Owner Review: Bulgari Octo Finissimo Titanium Limited Edition

Bulgari has been intensely developing their men’s watch section lately, and the octo finissimo lineup is now their major watch production. Each new octo finissimo that has come out has been a record breaker. Thinnest: automatic watch, ceramic mechanical, tourbillon, skeleton watch, grande sonnerie, and more recently this year thinnest chronograph and GMT. My version…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical

I won’t cover the history of the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical because I’ll probably cock it up. Standard issue to US troops in Vietnam during the late 60s and the rest… The specs are as follows: 38mm wide, 47mm lug to lug, 10mm thick, sapphire crystal. Now the movement, well I have to be honest…

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss Z Blue 116400GV

When it comes to hyped steel sports models, the Rolex Milgauss Z Blue 116400GV is often overlooked. The Milgauss reference 6541 was first introduced in 1956 with the lightning bolt seconds hand and was designed for engineers and scientists.

Owner Review: Seiko SKX007 – What’s left to say?

What can you say about the Seiko SKX007 that has already had so much written about it before? According to Jack Forster “It’s probably the single best value at any price point”. I don’t think you would find many people who would disagree with Jack’s view. It has also been a popular choice of watch…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner “No Date” 114060

My first Rolex was an Explorer purchased about two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, the Explorer is a great watch: understated, comfortable, a great candidate for a “one watch collection” if you’re not able to spend a lot of money and choose to have only one great watch. But I suppose I was not…

The Squale 1521 50 Atmos is a 42mm diver with 500m water resistance, the movement used is the…

Owner Review: Casio World Time AKA Casio Royal Review

Today I present to you the humble yet incredibly well loved Casio AE-1200WH AKA Casio World Time or Casio Royale. This particular timepiece isn’t anything special nor is it trying to be and for that very reason it is priced accordingly. Some people think of it as a ‘Bond Watch‘ as it pays homage to…

Owner Review: Mido Multifort Patrimony – Quickens My Pulse

I always try to buy my watches used — or at least on the grey market — but when the Mido Multifort Patrimony was released earlier this year, my resolve was severely tested. Knowing that this watch wouldn’t pop up on the secondary market for a while yet, I finally gave in and bought it…

Owner Review: Orient Mako XL – Orange is the new black

The Orient Mako XL has been around a few year now, but since the release of the Kano and Kamasu, it’s gotten even more affordable. With a total of five different variations, the black dial/orange bezel combo is by far my favorite one. The dial is matte black and the deep, metallic orange of the…
