Owner Review: Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA211

As a newbie tentatively taking his first steps into the world of watches about two years ago, as soon as I saw, read and heard about the Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA211, I felt the need to own one almost immediately. And while that desire had been immediate, it took me months of reflection to understand

Owner Review: Swatch Sistem51 – The worst watch ever made?

Catchy title, but after experiencing this watch for a long time, it’s the only conclusion I have come to. This watch is a piece of crap, and let me explain why. The Swatch Sistem51 first came out in 2014 and I have been the owner of the classic black variation since its debut, long before

Owner Review: Nodus Sector Sport Glacial

Can a microbrand fulfill a one watch collection? Let’s face it, if you are reading this review, then you’re likely not in that frame of mind. BUT, if you know anyone who is, or (more likely) if you’re looking for a real everyday GADA value proposition; look no further than the Nodus Sector Sport. I

Owner Review: Kudoke 2 – affordable independent

I first noticed Stefan Kudoke when I saw some posts on Instagram with his very elaborate skeletonized watches. Beautiful and very skillfully done, but not really for me. Then one day I saw a post of a different watch, which also turned out to be from his hands: The Kudoke 2 with his own, very

Owner Review: Cooper Submaster – a different kind of sub

“The kind of watch worn by hairy chested Secret Agents, former SBS types with easy smiles and big….well, we won’t go any further.” When you read a description like this on the company page, you just know you’re in for something special. And special it is, this Cooper Submaster. Modeled after the 80’s watches made

Owner Review: Omega Dirty Dozen 1940s

As a history buff and lover of Omega, the 1940s ref W.W.W. (Watch, Wrist, Waterproof) is a grail watch for me. And when I found an original Omega Dirty Dozen with its luminous radium dial and hands, I knew I had to jump at the opportunity. The ref W.W.W is one of the famed “Dirty

Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 1603

I have been (and still am) a vintage 1960s Seiko enthusiast for twenty-something years. I also aspired to own a vintage Rolex since reading those National Geographic ads back in the glorious 60s and 70s. Last year I felt I was ready to move on to this stage, consolidated my vintage Seiko collection to a

Owner Review: Piaget Tiger Eye 9741

Piaget is an interesting brand. They simply don’t get the credit they deserve. Not only are they movement makers, but they are also movement innovators. This Piaget Tiger Eye 9741 sports the famed 9P movement, the slimmest movement ever created at the time. Piaget has continued to push the boundaries when it comes to making
