2013 Linde Werdlein Spidolite II Tech Forged Carbon vs AP Diver Forged Carbon

Another link to observe the beautiful case: http://monochrome-watches.com/review...ii-tech-green/
Fair contest?


Well, LW sources its LW04 movement from Concepto. Here, it seems that AP has LW movement beat.

However, the grain on the FC case made by LW resembles that off Richard Mille's NTPT models a la RM35-01 Rafael Nadal.

Based on looks alone, does the Spidolite II Tech edge out the FC Diver?

75 pieces worldwide.

Thoughts?

I prefer the Diver, but I do like the LW Spido Speed.

I've seen a few LW pieces I like, but this is definitely not one of them.

AP for sure.

The LW is nice but after a bad experience I will never own one of their watches again.
