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: 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…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Railmaster

As a kid my teachers asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to be a train driver. They taught me train drivers are called engineers. With my latest promotion there could only be one watch to join my growing collection. A watch that is described as the forgotten brother…

Owner Review: Breguet Classique 5907, Haute Horlogerie

One of the oldest watchmakers in the industry, Breguet has been a brand lately overshadowed by many of its peers. Some might attribute it to the recent trend of sports watches and an ever-changing lifestyle leading to a lower desire for formal dress watches. Let’s be honest, you’re not going to be seeing much of…
