Owner Review: Rolex Ceramic Daytona 116500LN
First released in 2016 as a replacement to the 116520, the steel Rolex Ceramic Daytona 116500LN is today one of the most iconic and sought after of all Rolex pieces – to say it is a legendary model is absolutely not an exaggeration in the current climate, where earlier variants of this models have been…

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer Two-Tone 124273
Punk music was largely a reaction to the popular music of the late sixties and seventies, namely Prog Rock and Disco. It was contrarian by nature. Its aim was to destroy. The Rolex Explorer Two-Tone 124273 is Rolex’s version of Punk Rock. When it was launched in the spring of 2021, it completely flew in the…

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…

Owner Review: Rolex Daytona 116500LN
The Rolex Daytona 116500LN is one of those watches that is well known amongst watch collectors and normal people alike. Mention the words Rolex Daytona and depending on who you talk to they will variously think of words like luxury, hard-to-get, Paul Newman, SS shortage, extreme grey market pricing and so on. Everyone seems to…

Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 36 Palm Dial
I realised watch reviews, unboxings, hands-on and other talking watches are about the owner more than the watch itself. It’s simple, we are the ones giving watches a meaning and some of them can be quite deep. I guess that’s one of the reasons why I fell in love with watches, and particularly this Rolex…

Owner review: Rolex Day-Date Everose 36mm Eisenkissel Dial
Ask any watch collector about a Rolex and I’m sure some will tell you that the Rolex Day-Date is the epitome of what Rolex has to offer. The Day-Date is colloquially referred to as the Rolex President as a few US Presidents have been pictured wearing Day-Dates. While Rolex doesn’t specifically refer to Day-Dates as…

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 Explorer 124270
It’s hilarious just how much that subtitle title will trigger a lot of “men” out there. Don’t believe me? Here’s an actual exchange prompted by a comment I wrote on a friend’s Instagram post referring to the Rolex Explorer 124270, jokingly, saturated in flamboyance: “There are only two types of people in this world. Those…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 116610LN
When one thinks of Rolex, it is hard for the Submariner not to come to mind. There have been numerous versions of the Submariner over the years, and up for review today is my newly acquired 116610LN. The 116610LN was introduced in 2010, and was only recently discontinued and replaced by the newer, 41mm 126610LN…

Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 1603
I have been (and still am) a vintage 1960s Seiko enthusiast for twenty-something years. I also aspired to own a vintage Rolex since reading those National Geographic ads back in the glorious 60s and 70s. Last year I felt I was ready to move on to this stage, consolidated my vintage Seiko collection to a…

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…
