Owner Review: Zentier Z2
Zentier Z2 ? Yep …. Like all of you I’d never herd of it. Thanks to our good friend @scaramanga__, who has a great eye for cool, different and appealing pieces that are off the beaten track, for bringing it to the attention of his followers. Why then is the Zentier Z2 in my watch

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGW231
The Grand Seiko SBGW231 is part of my watch collecting “hobby” (reads: sickness)story. Like many, my obsession was spiralling out of control and my appetite for buying more watches grew by the day, I started consciously putting some roadblocks to prevent myself from acquiring new timepieces. At the time, Grand Seiko had been taking the

Owner review: Zelos Swordfish 40mm TI
A review is just one individual’s opinion. Take it. Weigh it. It may inform, irritate, entertain, or none of those things. In the end, make up your own mind if a timepiece is for you. The watch I am reviewing has multiple reviews, most of them extremely positive. So please, don’t just take my word

Owner review: Seiko SNK381
The Seiko 5 back catalogue is extensive and was the back bone of their general market popularity, with some really worthy classics still available at very reasonable prices. The Seiko SNK381 has been gaining traction a lot lately within the community for good reason and again, like most of my watch purchases, blindsided me. Seiko

Owner review: Armitron Griffy
Retro is all the rage these days and that’s what the Armitron Griffy is all about. Nostalgic themes have manifested in major aspects of popular culture, from entertainment, video games, cars and even the items we use every day (e.g. the re-emergence of the enamel cup, something I grew up watching my grandfather drink morning

Owner review: Omega De Ville
I can start by saying I’m a big Omega fan and not just because the Speedmaster was my first luxury watch or because Bond was my childhood dream life. Throughout the years Omega has somehow managed to find it’s way into Ethiopia, my homeland. From Ethiopian pocket watches, that I’ve previously reviewed here, to a

Owner review: TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01
Summer 2019, a warm evening, little did I know that I would always remember it for the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 story! I’m on vacation, alone, on the way to the cottage on the bay to enjoy some deserved time off. I stop at my local AD to pick up one of my grandfather’s

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114200
I’ve been collecting watches for a few years now, since just before the whole steel sports watch thing blew up and long before the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114200 existed. I wish I could say that when I started out I bought a handful of Subs and left them boxed and stickered and have now sold

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…
