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…

Owner Review: ZRC Grand Fonds Type III

For a very long time, little was known about French watches like the ZRC Grand Fonds as most collectors were after the Swiss and American pieces.

Owner Review: Tissot PRC 200 Powermatic 80

In the world of Swiss watches, Tissot offers great heritage and a whole lot of different models to choose from – something for everyone, in every price range. However, I’ve always found their designs to be a mixed bag – there are some good ones, alright, but they have to be sieved from the pile…

Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 16628

The all gold Rolex Yacht-Master 16628.. It’s the one to start all Yacht-Masters and the timepiece that started my watch fever as a young man. I selected it as my goal watch because my father said that when I had a real job and proved myself as responsible, he would let me wear it and…

Owner Review: Sinn 857 UTC TESTAF

The single watch that provides everything we want in a timepiece remains elusive for those who love watches. If forced to limit myself to a single timepiece, my choice would be the versatile Sinn 857 UTC TESTAF for three reasons. 1) Legibility As a pilot watch, the Sinn 857 features my favorite dial design, styled…

It was August 2019 in Athens, Greece. I had an itch to get me a Radiomir. I wanted a Black Seal Ceramic, but I was trying to control myself, unsuccessfully. During a trip to the mall, I pass by an AD and spot the Radiomir Ceramic in the display window. I go in and ask…
