Owner Review: Seiko 6138 Yachtsman a.k.a UFO
I have a thing for vintage Seiko watches. Dive watches, dress watches, chronographs, I like them all. But one watch that really caught my eye was the Seiko 6138 Yachtsman. It is better known as the UFO, due to its flying saucer-shaped case. The UFO is a bruiser of a vintage chronograph measuring in at

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101
The Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 is considered by many watch aficionados to be the less-hot sister of the famous AP Royal Oak. Who cares what those hype beasts think though? This particular version of the Millenary comes in a stunning 47mm steel oval case, measures 13mm in thickness, with a massive 20 meter water resistance,

Owner Review: A. Lange and Söhne 1815
The A. Lange and Sohne 1815, along with some of Lange’s other early models, can be found pre-owned around the $10k budget, making them an absolute steal for the quality.

Owner Review: Longines Legend Diver
Legend has it that reissues are on-trend, and it appears that will continue for some time yet. Longines has lead this game and were one of the firsts with the release of the mighty Longines Legend Diver.

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer 114270 – The Great Allrounder
What I really like about the Rolex Explorer 114270 is it’s understated, tough, but most of all, versatile. Arguably most referred to as the “One Watch” or the “Only Watch” you’ll ever need.

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Blue Panda
There are many iterations of the Omega Speedmaster, but it’s not every day that you come across a blue panda. After all, pandas are black and white. Introducing the Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Blue Panda. The techy stuff: Its measures 39.7mm across and 14.37mm thick, sapphire crystal, and calibre 1861 movement. Some would argue that it’s

Owner Review: Longines Legend Diver 36mm
As a mega-fan of super compressor style cases, I was beyond excited to be one of the first get my hands on the 36mm Longines Legend Diver (LLD). I already own a 36mm Hamilton super compressor so I have no issues wearing a 36mm watch and I am a big fan of the two crown

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…
