Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 79090 – The Other Rolex Sub

Until a few years ago, Tudor was always shadowed by its bigger sibling; Rolex. This was never intended, as Tudor was created to develop designs while using cheaper, more affordable components, attributing to one of many reasons why the Tudor Submariner 79090 is pursued today. Housed in a Rolex case, with the famous logo on

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner Snowflake

The vintage Tudor Submariner Snowflake needs no formal introduction due to its military and sports heritage amongst collectors. I love sport watches (divers, chronographs, GMT) which are functional as tool watches in both daily and sports activities but also elegant enough for a dinner party. Vintage sports watches which come with a rich history of

Owner Review: A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1

I fell in love with the A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 sometime in 2001, when I first discovered the brand via images in a hotel magazine. Many Lange catalogues later, the Lange 1’s gorgeous, distinctive, asymmetrical dial seeped into my subconscious. I knew I had to have it. Two years ago, I was fortunate

Owner Review: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms – The mother of diving watches

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms can be referred to as the mother of diving watches. Even though it is not the first waterproof watch that has been developed and used to dive, that can be attributed to the Omega Marine in 1936, the Fifty fathoms is the first that featured a rotating bezel to help scuba

Owner Review: Zenith A3736 Chronograph – My watch Zenith

I’ve found when choosing a watch to spend some serious time with, that the old fashioned approaching to dating works best. It’s easy to do some research to find a perfect match for all the “vital statistics” you think you want and need, but nothing’s better than when your heart skips a beat at first

Owner Review: Seiko 6138 Yachtsman a.k.a UFO

I have a thing for vintage Seiko watches. Dive watches, dress watches, chronographs, I like them all. But one watch that really caught my eye was the Seiko 6138 Yachtsman. It is better known as the UFO, due to its flying saucer-shaped case. The UFO is a bruiser of a vintage chronograph measuring in at

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101

The Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 is considered by many watch aficionados to be the less-hot sister of the famous AP Royal Oak. Who cares what those hype beasts think though? This particular version of the Millenary comes in a stunning 47mm steel oval case, measures 13mm in thickness, with a massive 20 meter water resistance,

The A. Lange and Sohne 1815, along with some of Lange’s other early models, can be found pre-owned around the $10k budget, making them an absolute steal for the quality. Sporting the L.941.1 movement, the watch ticks away at 21,600 bph. It has a 45 hr power reserve, is handwound and has 21 jewels. The
