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…

Owner Review: Rolex Oysterquartz 17014

I’ve always been drawn to the weird and wonderful world of 70’s watch and car design. To me the Rolex Oysterquartz 17014 is a perfect embodiment of my tastes but what’s it like to wear? In a word-special. On the wrist, the 36mm case appears larger than the regular Oyster case, helped in part by…

Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 16628

The all gold Rolex Yacht-Master 16628.. It’s the one to start all Yacht-Masters and the timepiece that started my watch fever as a young man. I selected it as my goal watch because my father said that when I had a real job and proved myself as responsible, he would let me wear it and…

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 GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO

Having owned the Pepsi BLRO in stainless steel, my next natural progression was to also own a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO. The meteorite dial is an extremely special piece to me, as no two dials are identical. As most Rolex sport models have the same 40mm cases and only 2 versions of different…

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…

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. It is a great every day watch as it fits pretty much every occasion and goes with almost every outfit. It really can handle anything you might…

Owner Review: Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600

I have always been a huge fan of dive watches. Something about their practical, no-nonsense design and usability has appealed to me since my interest in watches started. One of those dive watches is manufactured by none other than Rolex, a heavy-weight in this category for its timeless designs and innovation. This is my review…
