Owner Review: Marathon GSAR – One. Tough. Watch.
For those of you who are not familiar with Marathon, they are a Canadian watch company that was formed in 1904. In 1941 they began manufacturing timing instruments for the Allied Forces and they continue to supply watches to the Canadian and U.S. militaries to this day. They manufacture their watches in La Chaux de

Owner Review – NTH Amphion Vintage Gilt
So I hear you’re in the market to own yet another Mil-sub with a heavy dash of the “H-word” sprinkled in for good measure. If you are looking for a watch that exhibits its heritage in the form of a vintage gilt relief dial, submariner style design cues, and sexy ass sword hands, then the

Owner Review: CWC Royal Navy Spec MK1 Diver makes me half fat!
The CWC RN MK1 Diver is a military collectors dream watch. Made by the Cabot Watch Company in the UK, who have supplied the British armed forces with watches since the 70’s and are known as one of the ‘Fab 4’. The Fab 4 were Hamilton, Newmark, Precista and of course CWC. I can see

Owner Review: Seiko Prospex Solar SNE541 – A Panerai for the skinny wristed
The last time I bought a watch was my 2.5 watchmaker’s edition G-Shock and look how badly that turned out. This time I purchased a watch based purely on my own desires with no peer pressure from other watchmakers. I have thought about getting a tuna on numerous occasions but always thought they would be

Owner Review – Seiko SKX009J – Memoirs of a discontinued Seiko
The humble Seiko SKX009J. A beater for many, but for me a watch of memories and my first “collector” watch. The first day I wore it I enjoyed one of the nicest days of my life so far. I made it to scans on time without having to wait. I visited Pellegrini’s for the first

Owner Review: Cartier Santos Dumont Ultra Thin – That Made Me a Broken Man…
I never thought I’d be here when it first started, when I first embarked on my watch journey years ago. Where some thought “timeless” I thought “antiquated”, simple indices over roman numerals, complications over simplicity, and a watchbox to wake to rather than a watch that remained on my waking wrist. Yet, here I am

Owner Review: Seiko Memo Diary UC-3000
I look up from my glass with its splash of nicotine coloured whisky and glance at my super sleek black digital watch. It shows 3:50 which tells me the office clock is wrong by a good two minutes. You can’t beat digitals for accuracy. I look through my office window at the girls in the

Owner Review: TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 Chronograph -“in-house”
To me, this TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 Chronograph is a special watch. I remember the first time I saw it in a magazine, I had to have it and it took quite a while before the watch was actually available for sale. I remember waiting ages for it to finally come out and it was

Owner Review: Seiko 6139 Pogue Chronograph
I can remember the moment that the rabbit hole opened for me, and the Seiko 6139 Pogue Chronograph was the key that unlocked it. It was 2015 and I was googling watches as I wanted to upgrade from my Fossil. I had no idea there were watch forums, or strange ‘watch people’ out there, so

Owner Review: Sears Tradition Skin Diver – A 1970s Cult Classic
If your parents ever dragged you to the local Sears department store for back-to-school supplies in the 1970s, somewhere among the endless racks of discounted tie-dye shirts and bell-bottom jeans, you may have seen this handsome Sears Tradition Skin Diver sitting in a display case. “Tradition” was Sears Roebuck’s private label for their line of

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…
