Owner Review: Seiko Cocktail Time SRPB41

The Seiko Cocktail Time SRPB41 takes the renowned Seiko formula of great value, ravishing dials, unrelenting reliability and presents it in the presage line up. This watch has been around for some time and is a fan favourite among enthusiasts, but should you buy the hype? With a 40mm steel case, rather slim proportions and…

Owner Review: FP Journe Chronometre Bleu – 50 Shades Of Bleu

At first glance, it’s just another elegant dress watch with a plain time only dial. But the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu is a timepiece that you must come up close and personal with to really appreciate.Earlier watches came in a long rectangular coffin box but now come in the more familiar cuboid wooden box. A…

Owner Review: Cartier Santos 100

This is what happens when you casually walk into a jewelry store when visiting another city. You walk out with a Cartier Santos 100. The 2018 Santos is the familiar square shape but now has some subtle curves. The Roman numeral hour markers are still there. Those blue sword-style hands are worthy of the Game…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Bronze Heritage

Tudor unveiled the Heritage Black Bay Bronze at Baselworld 2016. I can remember seeing the press coverage on various watch websites and Instagram, the watch seemed to be generally well received. Personally, it wasn’t instant love for me, but I was intrigued and I wanted to learn more. Beyond knowing that Tudor was the sister…

Owner Review: Seiko Arnie SNJ025 – Get to tha Review!

While the entire watch enthusiast community was poised for the luxury Swiss watch companies to announce their latest incredibly dull creations at 2019 Baselworld (the last of the Baselworlds) Seiko’s offerings shadowed their somewhat uninspiring new models, the Seiko Arnie SNJ025 was one such watch.

Owner Review: Tudor Pelagos Blue Dial 25600tb

Being the watch idiot savant that I am, I use an app (“On My Wrist” should anyone be interested!) to record the regularity with which I wear each of my watches in my increasingly inappropriately excessive collection. The app tells me this morning that my Tudor Pelagos Blue Dial 25600tb has today become my equal most…

Owner Review: Meistersinger N°01

The Meistersinger N°01, a one handed watch. I never understood it. How will you know exactly what time it is? How do you sync your watch precisely and know how accurate it is? How will you know how long you have until the train comes? How do you know how much longer you have in…

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: Grand Seiko GMT SBGM235

Watches tell the time, some also tell the month, date, and even moon phase. For the Grand Seiko GMT SBGM235, it is so very much more than that, it is a piece of art. This piece was released as part of the celebration of the Calibre 9S 20th year anniversary and limited to 1000 pieces…

Owner Review: Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 2 126710 BLRO

You all know this watch. Nothing I can write here will likely change your feelings on it. Some are anxious to own one, and some are blatantly ignorant of its existence. It is of course, the 2018 Basel release Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 2 126710 BLRO, also known as simply “the Pepsi”. When Rolex teased…
