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…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz

I have been collecting watches for almost 20 years now and by the time the Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz was announced in 2010, I was only focused on vintage watches but it became my first modern Speedy to mark an important personal achievement. This LE commemorated the 35th anniversary of the rendezvous of Apollo and…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock DW-5600

If you are reading this blog, I think you should know what a G-Shock is and little bit about its history. In short, G-Shock is a creation Kikuo Ibe (and his team of course) in 1983 to have a “Triple 10” – 10 years battery life, 10 bar water resistance, and more importantly survive a…

Owner Review: Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph

I bought the Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph because I fell in love with the integrated bracelet; this looks just great. Combined with the size of 38mm and height of just around 11.3mm for my 17.5cm wrist it was really appealing. Then the brand Girard Perregaux, which is one of the oldest but not flashy haute…

Owner Review: S.U.F Helsinki Vetehinen

Have you been looking to be the custodian of a wonderful Sarpaneva creation? The S.U.F Helsinki Vetehinen line is an entry level line created by independent watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva.

Owner Review: Panerai Radiomir S.L.C. PAM 425

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…

Owner Review: Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO

Having owned the Pepsi BLRO in stainless steel, my next natural progression was to also own a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO. The meteorite dial is an extremely special piece to me, as no two dials are identical. As most Rolex sport models have the same 40mm cases and only 2 versions of different…

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss White Dial 116400

For my fifth Fifth Wrist review, I felt somewhat obligated, for the first time, to review a Rolex. Moans and groans from the readers, at this point? Though this is not, in my subjective opinion, a ‘run of the mill’ Rolex (pardon the pun…). This Rolex Milgauss White Dial 116400 exudes fun, plus it is…

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300 white dial or as some might call it, matte silver dial, is a very classy watch that also enjoys a minimalistic style. It is a great every day watch as it fits pretty much every occasion and goes with almost every outfit. It really can handle anything you might…

Owner Review: Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE435 PADI

I had recently received a bonus from my employer back in 2018 and I wanted a real dive watch. I can’t even swim, but I always liked the idea of a watch that could do the job even if I couldn’t. I wanted something authentic and eye catching, but also reasonably priced that wouldn’t break…
