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. Announced by Seiko as a reissue of the awesome H558-5000

Owner Review: Seiko Perpetual Calendar GMT 8F56-0080

The Seiko Perpetual Calendar GMT 8F56-0080 was produced way before I got into collecting watches. It features an original and distinctive case design that looks like no other watch on the market, even today. In addition to the unique case design, it has a nicely integrated bracelet that nicely tapers down to make the watch

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: Rolex Comex Sea Dweller 16600

Military watches first got my interest around 2010, when I got my FAP Omega with archive certification. From then on I went crazy over them. As Comex, Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises, is one of the most iconic logos among collectors, I am incredibly attracted to this group of divers. I chanced upon this Rolex Comex Sea

Owner Review: Squale 1521 50 Atmos

Squale, which means “Shark” in French and Italian. The unique look of this watch and the shark logo at the 6 o’clock position makes it easy to identify this professional diver at a glance from any distance. The Squale 1521 50 Atmos is a 42mm diver with 500m water resistance, the movement used is the

Owner Review: De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius

17 years into De Bethune’s existence I took the plunge into their Independent and beautiful world, a world of “Not doing more, but instead doing better” and where apparent simplicity belies complexities in every aspect of a watch. Say hello to the De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius, without a doubt the prettiest watch in my

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical H69429931

The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical H69429931 is one of those watches that’s had a lot of articles written about it. Which is totally understandable, it’s a great watch. It’s a modern reincarnation of a classic military spec watch, in a super comfortable size. Well suited to many wrists due to its slim profile and decent

Owner Review: Seiko Presage SRPD97J1

A white textured dial inspired by the winter seasons of Japan, blue seconds hand, superb value proposition with impressive finishing? It can only be Grand Seiko. Wait, no, hang on. This is no GS.

Owner Review: Sinn 103 St

I discovered the Sinn 103 St almost ten years ago, around the time of my first watch loves. I was hungry to learn as much as I could about watches, especially chronographs and military watches. What I also loved about Sinn watches was the fact that they were not using extensive marketing bullshit to make
