Owner Review: Rolex 1501 Blue Mosaic/Shantung

An Oyster case in 34mm, waterproof, well built and timeless design, I mean it is a Rolex 1501. A lot of men are concerned about wearing a 34mm watch but to be honest the 34mm Oyster case wears larger, especially with the engine turned bezel which I find also helps make the case look more

Owner Review: Rolex Batman GMT Master II

Once a rather plump luxury watch sales person told me that if I worked really hard I could maybe one day own a Rolex Batman GMT Master II. I had commented on how beautiful his watch was and ever since that comment I wanted the Batman. I put in a lot of work to build

Owner Review: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe

A design so forward in thought, that even today, much of the criteria that officially defines the dive watch (ISO 6425 for those playing the home game), could be found on this very early timepiece. Have you guessed the model yet? Nope,

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 16800

As the title suggests this review may leave more than a few of you upset and scratching your heads. Looking at the photos, this neo vintage Rolex Submariner 16800 looks like any other sub on a NATO strap. However it’s the case that hides the distinct difference.

Owner Review: Zelos Nova 38mm Salmon Dial

Due to being in lockdown and wanting to scratch my itch without killing the bank account, I started my research into various brands outside the large houses. Never in my wildest dreams, did I imagine it would lead me to my Zelos Nova 38mm Salmon Dial. Who are they you might ask? Zelos is based

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 111

I have always been into mechanical watches. When I was younger it was pocket watches, but then I grew up, started a family, got a house and a mortgage and then the watches were put on hold for a number of years. The interest was still there and I started to follow some online. Pocket

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Rose Gold

So I was asked by @thewatchregulator to submit a review of my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak chronograph rose gold in 41mm. This being my first official review of any watch, I first hesitated in how I would go about this. This is for sure, a very high-end luxurious timepiece in precious metal, by a well
