Owner Review: Rolex Turn-O-Graph 6202
Black sheep of the family: everyone has one…or two. Even the mighty Rolex is not immune! After all, not every watch is a commercial success. That being said, just because something isn’t an inherent success, doesn’t mean it is a failure—far from it. Oftentimes things just don’t get the credit they deserve or are overlooked,

My Prison watch! The Invicta Grand Diver Automatic
Back in 2012, my Dad bought me this Invicta. I hate to sound unappreciative, but to me, that was like getting handkerchiefs for Xmas, but not coal! I’d owned a few Invictas in the past, and they were awful! However, Dad bought it, so it meant a lot! I owned several good watches at the

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1005 – 2 Brands are Better Than 1
Let’s get right to it. What makes vintage watches worthwhile are the feelings it can evoke and the innate beauty that comes from knowing the design, character, and details will never be replicated again. The watch becomes truly special if there is a story behind it or has taken on a pleasant patina- something that

Owner Review: JS Watch Company Sif N.A.R.T
As a serial watch flipper this is the longest time I’ve owned a watch, so I guess I must like it as I have no intention to sell my JS Watch Company Sif N.A.R.T. There is a lot of things to like about this watch and the company from Reykjavik, Iceland. Self proclaimed as Probably

Owner Review: Nomos Metro – small seconds, big style
The Nomos Metro was designed by German designer Martin Braun but at the same time is still a very typical Nomos watch, although still a little bit different. I like the clean and clear design of Nomos watches in general, but I also like the way this watch is just that bit more elegant with

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore 26470or
With the sun shining in the sky, beautifully tanned arms, and a perfect white T-shirt, this particular piece is unbeatable. I love the size and the “umpff” on my wrist that only a watch like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore 26470or provides. The polished and brushed case gives so much back to the

Editorial: Is the Longines 30ch the Best Chronograph Ever Produced?
I am a passionate collector of Longines chronographs and I would like to dedicate a “love poem” to Longines 30ch chronographs, which was designed in 1947 after having ceased production of the previous and fantastic caliber 13ZN. The 30ch was produced until the early years of 70s. I think that the 30ch is an authentic

That dial is just fntastic.
Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
