Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award”

So here I am with another Fifth Wrist Review. It’s been a while since my last one, and frankly I don’t remember what my last review was on. Not that it matters, because I’m back today to review the Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. I wont go into the technical specs of the…

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox

In the words of the inimitable Tim Mosso, “this is your one watch – forever”. When I saw one of his video reviews, and learned about the capabilities of this watch, I knew I wouldn’t be compromising one bit. In fact, I bought the exact one from that video shortly after watching it. The Jaeger-LeCoultre…

Owner Review: Christopher Ward C65 Sandstorm Blackout

I used to know a guy called Christopher at school. Nice chap, great at football. Whenever I look at this Christopher Ward C65 Sandstorm Blackout I think of him though! Which is okay but not what I expected to feel when I picked this up. Is it because Christopher Ward is spelt out on the…

Owner Review: Swatch x Kid Robot Gary Baseman

Many decades before the incredibly popular Black Panther character appeared on the now infamous limited edition Audemars Piguet watch dials, Swatch were already masters in watch and pop culture collaborations. The subject of this review is the Swatch x Kid Robot Gary Baseman edition from 2011. It came in a blank ‘Hits and Hots’ box…

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 25594BA

Long before my encounter with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 25594BA my first time trying on a Royal Oak on my wrist was a literal jaw dropping experience that lasted two to three minutes. I know this because I was staring down at the watch, timing myself the whole time. How could something look that…

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer Two-Tone 124273

Punk music was largely a reaction to the popular music of the late sixties and seventies, namely Prog Rock and Disco. It was contrarian by nature. Its aim was to destroy. The Rolex Explorer Two-Tone 124273 is Rolex’s version of Punk Rock. When it was launched in the spring of 2021, it completely flew in the…

Owner Review: Smiths PRS-36

The story of the Smiths PRS-36….. It was the kind of February night in Kansas City that makes you wish you were in Buffalo. The frozen rain didn’t have the decency to come down as snow, so instead the tiny frozen pellets lashed at my office window in gusts. I sighed and poured myself another…

Owner Review: Tiffany East West Automatic

Due to somewhat recent events – Patek, it still kind of stinks in here – it is nearly impossible to conjure up any other images than the 5711 with “Tiffany Blue” (also known as Gift Bag Blue – a nugget of info my 8 year-old dropped on a salesperson at Tiffany one time) dial when…

Owner Review: Nomos Orion 38

Twelve years ago I was working for the Swatch Group and the workshop got together to buy a Nomos Tangente for one of the watchmakers (hi Odo!) as a wedding gift. Blown away by both the coolness and the quality/feel of it, I hit the internet and got even more blown away by the Nomos…
