Owner review: RGMT New Demolition
RGMT is a relatively new watch company that specializes in overbuilt military inspired tool watches. With model names like Artillery, BattleDress and Demolition well, you get the idea. The RGMT New Demolition seems to be a more feature-heavy version of the Demolition model. To start with, it has a pretty standard diver bezel that appears…

Owner review: Bulgari Aluminium GMT 103702
“Bulgari Aluminium GMT Amerigo Vespucci Special Edition ref. 103702” that’s a mouthful. A watch, in a long line of Bulgari Aluminiums, previously known as the Bulgari Diagano around the early 90s-00s, that continues an iconic design unique to Bulgari. They nailed the brief on this design, much like any Cartier watch, remove the branding and…

Owner review: Rolex GMT Master II
There is no denying that we sometimes wear watches to look and feel like someone we aspire to be. No other than the infamous con artist Frank W. Abagnale could have said it any better “There is enchantment in a uniform, especially one that marks the wearer as a person of rare skills, courage or…

Owner review: Hermes Slim d’Hermes GMT
Back in 2018 when the Hermes Slim d’Hermes GMT dropped, I was smitten. I loved the Philippe Apeloig designed font, the asymmetric layout, the contrasting pop of the sub-dial, and the multi-faceted stick hands. I’ll admit the biggest sticking point for me was that Hermes wasn’t recognized as a serious watch brand. While it’s arguable…

Owner review: Seiko GMT SSK001
I had to go on an overseas work trip so gave myself an excuse to buy a GMT watch. As I don’t think I’ll be getting my Rolex Pepsi anytime soon, I decided to have a look at the relatively new Seiko 5 GMTs. I really wanted to try on the Seiko GMT SSK001 (black…

Owner review: Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB
I have lusted after a Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB since 2018 when it was released alongside the Rolex GMT Pepsi. For some reason, I just found the Tudor more appealing and of course, it being half the price of the Rolex it seemed like the Tudor GMT was a much better value proposition. I…

Owner review: Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT
Meet my Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT. I travel a lot, sometimes being in different timezones, I wanted a watch that could track at least two timezones. The search began and while my eye always pointed to this Christopher Ward there was one thing I didn’t like, that being the logo in writing. They always…

Owner review: Glycine Combat Sub GMT
I used to travel a lot for work and when I started collecting watches (not so long ago), I was always intrigued by a GMT complication, but most of them were out of my budget. I also liked Glycine Combat Subs but I was kind of intimidated by the size. Then I discovered that they…

Owner review: Seiko 5 GMT SSK001
Prior to the whole COVID situation, travelling used to be quite a frequent event for me, either for family holidays, or to attend work-related conferences. When COVID hit, all that changed, but I remain hopeful that hassle-free travel will return. Hence, I’m presenting my new Seiko 5 GMT SSK001! Hoping for it to accompany on…

Owner Review: Rolex GMT Master 1675
Long before the Rolex GMT Master 1675, my watch collecting journey had been quite an interesting one. When I first started, I shuddered to think that paying $2000 for a simple Omega Seamster was just nuts when a Seiko for $200 could fulfil exactly the same task. I soon found out that the beautiful wide…
