Owner Review: Seiko 7018-7000 Flyback Chronograph
The sweet exterior demeanor of this beautiful 1971 Seiko 7018-7000 Flyback Chronograph belies the technical powerhouse within; a bi-directional automatic winding, vertical-clutch, column-wheel, flyback chronograph with a Kanji day/date complication that held the record for world’s thinnest until 1987. It really does pack quite the punch. That was quite a mouthful so let’s unpack it

About a month ago, I decided to sell 2 watches from my collection and put the funds towards one really nice piece. I wasn’t sure what that was going to be at the time of sale but I knew I was looking for something hard to get and something that stood out in a good

Owner Review: Oak & Oscar Humboldt
I came across Oak & Oscar on the web and was immediately attracted by the exceptionally well balanced design of their watches. I can hardly buy a watch I’ve never seen in the metal, but it happened when Oak & Oscar’s Chase and John (very nice guys btw!) hosted a GTG in Frankfurt! I tried

That dial is just fntastic.
