Owner Review: Seiko Presage Cocktail Time SRPB41J1
When people invariably ask me to recommend a dress watch to them this is almost always in my list regardless of price. For most people this would be the watch to put on for a night out to dinner or to wear to an event where they wanted to add a little sparkle to their

Owner Review: Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military OVM
I can hear the watch snobs…sipping on their Haterades as I type this review. The first time I bought the Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military I was very happy with it. Then I started to read the reviews, damning this homage watch to being no better than a fake. So I sold it…I felt a bit

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor Marina 8 Days PAM510
Being a die hard Paneristi and having previously owned both a Bronzo and a Ceramica, two head turning statement watches. I wanted a Panerai perfect for everyday wear with that iconic crown guard and the beautiful sandwich dial. I was looking for a Panerai that could be simple and easily recognizable. On my 30th Birthday

Owner Review: Stowa Flieger Classic
I never thought I would fall in love with the Stowa Flieger Classic until I did. Much like a last minute hook up at a dive bar, I didn’t expect much from this average looking girl but then she won me over with her nocturnal skills and smooth winding. I’ve never been a huge flieger

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: Cartier Crash
Having admired the Cartier Crash for several decades and having been confused over the case size of the various editions since the original was released by London in 1968, the closest encounter was with the ladies version which was way too small for me, even a diehard vintage collector where smaller case sizes are the

Owner Review: IWC Mark XVIII (18) Pilot Watch
The IWC Mark XVIII (18) is a modern watch, drawing its aesthetics from classic pilot watches of years gone by. This iteration of the Mark XVIII uses a black textured dial matched with contrasting white markers and arabic numerals. The result is a highly legible dial that one can tell the time with from across

Owner Review: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Ocean Commitment III
When we hear quintessential dive watch, many will think of the Rolex Submariner but it was Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms that was the first true iteration of the modern dive watch. Released in 1953 and then relaunched in 2007, Blancpain has produced many variations but I think the purest form is reserved for its 40mm limited

Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Diver NY0040-41e
I bought the Citizen Promaster Diver NY0040-41e on a whim! I thought, ‘I wonder if it’s a good Seiko SKX alternative?’ I’m going to say that this watch was extremely low priced, due to being refurbished, however I came to find out that, it was sold as refurbished but it wasn’t. It has a dial

Owner Review: Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO
Having owned the Pepsi BLRO in stainless steel, my next natural progression was to also own a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO. The meteorite dial is an extremely special piece to me, as no two dials are identical. As most Rolex sport models have the same 40mm cases and only 2 versions of different

That dial is just fntastic.
Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
