Owner Review: Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600

I have always been a huge fan of dive watches. Something about their practical, no-nonsense design and usability has appealed to me since my interest in watches started. One of those dive watches is manufactured by none other than Rolex, a heavy-weight in this category for its timeless designs and innovation. This is my review…

We all have that moment. The moment when we first see an incredible item that ignites a passion that will last for the rest of our lives. For some it is a wonderful piece of art, for others, it is an amazing feat of engineering in the form of a supercar. The thing that did…

Owner Review: Oris Diver 65 – blast from the past that lasts

In a marketplace saturated by retro dive watches and watch company reissues complete with artificially aged lume, dials, and hand sets, it can be hard to imagine a less funky and colorful world only half a decade ago when watches were generally just iterations of modern lineups.

Owner Review: Rolex Double Red Sea Dweller

I’ve always been a Sea-Dweller fan. My first Rolex Sea-Dweller was the 16600, and the major draw to me was the fact that it did not have a date magnifier (aka cyclops), and the fact that at 40mm, it is very similar to the Rolex Submariner, but a little thicker. The Rolex Double Red Sea…

Yes, a Speedy is a Speedy, but I was inexplicably drawn to the Zenith Chronomaster El Primero for one its history, two its importance and three its…

Owner Review: Cartier Roadster – the perfect daily wearer?

The Cartier Roadster was the watch that sparked my horological obsession. It was a 21st birthday gift from my parents and was my daily wearer for six years.

There I was 3 years ago, happy with my Moonwatch but really wanting another Speedmaster. Preferably something a bit more vintage and if at all possible without the hefty price tag that usually goes along with that. Know the feeling? Then, If beefy 70s tonneau cases don’t scare you, the Omega Speedmaster Mark 4.5 reference…
