Owner Review: Rolex Oysterquartz 17014

I’ve always been drawn to the weird and wonderful world of 70’s watch and car design. To me the Rolex Oysterquartz 17014 is a perfect embodiment of my tastes but what’s it like to wear? In a word-special. On the wrist, the 36mm case appears larger than the regular Oyster case, helped in part by

Owner Review – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450ST

Ask any watch collector about Audemars Piguet, and I’m sure you’ll hear nothing but positive remarks about them. In particular, the Royal Oak is a true timeless, classic icon which in my view, should have a place in any serious watch collector’s collection. Up for review today is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450ST 37mm

Owner Review: Seiko SLA017 – My highly anticipated……deception?

What if you finally can date that beautiful girl and it turns out to be not what you expected…..and you walk away bored. That’s basically what happened to me with the Seiko SLA017, the diving watch –limited to 2000 – that is praised for its perfect 39.9mm case size, a beautiful modest sunburst dial, a

Owner Review: Sinn 104 ST SA

I bought the Sinn 104 ST SA from a famous Youtuber. I watched him lust over it in his reviews and to be honest, so did I. Then it came up for sale and I didn’t hesitate to buy it. And I havent regretted it since! This watch is a strap magnet and looks superb

Owner Review: Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Sedna Gold

Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Sedna Gold, what a beautiful and powerful word combination. Just like the watch itself. It catches the eye. It’s big. It’s robust, yet refined. It’s sporty, yet classy. And it withstands 600 metres of bone crushing water pressure. Not that I ever go anywhere near that kind of depth, I am

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: Rolex Submariner Date 16610 – “pre-ceramic”

Before I get to the review of my Rolex Submariner Date 16610 pre-ceramic, I will give you a bit of the back story. It was whilst leafing through National Geographic magazines as a kid that made me get the Rolex bug – It seemed from the ads, that if you were an adventurer, explorer, sailor,

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date

This Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date is a very unique, yet ballsy design! If a German Flieger from WW2 and an American pocket watch were to mate, and have a baby, it would look like this! The case is very nice and wears smaller than the 46mm suggests. Although 46mm is far too large

Owner Review: Seiko 5 SNK809

The Seiko 5 SNK809 is everything you could possibly want in a watch, and more. With a svelte 37mm/11mm stainless steel case, the three-hander is set on a sector-like dial with painted hour and minute Arabic numerals, along with a classic field-watch style triangular marking at the 12 o’clock. It comes with a day-date complication

Owner Review: Rolex Air-King 116900

Yes it’s a controversial subtitle but it’s true and it relates directly to the Rolex Air-King 116900. The watch community (especially Rolex enthusiasts) complain about a lot of things such as hands, dials colours, sizes and bracelets. One of the things they would like more of (me included) is Rolex actually paying more attention by
