Owner Review: Tissot navigator worldtime 160th anniversary by @timely_behaviour
The globe on your wrist! “She’s almost ready” yells one of the ground crew. You figure it’s about time you made a move, taking a last gulp of coffee you move on from a small table in the hangar. Walking out you are thinking about what lays ahead of you, crossing the Atlantic in record…

Owner Review: Tudor Oyster 7394 Small Rose by @timely_behaviour
It’s hot and terribly humid, you fight your way through the forest undergrowth. This is the moment you wanted, months of planning for this expedition.
