Owner Review: Rolex Explorer II 1655

Feels a bit strange to review a watch from 1974. The Rolex Explorer II 1655 is one that I’ve had my eye on for ages. I love the look. I love that it is a ’70s Rolex steel sports watch that is not as common as many other models. I’m also a sucker for 24…

Owner Review: Sō Labs Layer 1

Given the numerous options in my collection, whenever I select a watch for the day, I want to feel excited about it, and to be able to explain why it is special. The Sō Labs Layer 1 is special enough that when I am about to embark upon a low-key day, I am often eager to wear…

Owner Review: Tag Heuer Formula 1 Cayman Limited Edition

It was 2017, our first cruise and a port stop in Grand Cayman. Somehow, I got it in my head that I was 40 and didn’t have a “nice watch”. So after a planned excursion, we planned on a bit of shopping before heading back to the ship (side note – on board the ship…

Owner Review: Seiko Giugiaro Ripley SCED035

People’s tastes vary greatly and you may find it illogical when a thing you love just isn’t somebody’s cup of tea. This Seiko Giugiaro Ripley SCED035 however makes you understand the other side. It’s good-looking, it’s interesting, it’s fugly and immature all at once. No matter what somebody thinks about it, they are right. So…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition

Long before I picked up the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, I have always had a fascination with wristwatches. My first memory of a watch was an Omega, probably a Seamaster, a simple 3 hander in Gold. Growing up, for me, Omega was the watch brand. There was some vague knowledge of their watches…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra – almost perfect.

Almost the perfect watch… almost. My Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra has a lot going for it. It was to be my one & only luxury automatic watch fitting the “one and done GADA” piece. Truth be told, it comes damn close! Though the 41 mm case is on the larger size of the new modern…

Owner Review: Halios Fairwind – 39mm blue beauty with killer bracelet

I first saw the Halios Fairwind on Instagram. While Jason Lim at Halios doesn’t post very often, somehow the IG algorithm read my mind and dangled this shiny object before my eyes. Halios watches tend to re-sell at a premium, but what really drew me to the Fairwind is the bracelet with on-the-fly adjustability. EVERY…
