Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor

So here is my Series 1 Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor chronograph ref 146.8.25. This watch had been on my hit list for some time before I was able to acquire a good condition variant. It oozes character in its masculinity from the super compressor case. The dial is laid out beautifully making it both functional…

Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 41 126300

If you had asked me a few years ago whether I’d ever own a Rolex Datejust, I probably would have had a laugh and told you to keep walking. Fast forward to today, and I’m the happy owner of this Rolex Datejust 41 reference 126300 – being the oystersteel variant with smooth bezel. This particular…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster MK40

If you asked me what I think about the Omega Speedmaster MK40, I would tell you it is an extremely nice watch. It wears comfortably on the wrist, goes well with many outfits, and is a very low key watch. It’s got a lot of quirky functions that make it a very unique -and colorful-…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 14060, A Great Companion

One fateful night back in 2014 while watching ‘Live and let die’, I made the decision to buy a Rolex Submariner. As an avid scuba diver I have always been drawn to dive watches with a clean aesthetic that can be worn everyday. I settled on the Rolex Submariner 14060 manufactured in 1990 for the…

Owner Review: Seiko Alpinist SPB117J1 – The 6th Generation

First released in 1959, some say 1961. The Seiko Alpinist SPB117J1 is now in it’s sixth generation. Gaining a massive following over the years. The new and improved Alpinist comes in four colour choices. I will be reviewing the black one, with reference SPB117J1 or SBDC087. First impressions are really good as a Seiko Alpinist…

Owner Review: Tudor Harrods Black Bay – Little brother to the Kermit

Behold the Tudor Harrods Black Bay – a limited/special edition of the Black Bay exclusive available from Harrods London. A dive watch with the same in-house movement as its other regular production brothers. At this price point, it’s hard to beat with so much going for it – depth rating of 200m, power reserve of…

Owner Review: Colibrica Design Indicator

If you were to ask me if there is anything unique about the Colibrica Design Indicator I would have to answer that it would be its soul. Despite its more than reasonable price, considering the amount of self-made components involved, the Indicator is by no means a beginner’s watch. It is a timepiece I recommend…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner “No Date” 114060

My first Rolex was an Explorer purchased about two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, the Explorer is a great watch: understated, comfortable, a great candidate for a “one watch collection” if you’re not able to spend a lot of money and choose to have only one great watch. But I suppose I was not…

Owner Review: Zodiac Super Seawolf 53

I had seen the Zodiac Super Seawolf 53 about a bit on social media and then I met someone at a Redbar London event in the new year who owned the Zodiac Aerospace GMT Hodinkee Edition and thought it looked fantastic and the quality looked great too. I ummed and aahed for a couple of…

Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e

The Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e is one very awesome model made by the Japanese watchmaking powerhouse. With a case width of 48mm, a thickness of 18.6mm and around 165g of weight, it deserves the friendly but imposing name of Eco-Zilla. When I chose it, I was looking for a summer mate and this…
