My Prison watch! The Invicta Grand Diver Automatic
Back in 2012, my Dad bought me this Invicta. I hate to sound unappreciative, but to me, that was like getting handkerchiefs for Xmas, but not coal! I’d owned a few Invictas in the past, and they were awful! However, Dad bought it, so it meant a lot! I owned several good watches at the

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1005 – 2 Brands are Better Than 1
Let’s get right to it. What makes vintage watches worthwhile are the feelings it can evoke and the innate beauty that comes from knowing the design, character, and details will never be replicated again. The watch becomes truly special if there is a story behind it or has taken on a pleasant patina- something that

Owner Review: JS Watch Company Sif N.A.R.T
As a serial watch flipper this is the longest time I’ve owned a watch, so I guess I must like it as I have no intention to sell my JS Watch Company Sif N.A.R.T. There is a lot of things to like about this watch and the company from Reykjavik, Iceland. Self proclaimed as Probably

Owner Review: Nomos Metro – small seconds, big style
The Nomos Metro was designed by German designer Martin Braun but at the same time is still a very typical Nomos watch, although still a little bit different. I like the clean and clear design of Nomos watches in general, but I also like the way this watch is just that bit more elegant with

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore 26470or
With the sun shining in the sky, beautifully tanned arms, and a perfect white T-shirt, this particular piece is unbeatable. I love the size and the “umpff” on my wrist that only a watch like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore 26470or provides. The polished and brushed case gives so much back to the

Editorial: Is the Longines 30ch the Best Chronograph Ever Produced?
I am a passionate collector of Longines chronographs and I would like to dedicate a “love poem” to Longines 30ch chronographs, which was designed in 1947 after having ceased production of the previous and fantastic caliber 13ZN. The 30ch was produced until the early years of 70s. I think that the 30ch is an authentic

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique
It was in May 2019, as a birthday present to oneself, I finally acquired my first Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Opting to purchase a good condition, used Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique – seen as the entry-level Reverso – I took the view that this was a watch to enjoy, have a bit of fun with and engrave to

Owner Review: Grand Seiko SBGX061 – Quartz at its Best
This is the Grand Seiko SBGX061 with the revered 9F62 quartz movement. Yes, it’s a quartz. If you’re brushing this away as a regular quartz then you’re missing out, a lot. The model somehow grabbed my attention. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the look of the ultra-sharp hands or the sweet proportion. Or maybe

Owner Review: Citizen Nighthawk – A Quick Flyby
A part of many driver, flyer, diver collections, the Citizen Nighthawk makes for a great entry piece into the world of aviation watches. What makes it so appealing? First and foremost, it is the dial. At a glance, the dial itself seems cluttered and busy. However, it is ultra-legible. The applied indices are spaced out

Owner Review: Tudor Oyster Prince 7995 Tuxedo Dial
The Tudor Oyster Prince 7995 with the “Tuxedo Dial” is an almost iconic example of mid-60’s culture (this particular watch was manufactured in 1966). It was originally intended to be strictly a dress watch and typifies the style of watch many would wear to work along with a suit during this period. The Tudor Oyster

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…
