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).

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.

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…
