Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 1603 – Envy Ain’t Always Green

OK, so I shouldn’t even be wearing this Rolex Datejust 1603. It is a long long story but I got this watch as a present for my wonderful wife for her birthday. It all happened one evening when wine and whisky were all too much involved. I subtly said to her “do you like this…

Owner Review: Rolex GMT Master II Batman BLNR 116710

Long before I found the Rolex GMT Master II Batman BLNR 116710 the watch bug bit me when I was relatively young. I was around 17 years of age when my dad got his SUB No date pre ceramic, that’s the first time I felt and tried on a Rolex. Until then I had only…

Owner Review: Rolex Turn-O-Graph 6202

Black sheep of the family: everyone has one…or two. Even the mighty Rolex is not immune! After all, not every watch is a commercial success. That being said, just because something isn’t an inherent success, doesn’t mean it is a failure—far from it. Oftentimes things just don’t get the credit they deserve or are overlooked,…

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1005 – 2 Brands are Better Than 1

Let’s get right to it. What makes vintage watches worthwhile are the feelings it can evoke and the innate beauty that comes from knowing the design, character, and details will never be replicated again.

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer 114270 – The Great Allrounder

What I really like about the Rolex Explorer 114270 is it’s understated, tough, but most of all, versatile. Arguably most referred to as the “One Watch” or the “Only Watch” you’ll ever need.
