Owner Review: Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 2 126710 BLRO

You all know this watch. Nothing I can write here will likely change your feelings on it. Some are anxious to own one, and some are blatantly ignorant of its existence. It is of course, the 2018 Basel release Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 2 126710 BLRO, also known as simply “the Pepsi”. When Rolex teased…

Owner Review: Rolex GMT Master 16750 Pepsi

The Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 16750 is a great looking watch but in my opinion only on a bracelet. It is both undeniably iconic and a strong contender for a one-watch collection. This particular reference is considered a transitional model and was produced in the eighties. The Rolex 3075 movement is rock solid and even…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 16613 Serti

Rolex Submariner 16613 Serti (Gem-set) dial or also sometimes called the Sultan (Sovereign in Middle-East) dial submariner 16613- a stunning gem-set dial that can take you from day to night. The two-tone 18 carat gold, 8 diamond hour markers with 3 sapphire indexes breathes a sense of romance into an otherwise boring run of the…

Owner Review: Rolex Comex Sea Dweller 16600

Military watches first got my interest around 2010, when I got my FAP Omega with archive certification. From then on I went crazy over them. As Comex, Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises, is one of the most iconic logos among collectors, I am incredibly attracted to this group of divers. I chanced upon this Rolex Comex Sea…

Owner Review: Rolex Day-Date 36mm 118238

Initially released in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date 36mm has truly shown that it has the ability to stand the test of time. It really is a classic and timeless piece, which remains virtually unchanged when viewed in the current Rolex boutique window (there isn’t much else in the window). Some people say that size isn’t…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner “No Date” 114060

My first Rolex was an Explorer purchased about two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, the Explorer is a great watch: understated, comfortable, a great candidate for a “one watch collection” if you’re not able to spend a lot of money and choose to have only one great watch. But I suppose I was not…

Owner Review: Rolex Zenith Daytona 16520

Anyone who is ‘into watches’ knows the Daytona, it’s perhaps the eponymous chronograph of the modern day. Rugged, distinctive and now sadly nearly impossible to get hold of in its current guise without felating an authorized dealer with unpleasant regularity, paying an enormous premium on the secondary market or being a professional sportsman. My proclivity…

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss Z Blue 116400GV

When it comes to hyped steel sports models, the Rolex Milgauss Z Blue 116400GV is often overlooked. The Milgauss reference 6541 was first introduced in 1956 with the lightning bolt seconds hand and was designed for engineers and scientists. The name Milgauss came from the French word “mille” which means a thousand and “Gauss” which…

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer II Polar 16570

The Rolex Explorer II Polar 16570 has been gaining popularity in the past months, and I think it will gain more traction in 2020. Rolex Explorer II 16570 was first released in 1988 as a more robust update of the 16550 with the caliber 3185 which enabled the GMT hand to be adjustable, as used…
