Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 16628

The all gold Rolex Yacht-Master 16628.. It’s the one to start all Yacht-Masters and the timepiece that started my watch fever as a young man. I selected it as my goal watch because my father said that when I had a real job and proved myself as responsible, he would let me wear it and…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock DW-5600

If you are reading this blog, I think you should know what a G-Shock is and little bit about its history. In short, G-Shock is a creation Kikuo Ibe (and his team of course) in 1983 to have a “Triple 10” – 10 years battery life, 10 bar water resistance, and more importantly survive a…

Owner Review: Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph

I bought the Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph because I fell in love with the integrated bracelet; this looks just great. Combined with the size of 38mm and height of just around 11.3mm for my 17.5cm wrist it was really appealing. Then the brand Girard Perregaux, which is one of the oldest but not flashy haute…

Owner Review: S.U.F Helsinki Vetehinen

Have you been looking to be the custodian of a wonderful Sarpaneva creation? The S.U.F Helsinki Vetehinen line is an entry level line created by independent watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva. When I was first lucky enough to stumble upon a photo of the S.U.F Vetehinen I immediately knew this was a watch that I just had…

Owner Review: Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO

Having owned the Pepsi BLRO in stainless steel, my next natural progression was to also own a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO. The meteorite dial is an extremely special piece to me, as no two dials are identical. As most Rolex sport models have the same 40mm cases and only 2 versions of different…

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss White Dial 116400

For my fifth Fifth Wrist review, I felt somewhat obligated, for the first time, to review a Rolex. Moans and groans from the readers, at this point? Though this is not, in my subjective opinion, a ‘run of the mill’ Rolex (pardon the pun…). This Rolex Milgauss White Dial 116400 exudes fun, plus it is…

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300 white dial or as some might call it, matte silver dial, is a very classy watch that also enjoys a minimalistic style. It is a great every day watch as it fits pretty much every occasion and goes with almost every outfit. It really can handle anything you might…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Railmaster

As a kid my teachers asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to be a train driver. They taught me train drivers are called engineers. With my latest promotion there could only be one watch to join my growing collection. A watch that is described as the forgotten brother…

Owner Review: Breguet Classique 5907, Haute Horlogerie

One of the oldest watchmakers in the industry, Breguet has been a brand lately overshadowed by many of its peers. Some might attribute it to the recent trend of sports watches and an ever-changing lifestyle leading to a lower desire for formal dress watches. Let’s be honest, you’re not going to be seeing much of…

Owner Review: Roger Dubuis Excalibur Carbon Skeleton

There’s a definite “Flintstones Meets Haute Horology” vibe to the “modern stone-age” design of the carbon Roger Dubuis Excalibur Carbon Skeleton. The dichotomy between its rough carbon case and meticulously-finished skeletonized movement (which requires 530 man-hours to complete) makes this watch utterly original. It’s also incredibly light due to the forged carbon case – and…
