Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114200
I’ve been collecting watches for a few years now, since just before the whole steel sports watch thing blew up and long before the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114200 existed. I wish I could say that when I started out I bought a handful of Subs and left them boxed and stickered and have now sold…

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300
A few years ago, while on holiday, I saw a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300 in a shop window in Florence that immediately appealed to me. I just fell in love. At first I thought it was one of those modified vintage watches, but back home I realised it was a new Baselworld release. So it…

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300 white dial or as some might call it, matte silver dial, is a very classy watch that also enjoys a minimalistic style.

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss Z Blue – A Rolex you never considered
Since I got the Rolex bug last year, there has been one watch that has caught my eye since the days that stemmed from getting my Oyster Perpetual 116000 blue dial. There was another blue dial watch that I couldn’t get off my mind. Why? Maybe because the dial is so mesmerizing, with that green…

Owner Review: Rolex Air-King 116900
Yes it’s a controversial subtitle but it’s true and it relates directly to the Rolex Air-King 116900. The watch community (especially Rolex enthusiasts) complain about a lot of things such as hands, dials colours, sizes and bracelets. One of the things they would like more of (me included) is Rolex actually paying more attention by…

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss White Dial 116400
For my fifth Fifth Wrist review, I felt somewhat obligated, for the first time, to review a Rolex. Moans and groans from the readers, at this point? Though this is not, in my subjective opinion, a ‘run of the mill’ Rolex (pardon the pun…). This Rolex Milgauss White Dial 116400 exudes fun, plus it is…
