Kemmner Octopussy 2000 Diver

Nice looking watch. Dial reminds me of several Deep Blue models. Looks like a solid piece though. What kind of price tag!

the story i've got is Roland Kemmner is the case maker on this piece and sold rights to anyone that wanted to build with it and makes a small run with his name on each case design he builds! All those 2000meter clones started with this man!

And about $600 for one.
I think Kemmner goes by erkahund on ebay. YOHO here may know about him as this has been discussed at watch dive forums once or twice.

I contacted Kemmner to have a watch converted into lefty (Winding crown at 9 o'clock) and never received a reply. Tried also through eBay: no reply....

and good Lord is the list long with this case maker. You could literally pick from something like a list of 8 and virtually get the same watch.

All made in Hong Kong(Longio) if, I'm not mistaken

I believe you are correct Eddie.

Already have three of these but with deep blue on the dial. And paid a couple hundred less than 600 for them.
Nice watches and hefty no matter the name on them.
