of a 3 time zone RACING theme watch? to monitor the time in another race track on the other part of the world? its is good looking for sure, but what racing element is there other then POSSIBLY alca... 

Thanks for your opinion ...

 
 By: Kong : August 14th, 2010-10:43
as for cashing-in on any race or other story, it is simply the commercial aspect which most use, as you know Sometime, I wonder that most racing-fans should have many race-related-chronographs. It may not be a bad idea to have non-chronograph for a change... 

something like the rock or the reef...

 
 By: Hororgasm : August 14th, 2010-11:55
to be frank....LW could have created something really useful, and not just cosmetic. they could for example create another attachable clip on module, which i think it really useful, and the one thing that have the LW DNA...like the Rock and the Reef...but... 

Yep... you are spot on....

 
 By: Bruce-YVR : August 14th, 2010-12:57
on the digital module for racing purpose!!! good call... and Yep... pretty Sky as well whahahahaha Bruce

btw, congrats on the new acquisition

 
 By: Hororgasm : August 14th, 2010-13:06
i have nothing against the watch, just the notion that any colour and cosmetic change turns a regular edition into a special edition for some occassion not even associated with the brand, plus no relevent complications to boot!!

Good inputs ...

 
 By: Kong : August 15th, 2010-01:16
Perhaps that may be one of the instruments. I believe the LW Team will be reading your comments Thanks. Kong

Well... feedback from LW on this F1 line...

 
 By: Bruce-YVR : August 25th, 2010-20:32
Just like to share this with you guys... "We did not create the Racing series for the FI. It is just coincidental. The series was commissioned by E’Collezione for the Singaporean customers. It was not part of our Collections. Consider it a fun proje... 

bit disappointed..

 
 By: andrewluff : September 7th, 2010-06:57
Nice pictures Kong. I am a big fan of LW (and own a few already), however I am a little disappointed with these to tell you the truth. The yellow and red colours are great, but in my humble opinion it should have been carried also over to the face with so... 

Thanks for the inputs...

 
 By: Kong : September 8th, 2010-00:39
Hi Andrew Appreciate the candid comments and you are not alone. LW is likely to hear this. Among all the LWs, which in your collection do you like best? If have time, we would love to see some pics Kong

Difficult one...

 
 By: andrewluff : September 8th, 2010-05:09
Hi Kong, Thanks for your message and good to hear that other people maybe think the same. All of them are a bit different but I do like to wear the Spidolite SA All Black as I think the blue hands look super cool, however I do like to wear the slightly th... 

Wow we have similar pieces

 
 By: steffi1 : September 11th, 2010-07:48
Wow we have similar pieces I also have DLC Spidolite SA and DLC Oktopus and yesterday i received my Hard Black 1 which I'm enjoying a lot. Which strap do you wear your Spidolite with? You're right I have Offshores and the LWs do look smaller on the wrist.

Croc all the way...

 
 By: andrewluff : September 11th, 2010-10:47
Hi Steffi, Seems like you like LW's as well. I was wearing mine on the normal croc strap, but the spidolite croc one arrived the other week so switched it over to that but only worn it once since as have a few other new purchases which are the watches of ... 

I have 3 deployants now.

 
 By: steffi1 : September 11th, 2010-16:34
It seems the original Hard Black comes on rubber with deployant. The Oktopus and Spido came with Croc/Aligator and buckles but I ordered deployants knowing the leather straps need them. It is true the straps will wear a lot faster and crease with the buck... 

Deployment is it black?

 
 By: andrewluff : September 12th, 2010-00:00
Is your deployment DLC or Titanium? I went into the studio in London but they gave me a titanium one as it was this or steel but they did not have a black one? Actually the titanium one went back as it went rusty when it was wet....

Deployants I have are all black DLC

 
 By: steffi1 : September 12th, 2010-11:23
I have three DLC deployants. I don't think they do a DLC titanium deployant so mine are all DLC steel.

Thanks

 
 By: andrewluff : September 12th, 2010-23:02
Thanks, will check with them. The one I had was just titanium (and matched my Oktopus but went rusty around all the pins and joints) but would like a DLC one to go with the Spidolite which I didn't think they did. Regards Andrew
