Owner Review: Vintage ZentRa
Often you hear, that the watch virus was passed on from father to son. Not so in my case. My father was always wearing cheap department-storesque quartz watches. Actually I purchased the last one he wore, as my mother – I must have been around 20 this time – asked me to buy him a…

Owner Review: Certina DS PH200m – Vintage Re-issue is Not S**te!
Firstly, Certina has previously released a lot of boring shitty looking watches, but have recently created some pretty cool timepieces. I have been admiring some of their vintage diver watches. So I decided to have look at their latest offerings and almost shat myself with excitement when I found out that the Certina DS PH200m…

Owner Review: Glycine Combat Sub Vintage – A Black Bay 58 Alternative?
I will start by saying this – No matter which side of the fence you’re on about this piece: the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage is a hell of a lot of watch for your money. The Combat Sub line offers a seemingly endless variety of dials, colors, and straps. If you don’t like this one,…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 79190 – Vintage meets modern
I get it. You’re looking for a vintage dive watch. They’re so hot right now. A transitional matte dial Submariner, that’d be sweet. You’ll probably find yourself looking at 1680s, maybe 16800s. Naturally, they look awesome. Then you look at the price. What if I told you that you could get all of that vintage…

Owner Review: Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military OVM
I can hear the watch snobs…sipping on their Haterades as I type this review. The first time I bought the Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military I was very happy with it. Then I started to read the reviews, damning this homage watch to being no better than a fake. So I sold it…I felt a bit…

Owner Review: Vintage Tudor Ranger 7996
Despite being an ETA-based, Rolex parts bin special, I absolutely adore vintage Tudors watches. From a business perspective, I can’t exactly argue with Tudor for their steps to separate themselves from their bigger and more famous brother Rolex. However, I feel that most of their newer offerings sometimes lack the warmth and charm of their…

Owner Review: Oris ChronOris – Racy Vintage Vibe!
Let me start by saying that I really do love the Oris ChronOris! I have owned this watch for almost 2 years now and it makes me smile every time I wear it. For my just over 7 inch wrist it is a perfect everyday size at 39mm in diameter and 43 mm lug to…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 75090 – Neo Vintage
In my three watch collection, a neo vintage Submariner is my sport/active watch. I don’t like the term beater; to me it implies being disposable. I see my Tudor Submariner more as being ultra durable. I don’t have to worry about it at all. In fact, the scuffs, scratches and fading make it look better.…
