Owner Review: Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934 Stainless Steel

The word and brand Rolex invoke different things for different people. Most commonly when people think of Rolex they think of wealth, money, excess, rich movie stars and performers. For me Rolex is all about the great solid watch they make. A watch I can buy and wear for 20-30 years and then pass on…

Owner Review: Seiko Chronograph 7A28-7040

A black dialled watch with sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9… Could be a Speedmaster? Or a Daytona? Or any number of copycat derivatives. Not this one, this is the Seiko Chronograph 7A28-7040. In early 1983, Seiko unveiled the world’s first analogue quartz movement with integrated chronograph function. Up until then, unbelievable as it seems…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical White Dial

Almost all watch enthusiasts (and YouTube reviewers on a slow day) have given this one a thought at least once – what is the ideal apocalypse watch? A G-Shock? No, the battery will eventually run out. Something solar-powered, then? Perhaps, but what if the sun is blocked by a dust cloud from a cataclysmic event…

G-Shock and Casio collectors: this one may have slipped under your radar, but it should definitely ‘ping’ your interest. While many under $30 dollar Casios are a bit small and/or delicate, the new-ish Casio DW-291H series looks built to take a beating, has world time functionality, and great legibility and ergonomics. And with a typical…

Owner Review: Dali Soft Watch – The Persistence of Memory

When I was younger, I was obsessed with Salvador Dalí. I spent hours in the museums of different countries. I read his memoirs and studied his works. During one trip to Spain in 2001, I visited a town of Figueres, which had a museum that Dalí created. I spent a day wandering from room to…

Owner Review: Nite Watches MX10 – A Modern Field Watch

The Nite Watches MX10 is a truly unique one, featuring two things that I’ve never had in my collection, along with two of my favorite things. I’ve never owned a watch with an integrated bracelet, nor one with tritium tube hand/dial markers. And I love olive drab green and 24-hour dials. So here we have…
