Owner Review: Omega Dirty Dozen 1940s

As a history buff and lover of Omega, the 1940s ref W.W.W. (Watch, Wrist, Waterproof) is a grail watch for me. And when I found an original Omega Dirty Dozen with its luminous radium dial and hands, I knew I had to jump at the opportunity. The ref W.W.W is one of the famed “Dirty…

Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 1603

I have been (and still am) a vintage 1960s Seiko enthusiast for twenty-something years. I also aspired to own a vintage Rolex since reading those National Geographic ads back in the glorious 60s and 70s. Last year I felt I was ready to move on to this stage, consolidated my vintage Seiko collection to a…

Owner Review: Piaget Tiger Eye 9741

Piaget is an interesting brand. They simply don’t get the credit they deserve. Not only are they movement makers, but they are also movement innovators. This Piaget Tiger Eye 9741 sports the famed 9P movement, the slimmest movement ever created at the time. Piaget has continued to push the boundaries when it comes to making…

Owner Review: Frederique Constant Slimline Perpetual Calendar

Frederique Constant is a brand that offers serious value. A newer brand that has 15 in-house movements under their umbrella, impressive? Yes. I am no stranger to the brand, back in 2015 my first decent watch was a Frederique Constant. Since then I have added quite a few watches to my collection, then it came…

Owner Review: Sinn 105 UTC – truly modern moderism

Start with a Sinn 104 and strip away all the fluff; the polish, the gloss, the fancy hands and leave just a no-nonsense piece of industrial design intended to tell you the time in the easiest, brightest and lightest way and you’ve got the Sinn 105 UTC. This watch has (almost) nothing it doesn’t need…

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer II 1655

Feels a bit strange to review a watch from 1974. The Rolex Explorer II 1655 is one that I’ve had my eye on for ages. I love the look. I love that it is a ’70s Rolex steel sports watch that is not as common as many other models. I’m also a sucker for 24…
