Even though I had seen many black dive watches before, this stuck in my head. I searched for every post with this watch that…

Owner review: Glycine Combat Sub GMT

I used to travel a lot for work and when I started collecting watches (not so long ago), I was always intrigued by a GMT complication, but most of them were out of my budget. I also liked Glycine Combat Subs but I was kind of intimidated by the size. Then I discovered that they…

Owner review: Nomos Orion Neomatik Silvercut

I’m no stranger to Nomos, the Nomos Orion Neomatik Silvercut is the fourth one I’ve owned. It came up for sale from a fellow watch collector, barely used, so I just went for it.

Owner review: Pagani Design PD1685

How many Divers actually get pushed to their 200m-300m subsurface claims? How many GMT’s are actually set to an important alternate timeline? How many chronographs are actually timing the speed of an aircraft? As I type this I am wearing a Bulova LP that cannot even tell me the date! But, I digress. This review…
