It’s a watch that has become one of those watches that ends up on everyone’s list of relatively reasonably priced watches to recommend anyone.

Owner Review: Bamford Mayfair

In this wacky world of watches there are two main schools of watch modifying – there are the DIY home modders, switching out bezels and handsets to create their own personalised watches, and then there are the high end watch customisers that take luxury watches and make them that little bit extra.

Owner Review: Casio GR3 Moon Fight Robot – Pure Nostalgia!!!

Does this Casio GR3 Moon Fight Robot represent misplaced nostalgia? Was the world really that much of a better place thirty plus years ago?

Owner Review: A. Lange and Sohne Saxonia Thin

Owner Review: Certina DS Diamaster Rado – “The Eye of the Tiger”

It all started with a picture of one of my idols, the greatest boxer of all time, wearing an unidentified watch, and shaking hands with an unidentified guy … The identity search was simple, other guys had already done the heavy lifting!

Owner Review: Escapement Time Flieger Chronograph

It all started with the Seagull 1963 reissue. My youtube was just flooded with those when it came out. I saw one in the metal, tried it on, And was like… I wish they’d make this in a “flieger style”. Then I saw the Stowa Flieger Chronograph, and the hunt was on! It was a…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 94010 Lollipop

The term lollipop comes up quite often when it comes to watches and not just with the Tudor Submariner 94010 Lollipop. It usually refers to either dial markers or watch hands.

My Scottish Grandpa’s Roamer. A Story/Review.

My Scottish Papas watch. He was a Military man and very Dour (If you’re Scottish, you’ll know what I’m talking about). But a character who loved Swiss watches, and while most people would turn their nose up at this Solid 9ct Gold ‘Quartz’ Dennison cased Roamer, to him it was an amazing innovative 80’s Swiss…
